Using TL to connect to the "console" of the TL-server running host

Hi there,

I’ve successfully deployed TL-server, everything works fine, web access, TL-client connections etc… all good. My only concern is that I’ve been looking for a solution that would connect to the actual opened session locally on the host. Like locking my session from my workplace host and TL’in in from a remote location… Though according to my testings, TL deal’s with TL based “sessions” and not the actual “console” opened session, correct?

Let me know,
Thanks a lot,
M.

Hello @mokaz, and welcome!

Correct, ThinLinc does not connect to any local running sessions on the server, but instead ships with its own X server (Xvnc) and creates virtual sessions.

Kind regards,
Martin

Thanks a lot for your time Martin. I guess there is no ways to alter that fact?
TL is wonderful, I’ve got to say !! Just a shame for me i cannot hook on the local sessions.

Cheers,

No problem.

No, not with ThinLinc by itself. You could, of course, setup and configure a local running VNC server that provides access to the local session, and from within the ThinLinc session use a vncviewer to access it.

Kind regards,
Martin
