Turning Ubuntu 18 into kiosk mode for VDI

Turning Ubuntu 18 into kiosk mode for VDI

The user experience is one of the most valued aspects for IT Departments when it comes to choosing a desktop virtualization solution. Employees must be comfortable with the tools they use to develop their professional activity, since the easier they are to use, the greater their productivity.

Thinking precisely about simplifying the work of users, the UDS Enterprise team has developed a script to convert an Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop operating system into a Linux connection client in kiosk mode. With this new configuration, when booting the computer, the first thing that will be displayed to the users will be a web browser with the UDS Enterprise login window. They will only have to enter their username and password to directly access their virtual desktops and applications managed by this connection broker.

To these mentioned above, one more option is added: providing users a personalized view of their services dashboard. UDS Enterprise allows you to display all the virtual desktops and applications users have access to in a single screen or to group them in different tabs to which you can assign a personalized image and name.
