Page 84 highlights

SOLUTION When there is no existing /etc/.hpconman/wfclient.ini, cman will use the one created by wfcmgr, but there is an entry missing from the default wfclient.ini that only gets created after you enable it through wfcmgr. If you have already run cman, you need to remove the version without AllowAudioInput=True and enable audio in wfcmgr so cman will create a new version with the correct value. ISSUE USB storage devices that are automatically mounted and then mapped through an ICA connection with enabled read and write options fail to save, edit or delete files on the USB device. SOLUTION One workaround for this Citrix ICA issue is to change /etc/fstab and /etc/hal/devices.d/50pmount.hal to umask-000. However, you should evaluate the security implications of this workaround in your specific environment. rdesktop ISSUE You add a rdesktop connection with the default settings, and then change the video size to 200 percent or to full screen on Media Player, and no video displays. SOLUTION 1. In HP Connection Administrator, select the connection, and then click Edit. 2. Click the Experience tab. 3. Clear Bitmap caching and Use persistent bitmap caching. Firefox ISSUE Firefox inside HP Connection Administrator is not recognizing the proxy settings from the desktop version of Firefox. SOLUTION If behind a firewall, disable "ping first", because most firewalls block ping. ISSUE When Auto is enabled in HP Connection Administrator for a Firefox connection with two Firefox secondary connections, the error "Firefox is already running , but it is not responding" message displays. SOLUTION To open new Firefox windows, you must first close the existing Firefox process or restart the system. This is a known Firefox issue for the shipping version.

SOLUTION
When there is no existing /etc/.hpconman/wfclient.ini, cman will use the one created by wfcmgr, but
there is an entry missing from the default wfclient.ini that only gets created after you enable it through
wfcmgr. If you have already run cman, you need to remove the version without AllowAudioInput=True
and enable audio in wfcmgr so cman will create a new version with the correct value.
ISSUE
USB storage devices that are automatically mounted and then mapped through an ICA connection with
enabled read and write options fail to save, edit or delete files on the USB device.
SOLUTION
One workaround for this Citrix ICA issue is to change
/etc/fstab

/etc/hal/devices.d/50-
pmount.hal
to
umask-000
. However, you should evaluate the security implications of this workaround
in your specific environment.

ISSUE

secondary connections, the error “Firefox is already running , but it is not responding” message displays.
