BUDGIE DE - Connection lasts less than 10 seconds

ThinLinc
1

Hi,

Someone has success with BUDGIE DE ?

I have Ubuntu Budgie 24.04 and try connect with ThinLinc.

Installed server, running ok.

Created profile budgie calling budgie-desktop XDG.

When connect, auto disconnect with “Connection lasts less than 10 seconds”…

My xinit.log:

xauth: file /var/opt/thinlinc/sessions/bruno/10/Xauthority does not exist
tl-xinit: Waiting for Xserver to accept connections…

do you get any more clues by tailing the systemd journal while trying to establish the session?

Maybe, something with Budgie session. Opened issue on Budgie forum, but…

5

Hi @brunok, welcome to the forum.

I’ve never tried Budgie myself, but does it help if you call budgie-session from the ThinLinc profile, rather than budgie-desktop?

6

Tried with budgie-session, but receive profile not found.

7

See that tlwebadm service is not running…

tlwebadm.service: Can’t open PID file /run/tlwebadm.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory
tlwebadm.service: Failed with result ‘protocol’.

Create pid file can’t solve, but, i use gui client and not web.

8

Could you post your Budgie profile stanza from /opt/thinlinc/etc/conf.d/profiles.hconf please?

9

Copy from “terminal profile”…

[/profiles]

The default profile. Must be present in the “order” parameter.
default=budgie

The order the profiles will be presented in. Only profiles that exist in
this parameter will be presented as alternatives. This is a space-separated
list.

Okay. So what happens if you get rid of the xdg_session line, and set the cmdline parameter to budgie-session instead?

11

This method found profile, but hangs without show screen… “less than 10 seconds” again…

I think this is some issues with virtualbox. But i want try first, before apply in my workstation.

It looks like Budgie is trying to figure out if your remote session should be accelerated or not (it shouldn’t).

Are you logged in anywhere else on this machine as the bruno user? If so, try logging out before connecting with ThinLinc (or even better, create a new user which will only be used via ThinLinc).

13

Its work if my user does not make login.
Work with another user too.

Profile that WORK:

[/profiles]

The default profile. Must be present in the “order” parameter.
default=budgie

The order the profiles will be presented in. Only profiles that exist in
this parameter will be presented as alternatives. This is a space-separated
list.
order=budgie unity ubuntu gnome gnome-classic kde xfce cinnamon mate lxde
