No executable profiles what do I do

ThinLinc
1

I installed Thinlinc server on my Lubuntu 24.04 LTS system. When I tried to connect from the Windows client I got “Error: No executable profiles”. The content of /usr/share/xessions:

amonra@charon:/usr/share/xsessions$ ls -l
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  123 Apr 18  2024 Lubuntu.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2175 Apr  8  2024 lxqt.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  198 Apr  8  2024 openbox.desktop
amonra@charon:/usr/share/xsessions$

What should I do to allow me to connect please?

Hi @perdrix,

Welcome to the forum!

Probably the issue here is that none of your installed desktop environments have a default configuration for them in ThinLinc. If you check the file /opt/thinlinc/etc/conf.d/profiles.hconf, you’ll see which ones are available by default.

You can either install one of these DEs, or you can add a new stanza to profiles.hconf for whatever desktop environment you would like to use. My colleague @matre has written an article which might help with this here:

If you need any assistance though, just sing out.

I added this to profiles.hconf:

[/profiles/Lubuntu]
description_from_testcmd=false
testcmd=
cmdline=
screenshot=lubuntu-ss.png
icon=lubuntu.svg
xdg_session=Lubuntu lubuntu
description=Lubuntu
name=Lubuntu

About to test: It seems to work but icons are missing will open a new thread
