Hi,
This is the setup...
VMware Horizon View 6.2.2 build-3508079
VMware View Client: 3.4.0
Linux Desktop OS: CentOS 6.7 64-bit
Scenario
Linux desktops are configured to mount an NFS dastore upon boot.
NFS Server configuration
- CentoOS 6.7
- Joined to the domain using Centrify
- /etc/exports/
profiles 10.64.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check,fsid=10)
- NFS folder: /profiles (permissions 755)
NFS Client configuration (Linux Desktops)
- CentOS 6.7
- Joined to the domain using Centrify
- Mount Point: /profiles (permissions 700)
- After mounting: /profiles (permissions read 755 nobody nobody)
- /ets/fstab
10.64.0.8:/profiles /profiles nfs defaults,_netdev 0 0
Centrify
I am using Centrify to join systems to the domain. I configured the Centrify agent to use the NFS mount (/profiles) for all AD user home directories.
Whenever I log in, I am am able to create a home directory on the NFS mount fine. I can save files, change desktop settings and upon future logins, I am able to retain
the user experience. I don't see any problems reading/writing files under the user's context. I notice that the speaker icon in the top corner will not appear. I go to
System --> Preferences --> Sound, and I get a window saying "Waiting for sound system to respond." This is what I see in /var/log/message:
Sep 2 14:53:29 lnx-01 pulseaudio[12578]: core-util.c: Home directory /profiles/User1 not ours.
Sep 2 14:53:29 lnx-01 pulseaudio[12578]: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.
Sep 2 14:53:29 lnx-01 pulseaudio[12578]: main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock
Sep 2 14:53:32 lnx-01 pulseaudio[12643]: core-util.c: Home directory /profiles/User1 not ours.
Sep 2 14:53:32 lnx-01 pulseaudio[12643]: lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.
Sep 2 14:53:32 lnx-01 pulseaudio[12643]: main.c: Failed to acquire autospawn lock
When I log in with a LOCAL or AD account configured to use the local /home directory that lives on the local disk, I am able to see the
sound icon in the top right corner, and sound works fine. I do not see the "pulseaudio" entries as I do when logging in with a user that
has their home directory on the NFS mount. This sound issue only exists when users' home directories are located on the NFS mount.
