Problem Logging In

Hello @Lorick

1. Make sure that the user you are trying to login as with ThinLinc is not already logged in locally on your Mint server. If it is, you’d have to logout that local graphical session first. Many modern Linux distributions does not work well with multiple sessions for same account.

Port forward has to be setup in your router/firewall and SSH tunnel needs to be created. This has been resolved in other posts on the community, please see

New user: what ports to open in router?

Hello @Crispin The port you need to open in your router to allow external connections to Thinlinc is port 22 (SSH). Regarding the message " Connection to server:“192.168.1.6” timed out.

Your client machine must have some way to directly make a connection to this address, and since it’s an internal address, we can…
