The client works without problem if I choose Xfce, but fails when trying both Gnome or Gnome classics (“Oh no Something has gone wrong!”).
Find no hints in neither vsmagent.log nor vsmserver.log. In xinit.log there are warnings like “X11 cannot support keycodes above 255.” but it is also stated that this is not fatal.
Any hints would be appreciated!

Hello @klegg1, and welcome to the forum!
Sorry to hear that you’re experiencing problems. Would you mind sharing the session log file when you’re trying to launch a GNOME session? The session log file is found in
/var/opt/thinlinc/sessions//last/xinit.log
Kind regards,
Martin
Hello, and thanks for looking into this!
Maybe not related, but regarding Xfce (on which the client works) I could only get hardware support if I used lightdm instead of gdm.
Thanks again!
/jon
(Attachment xinit.log is missing)
A Display Manager, such as lightdm / gdm is not relevant in ThinLinc, since these are not used for launching ThinLinc sessions. ThinLinc doesn’t use the display manager of the system, so changes it to it will not affect ThinLinc.
I think you forgot the attachment?
Kind regards,
Martin
Hi, attach failed. Try pasting below instead.

Quick question, do you have a local gnome session started on the server for this same user account?
Regards,
Martin
No, should be nothing running there (have tried doing “pkill -u user” on the server before connecting).
When connecting the desktop becomes visible, but as soon as I try anything on it it crashes out.
/jon
Ok. Nothing obvious in the session log, though. ThinLinc seems to be running fine, but something makes GNOME misbehave. Did you find anything in the journal log that could indicate what’s up with GNOME?
Regards,
MArtin
One thing stands out (it’s in red):
“Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription.desktop”
Thanks!
/jon
Seems to be working if I update
“/etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription.desktop”
to:
"
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=GNOME subscription management
Exec=/usr/libexec/gsd-subman
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
NoDisplay=true
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Initialization
X-GNOME-Autostart-Notify=true
X-GNOME-AutoRestart=false
X-GNOME-HiddenUnderSystemd=true
"
No idea why…
Thanks again!
/jon
Odd that a single autostart entry would cause a complete loss. What changes did you make to org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Subscription.desktop?
Regards,
Martin
I removed the line:
“X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false”
and changed from “false” to “true” in the line:
“X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true”
(without knowing what I was doing…).
