This document provides instructions for installing and configuring the Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop system, which includes installing and configuring:
1. A Session Manager, which is the main server and requires a LAMP stack.
2. An Application Server, where desktops and applications will run. This requires installing the ulteo-ovd-application-server package.
3. Configuring the Application Server in the Session Manager interface by registering the server and switching it to production mode. Redirection names can also be set.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

3. 3 SESSION MANAGER (SM.ULTEO.COM)
1 Prerequisites
A minimal Open Virtual Desktop infrastructure requires one Session Manager and one Application
Server.
• the Session Manager is a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) system and could be used in an
exising LAMP server.
• the Application Server is a server where the desktop and applications will be executed. It has to
be a Ulteo OVD dedicated server.
I MPORTANT
In this document, we are using sm.ulteo.com for the Session Manager and aps.ulteo.com
for Application Server.
You need to set that names according to your own domain names.
N OTE
It is possible to install both Application Server and Session Manager on the same machine.
The servers used by Ulteo OVD need to be installed with Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Server for
x86/32 bits (it can be downloaded from this link).
All operations need to be done as super user.
• To log in as root:
$ sudo -s
2 Installation of MySQL
If you don’t have any available MySQL database, you have to install MySQL on your Session Manager.
Install the mysql-server package:
# apt-get install mysql-server
A password for root will be asked.
3 Session Manager (sm.ulteo.com)
The Session Manager is the main server for your Ulteo Open Virtual Desktop infrastructure. It will manage
all your application servers through an administration web interface.
3.1 Installation
• Add the Ulteo repository to the repository list:
# echo "deb http://archive.ulteo.com/ulteo/ovd 2.5 main" >> /etc/apt/sources ←
.list
# apt-get update
2
4. 3 SESSION MANAGER (SM.ULTEO.COM) 3.1 Installation
N OTE
GPG errors given by the previous command will be fixed in the next installation steps. They
won’t prevent the installation to be successful.
• Install the keyring package to validate the repository using gpg:
# apt-get install ulteo-keyring
# apt-get update
• Install the ulteo-ovd-session-manager package:
# apt-get install ulteo-ovd-session-manager
• The installer asks for an admin login
3
5. 3 SESSION MANAGER (SM.ULTEO.COM) 3.1 Installation
• And a password:
• which has to be confirmed:
4
6. 3 SESSION MANAGER (SM.ULTEO.COM) 3.1 Installation
• Next question is about MySQL creation. Will aptitude create user and database for OVD on
MySQL ?
• Application servers are using an application system that will be the same for all your application
servers:
If you don’t have access to Internet, keep this field empty, we’ll see later how to install it by hand.
5
7. 3 SESSION MANAGER (SM.ULTEO.COM) 3.1 Installation
The server is now installed but not configured yet. You have to open http://sm.ulteo.com/
sessionmanager with a web browser.It should display this page:
3.1.1 Setup the application system archive
If you didn’t specify an URL at the last question, you have to copy an application system archive into
/usr/share/ulteo/sessionmanager/base.tar.gz.
For instance, you can download an archive from http://www.ulteo.com/main/downloads/
ulteo-ovd.php?suite=2.5 from another computer which have access to Internet and copy it on a
usb stick. Then, you have to copy it on the Session Manager at /usr/share/ulteo/sessionmanager/base.tar.gz
6
8. 3 SESSION MANAGER (SM.ULTEO.COM) 3.2 Configuration
3.2 Configuration
The first step is to go to http://sm.ulteo.com/sessionmanager/admin and autenticate yourself
with the login and password you provided during the installation.
For the first time you login, the system detect that is not well configured so you are redirected to a
basic setup page which will save a default configuration.
You have to set the MySQL configuration. For instance, if you install MySQL on the same host as
described previously, here is the configuration:
Then, you should be redirected to the main page:
7
9. 3 SESSION MANAGER (SM.ULTEO.COM) 3.2 Configuration
The session manager has no application server plugged yet. You now have to install one or more
Application Servers.
8
10. 4 APPLICATION SERVER INSTALLATION . . .
4 Application Server installation (aps.ulteo.com)
• If you haven’t done it yet for the Session Manager, add the Ulteo repositoriy to the Ubuntu repos-
itory list:
# echo "deb http://archive.ulteo.com/ulteo/ovd 2.5 main" >> /etc/apt/sources ←
.list
# apt-get update
• If you haven’t done it yet for the Session Manager, install the keyring package to validate the
repository using gpg:
# apt-get install ulteo-keyring
# apt-get update
N OTE
GPG errors given by the previous command will be fixed in the next installation steps. They
won’t prevent the installation to be successful.
• Install the package ulteo-ovd-application-server:
# apt-get install ulteo-ovd-application-server
• The first question is about the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) hostname of the machine
you are using as an Application Server. This FQDN is used by the Session Manager server to
manage Application Servers. If the FQDN is not defined well, this Application Server will never
register on the Main server. Here we are using aps.ulteo.com.
I MPORTANT
If you are going to install an Application server on the same machine as your Ses-
sion Manager, it’s adviced to use 127.0.0.1 as FQDN.
9
12. 4 APPLICATION SERVER INSTALLATION . . . 4.1 Configuration
• The next question is about the URL/path where the session manager can be accessed. Provide the
URL that was used previously (we use http://sm.ulteo.com/sessionmanager here for the
example, but of course, you have to set your own domain name).
I MPORTANT
If you are going to install an Application server on the same machine as your Ses-
sion Manager, it’s adviced to use http://127.0.0.1/sessionmanager as
URL.
The configuration is now done. The system is going to donwload and uncompress the application
system archive from the Session Manager your registered.
Once done, you just have to restart the service:
# /etc/init.d/ulteo-ovd restart
4.1 Configuration
4.1.1 Register the server
An Application server has been installed and is now ready. First, we have to register it, and switch it
from maintenance mode to production mode.
• Your server should appear in the Unregistered server page.
11
13. 4 APPLICATION SERVER INSTALLATION . . . 4.1 Configuration
If your server does not appear in the list, you might have a DNS configuration issue, please report
to the FAQ to solve this issue.
• If you want to use this server on your network, you have to click on register.
• Now, click on Switch to production to switch it to Production mode.
4.1.2 Set an redirection name
The server redirection name is an option. If all your machines are in the same network, you don’t have
to change it.
I MPORTANT
If you installed your Application server on the same machine as your Session Manager
and you follow our advices, you setup 127.0.0.1 as server name so you must define an
redirection name.
The redirection name is used to launch session. When you launch a session, you are redirected to
an Application server using the redirection name as redirection. In some cases the default redirection
name (the FQDN you gave at the ApS installation) is not valid. For instance, if you setup an private IP
address and you want to connect from Internet.
12
15. 5 PERFORM A "PUBLICATION"
5 Perform a "Publication"
A publication is an association between a users group and an applications group. It’s an authorization
for a users group to launch the applications include in the group.
By default, there is no users or applications group installed so you have to create it to launch sessions
(it’s not possible to launch session without application in the default configuration).
To simplify the process, you can use the Publication wizard by going on Applications page.
Go to the Publications page, select and follow the wizard steps.
