Hello,
I’m running a couple of ThinLinc clusters, one old and one new. I’m not very familiar with ThinLinc so I’m just trying to keep the old one going while moving everything to the new one.
My old cluster has one machine in the subcluster that refuses to give a useable session. I compared the configs via tl-config -Ra / and the two configs are near identical except for hostnames.
The vsmagent and tlwebaccess services are running. Both servers are running ancient Debian with the same kernel versions.
Here is the /var/log/vsmagent.log with DEBUG2 set:
tl-session: tl-xinit exited with status=1
2024-05-22 09:57:40 INFO vsmagent: Got SIGTERM, signaling process to quit
2024-05-22 09:57:40 INFO vsmagent: Terminating. Have a nice day!
2024-05-22 09:57:42 INFO vsmagent: VSM Agent version 4.11.0 build 6323 started
2024-05-22 09:57:42 INFO vsmagent: My public hostname is badhost.domain.name
tl-session: tl-xinit exited with status=1
The vsmserver.log on the ThinLinc server shows:

Didn’t see anything I could make much sense of in /var/log/syslog or dmesg.
I’ve attempted reboots and multiple accounts. I’ve even tried rerunning tl-setup, for laughs.
Where should I look next?
