Blank screen on sever after disconnect

I am current running Thinlinc server on Linux Mint 20 using the mate desktop. I just installed on Nov 23, 2024. I also installed the Thinlinc client on the same data on a Windows 11 Home laptop. I can connect from Windows 11 to the server with no issues if I am logged out from my Linux computer. The issue occurs, when I disconnect my session from Windows 11, if I login on my Linux computer I get a black screen and I can’t do anything.

I saw some mention about setting .sessions file but it did not work My Thinlinc setup uses all the default options

What am I missing?

Than you for all the help

Hi @jissa,

Welcome to the forum. The issue you’re experiencing is probably due to modern desktop environments not handling multiple sessions as the same user very well. This can manifest itself in different ways, including a blank screen. See:

One option might be to use different user accounts for logging in remotely and locally on the server. Hope that helps.
