Issue number Description Workaround
TIR98356 You cannot use the headset key to pick/end
calls in Blast SFB and JVDI.
There is no workaround in this
release. This issue will be fixed in next
release.
TIR98796 After you install the JVDI package, the Trap 14
error occurs if you switch the playback device
from HD audio to DP audio during the Horizon
SFB call.
There is no workaround in this
release.
Multiple logins with Citrix and VMware Horizon
ThinOS supports PNA multiple login feature. You can log in to multiple Citrix StoreFront or PNAgent using different credentials.
From this release onwards, you can simultaneously log in to Citrix StoreFront/PNAgent and the VDM server.
To configure the multiple login feature, do the following:
1. Configure the Pnlite server and VDI broker in the INI file as follows:
SelectServerList=vdm; \
description="description" host=<fqdn of Horizon Server>
SelectServerList=pna; \
description="description" host=<fqdn of StoreFront Server>
Or
multilogon=yes
pnliteserver=<fqdn of StoreFront Server>
VDIBroker=<fqdn of Horizon Server>
Or
multilogon=yes
SelectServerList=vdm; \
description="description" host=<fqdn of Horizon Server>
SelectServerList=pna; \
description="description" host=<fqdn of StoreFront Server>
2. In the login window, select either the Citrix or VMware broker to log in, or log in to both Citrix and VMware brokers with
different credentials.
Limitation
ThinOS supports a single VDM login even if the MultiLogon parameter is set to yes. When you log in to the first VDI broker
successfully, the succeeding VDI brokers are ignored.
For example:
multilogon=yes
VDIBroker=<fqdn of Horizon Server 1>;
VDIBroker=<fqdn of Horizon Server 2>
If the first VDI broker login is successful, the second VDI broker is ignored. If the first VDI broker login fails, the second VDI
broker is considered.
BIOS update
In this release, ThinOS enables you to update BIOS firmware for Wyse 5060 and 3030 LT thin client by using Wyse Management
Suite version 1.3.
