Setting Up for Linux Desktops

Troubleshooting Copy and Paste between Remote
Desktop and Client Host
Copy and Paste between the remote desktop and client host takes more than three seconds for
maximum supported data of 1 MB. This issue does not occur if you copy and paste a small data size.
Problem
When you configure 1 vCPU and 1 GB memory for SLED 11 SP3/SP4 desktop, it might take more than
three seconds to copy and paste between the remote desktop and local client host.
Cause
The delay in copy and paste might occur due to the old operating system APIs of SLED 11 SP3/SP4.
Solution
u
Configure two vCPUs and 2 GB memory for SLED 11 SP3/SP4.
Configuring the Linux Firewall to Allow Incoming TCP
Connections
To allow users to connect to their Linux desktops, the desktops must be able to accept incoming TCP
connections from Horizon Client devices, security server, and View Connection Server.
On Ubuntu and Kylin distributions, the iptables firewall is configured by default with an input policy of
ACCEPT.
On RHEL and CentOS distributions, where possible, the Horizon Agent installer script configures the
iptables firewall with an input policy of ACCEPT.
Make sure that iptables on a RHEL or CentOS guest operating system has an input policy of ACCEPT
for new connections from the Blast port, 22443.
When the BSG is enabled, client connections are directed from a Horizon Client device through the BSG
on a security server or View Connection Server to the Linux desktop. When the BSG is not enabled,
connections are made directly from the Horizon Client device to the Linux desktop.
