Hi @chanson,

We will have to see if we can reproduce this error. In the mean time, could you please provide the output of journalctl -xeu vsmserver.service?

Thinlinc installer does not support SUSE Tumbleweed change of file locations.
I did a PR on the ansible roles some time ago ( Fixed opensuse installation issuses by pewo · Pull Request #48 · cendio/ansible-role-thinlinc-server · GitHub ), but it was never merged.
It is a simple copy and you should be fine.

# cp /usr/lib/pam.d/sshd /etc/pam.d/sshd

# /opt/thinlinc/sbin/tl-setup

This works on openSUSE Tumbleweed VERSION=“20250522”

Thanks @pewo, yes I think you’re right. I’d forgotten about that.
