[Thinlinc-technical] problem with gnomedesktop

[Peter Åstrand]

Hi! The 3 lines you sent looks quite OK, I think. The first one basically 
tells you that the user is not found in the local account db, but then it 
moves on to Winbind (ie AD). Can you provide a few more lines of output?

Also, does it work on the console, ie have you verified that the problem 
only occurs in TL sessions?

There's a similar report here: 
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6103
But apparently that only happens when the network goes down.

Another thing to try is to disable SELinux. This can be done with 
"setenforce 0".

Btw, I assume that you really want to run a screensaver in the TL session? 
In that case, make sure you use a "blank" one, to avoid consuming CPU 
power in disconnected sessions. The typical recommendation however is to 
disable screensavers in thin sessions. Instead, you can configured 
ThinLinc to disconnect inactive sessions.


Best regards,
Peter
