System intermittently hangs while running Firefox 2.x. SOLUTION This occurs because the flash file system has no available space, which may be caused by the Firefox 2.x list of suspected forgery sites that are downloaded to the client by default. Try disabling this feature by clearing the Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected forgery check box under Firefox 2.x > Tools > Security. If you install a version of Firefox that you did not obtain from HP, you may also want to run the /usr/share/hp/firefoxtweaks script as root from an xterm or console to reduce unnecessary writes to the flash disk. XDM ISSUE You cannot run an X application to a local machine when you Telnet to a remote XDM. SOLUTION The default configuration disables this functionality because of security concerns. You can enable by removing -nolisten TCP from /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers and restarting the X server. ISSUE Keyboard is dead/locks up when VT is set between 1 and 6 in an XDM connection. SOLUTION VT's 1 through 6 are reserved as additional getty's by default. Press the power button to shutdown, then either select a different VT or modify /etc/inittab and comment out the line that creates the getty you would like to use. Reboot for the changes to take effect. Kiosk ISSUE When you shut down or reboot while in Kiosk mode, you get a blank, blue screen and no connection. SOLUTION This occurs at logout when a non-root user is in Kiosk mode with no auto-connection and the user was not granted rights from the administrator to reboot or shut down the system. Printing ISSUE You cannot print a large job to local printers in rdesktop sessions. SOLUTION This issue may occur if a large volume of documents or an individually large document is sent to the local printer. Try to send large documents to a printer that is not connected locally to the thin client. If you want to print multiple documents, allow the print queue to clear before submitting the documents.

System intermittently hangs while running Firefox 2.x.
SOLUTION
This occurs because the flash file system has no available space, which may be caused by the Firefox 2.x
list of suspected forgery sites that are downloaded to the client by default. Try disabling this feature by
clearing the
Tell me if the site I’m visiting is a suspected forgery
check box under
Firefox 2.x
> Tools > Security
. If you install a version of Firefox that you did not obtain from HP, you may also
want to run the
/usr/share/hp/firefoxtweaks
script as root from an xterm or console to reduce
unnecessary writes to the flash disk.
XDM
ISSUE
You cannot run an X application to a local machine when you Telnet to a remote XDM.
SOLUTION
The default configuration disables this functionality because of security concerns. You can enable by
removing
–nolisten TCP
from /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers and restarting the X server.
ISSUE
Keyboard is dead/locks up when VT is set between 1 and 6 in an XDM connection.
SOLUTION
VT’s 1 through 6 are reserved as additional getty's by default. Press the power button to shutdown, then
either select a different VT or modify
/etc/inittab
and comment out the line that creates the getty you
would like to use. Reboot for the changes to take effect.
Kiosk
ISSUE
When you shut down or reboot while in Kiosk mode, you get a blank, blue screen and no connection.
SOLUTION
This occurs at logout when a non-root user is in Kiosk mode with no auto-connection and the user was not
granted rights from the administrator to reboot or shut down the system.
Printing
ISSUE
You cannot print a large job to local printers in rdesktop sessions.
SOLUTION
This issue may occur if a large volume of documents or an individually large document is sent to the local
printer. Try to send large documents to a printer that is not connected locally to the thin client. If you want
to print multiple documents, allow the print queue to clear before submitting the documents.
