It's awesome!

I only use Citrix , is it possible to remove the other software so it's more lightweight?

maybe with apt-get remove? which packages are safe to remove if I only use citrix and iceweasel

thanks so much!! great work!

Hi Alex,

why you just dont use the citrix only release insted?

Regards DaWast

[Alex Apostolidis]

hey dawest! because it has the older receiver (12), and I think 13 can squeeze more juice out of the rPi

[DaWast]

Ok, this is an argument.
But you can also install the new receiver in the citrix only release with

Code:

sudo apt-get install icaclient

.
This will install the Receiver V13.
But you have to change some things by your self like the right click menu.

Otherwise of corse you can remove some unneeded packages.
But there isn't a list of what you can remove safely.

regards DaWast

Hi,

could you explain me how I can build the image only with citrix and without the intro video. Because I need a faster boot.

Hi there, late to the party but i wanted to give feedback

Two things

1. Instead of a plethora of gui/cli-based RDP options maybe just using remmina by default would be better for average users(pros can still set up cli options using apt-get), too many icons scare newbies
2. On my model-B the network info background widget isn't working(no ip or mac), how can I make it work?

Everything else is running AOK

[Gibbio]

conky is configured to show eth0 info, if you are using other eth interface you have to modify conky or check the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
and delete all the aliases

Hi,
How obligate the Raspberry Pi to boot in browser mode ?
And how put a URL by default ?

Thanks for your attention,
