[Thinlinc-technical] Errors logging in

[John P Arends]

I have a test machine on which I've been playing with ThinLinc 4.0. I upgraded it to 4.1 today, and it seemed to work fine. After a reboot, whenever I attempt to log in, I get this error:

Server name "<my server>" is not resolvable. Check your settings

The problem is, the server is resolvable. Best as I can tell ThinLinc is running. If I deliberately put in an incorrect password, I get an error that the password is incorrect, but if I use a known good password, I get the DNS error.

My guess is that something else is going on here, and the error message that is coming up is not the right error message.

The following gets added to vsmserver.log when I do this:

2013-07-02 13:59:56 INFO vsmserver.session: User with uid 500 requested a reconnection to 127.0.0.1:1
2013-07-02 13:59:56 INFO vsmserver: Verifying that agent 127.0.0.1 running existing session for john is alive
2013-07-02 13:59:56 INFO vsmserver: Verifying session 127.0.0.1:1 for john
2013-07-02 13:59:56 INFO vsmserver: Existing session for john is alive

Any ideas?
