Thinlinc: Terminal Server Environment

  • The 'thinlic' environment will replace the 'Sun Ray' terminals during 2013.
  • Advantages of Thinlinc against 'Sun Ray':
    • Supports latest Linux OS natively.
      • This is the main reason for the migration.
    • Much better grafic speed:
      • Smoother scrolling on websites.
      • Playing Videos.
    • Much better USB Stick support.
    • Accessing the same session locally (at the institute) and remotely (for example at home).
    • IT Support will be possible by 'shadow'-ing the session with the IT group.
  • Disadvantage
    • Power on takes longer.
    • Sound problems after reconnecting the session. Start the application again (for webbrowsers: reload the webpage).
    • At the moment 'Smart Card' support is not enabled.

Terminals at the institute

  • Login with your regular I-MATH account.

Terminals outside the institute: thinlinc@home

  • Install the native Client (Linux, Windows, Mac) - no Android or iOS Support.
  • Start the native client tlcient (it's a standalone application, it's not a browser version)

    • Servername:

      tl.math.uzh.ch
      • Be aware, the second character of the servername is a lowercase 'L'!
    • username / Password: as your I-MATH Account.
