Concerto Client Problem

[Jeff Hollingsworth]

I am using a stock ubuntu (11.10) with Chrome (16.0.912.77) for a couple
of signs (needed updated video drivers vs. the standalone client images).

One of them has developed a frustrating property of hanging about 30-60
minutes after startup. Everything looks fine except Chrome stops
re-fetching content from the Concerto server. Killing and restarting
chrome seems to get things working again. Running gdb on chrome looks
like all threads are blocked waiting on various things.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks,

Jeff

We have Atom-based signage running Firefox on Windows; Firefox used to do the same thing until a tech applied the last round of updates to the clients. Not sure about the details but I will solicit them again.

We're having this issue as well with ubuntu 10.04 and firefox and chrome.  It looks like jquery.js is freezing.

Jeff - Do you have any pointers on setting up a client using Ubuntu?  I'm looking for guidance on things like autologin, starting X, starting Chrome, etc...  We have a bunch of old PC's that I'm using and want the boxes to book right from the HDD.   I already have Ubuntu Server install on a test client.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Greg

It took me a bit of time to recall what I did, but I have put together a
short tutorial on how to turn an out of the box Ubuntu 11.10 install
into something that will boot into a concerto client.

It's at:

http://www.rruuc.org/static/signs/

I have not re-tested it from a fresh install, so please let me know if
there are problems. If people find this useful I should be able to turn
it into a Debian package so that it will install itself.

I'm running into the same problem.  Chrome on Ubuntu Desktop 11.10.  Occasional hangs.  Anyone find a solution?

Thanks,

Greg
