Fixed issue

The following issue is fixed in this release:

You cannot upgrade ThinLinux from version 2.0 to 2.1 on Wyse 3040 thin clients that are shipped from the factory with the incorrect

security key. Merlin imaging fails during upgrade due to the incorrect security key, and the following error message is displayed:

Error while validating security key.(error code 233).

To resolve this issue, you must install the preupgrade add-on that is delivered in this release.

Important notes

• If the security key is correct, installing the preupgrade add-on does not change the security key on your thin client.

• After you install the preupgrade add-on, and upgrade the ThinLinux version from 2.0 to 2.1, you do not have to install the preupgrade

add-on again when you reimage your client.

• To verify if the security key is updated, check the 3010-tl2.1-pre-upgrade-fix.XXXXXX/sec_patch.log file in the /tmp folder. If the

security key is successfully updated, the following log entry is registered:

Success: Key successfully changed on device. Device ready for upgrade

• Only plain text passwords are supported.

• The plain text password is displayed in the INI log.
