Modern versions of HP thin clients has a connection manager system, dubbed "Manticore". This system is used both on the "normal" thin clients (ThinPro, used on t610 etc) as well as the zero clients (SmartZero, used on t410 etc). See http://www8.hp.com/us/en/thin-clients/software-and-os.html. On ThinPro, there's typically an option to create a custom connection, which means that we can launch tlclient anyway, although with a bit of manual configuration. However, on SmartZero, there's no such option, so a Manticore profile is a requirement. This bug is about creating such a profile. Basically, we need to create: /usr/share/manticore/plugins/thinlinc/config /usr/share/manticore/plugins/thinlinc/default.xml Then, at least on the SmartZero, one needs to indicate that this profile should be available, by making sure that the registry key root/ConnectionType/thinlinc/connections exists. I believe this can be done with a command such as: mclient create root/ConnectionType/thinlinc/connections mclient commit Or, we could create & import an XML file.
Fixed in r29079,r29102,r29105. Should be tested on both "standard" and "zero" versions of HP ThinPro, for example t410 and t610. Also check documentation. Time will be reported on bug 4496.
The "zero" client works (but see bug 4496). The "standard" one had some issues though: - ThinLinc isn't an option in the configuration wizard - You cannot delete ThinLinc connections in user mode. Other types do not have this limitation. I also got an automatic installation UI when I plugged in a USB stick with the .deb files in the root directory. Perhaps we should update our instructions? Note that this only happens on the "standard" device.

Not much we can do about this. Documented in 29465.
Works fine now.
Breaks client package on Solaris. Solaris runs the postinstall script through sh, which does not support test -e.

Works on Solaris now, and still works on the HP client. I did however notice that we do not remove our entry from that file when uninstalling the client.

All done then.
