The new partnership between Technologic Systems, Inc. and Canonical has resulted in the delivery of open-source and free Ubuntu Snappy Core 16 operating system on the TS-4900 high-performance Computer on Module (CoM), thus paving the way for other companies to integrate it into their devices.

The TS-4900 Compute Module which is based on NXP i.MX6 CPU is produced by Technologic Systems, Inc. for using it on embedded systems applications such as industrial IoT (Internet of Things) gateways. As Ubuntu Core is known for its rich networking and protocol support, it is considered ideal for the TS-4900 module. Also, it is easy to update and maintain the IoT devices with Ubuntu Core.

" With the functionality of our TS-4900 and the flexibility of Ubuntu Core, I can see these powering virtually anything from industrial IoT gateways, plant automation, network equipment, high definition digital signage, to remote monitoring stations," said Bob Miller, founder of Technologic Systems, Inc.

TS-4900 is a fanless device that can be bought in either single or quad-core variants with up to 2 GB DDR3 RAM, onboard Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, as well as support for Gigabit Ethernet, USB, SATA II, and PCIe Express ports. It has been rated at an industrial temperature range between -40 oC and 85 oC.

Question Problem with X2go and permissions/administrator actions

Hi,

I' ve got a problem with Ubuntu Server and remote access (using x2go at the moment), any help would be much appreciated:I do need a GUI on top of the server because my deputy/the second admin is a windows guy and would be completely lost without a GUI (I know much more about Linux than him but I' m also not an real expert yet). Security is not really a problem here (the server will be in a physically separated/offline LAN later).

The server has to be accessible remote from different PCs (Linux & Windows) and so I first tried xrdp, but it had some issues (error message after every login, small graphical glitches and most important: A permissions problem when I tried to do administrative actions via GUI (no password box appeared as it does when logged in locally, just an error message that tells me I don' t have the permissions to continue).

Please help.

I didn' t find the right solution from the Internet.
