Client for Chromebook to linux image
Hello,
We have noticed a lot of kids with chrome books coming in , is anyone aware
of any program I can install on the chrome book that would allow them to
connect to a Linux Virtual image. Thank you

Thanks Josh,
I'm using a custom theme that contains classes depending on which OS, it
detects , therefore, it may display different connection options. For
instance, for RDP if it detects Windows client it just displays the
download rdp file, if it detects MAC, it displays information on
downloading CORD, so I just need to find out where it's doing that and why
it's detecting Chrome book as Linux. Thanks

David,
The connection method is how to connect to the image from any client. The
information is not specific to the computer you are connecting *from*. It is
specific to the image your are connecting *to*. You can remove the SSH
connection method from the image if you don't want it to show up. Just
realize it will remove that information for all users, regardless of the
device used to connect. To remove a connection method, edit the image
profile, expand the Advanced Options, and select the Modify Connection Methods
button.
I hope that helps.
Josh

Re: Client for Chromebook to linux image

FYI, I downloaded a free app for Chrome called accessstogo and that seems
to be working with xrdp, just not sure why it's grabbing the connection
method for linux clients when they are on the chromebooks. I need to
separate the two.

Thanks Aaron,
Yeah, when I create a reservation on the chromebook the connection method
for linux (xrdp) shows up once the client browser once they click the
connect button. How do I leave the Linux one alone and just create one for
the chrome books?

Re: Client for Chromebook to linux image

We currently use xRDP for Linux desktops, I think this (rdp) has a
plugin for chrome apps. Maybe Chrome Remote Access
http://www.xrdp.org/
You'll need to enable / update the VCL connection methods for the
linux image. This is under the image profiles.
https://vcl.apache.org/docs/connectmethods.html
There are others, that might work better than xRDP like x2go and
FreeNX? but I'm not sure if there are chrome plugins for those.
Hope this helps,
Aaron
