[ThinLinc-technical] ThinLinc 4.12.1 Beta

[Walter Rothfuss]

Linux Mint Mate works very well, we are presently running 20.1, the current release, on both the server and workstations.  Upgrades from earlier versions have been seamless.

Hello Pierre,

What is your recommended desktop for an Ubuntu workstation? We experienced crashes using the standard Ubuntu (KDE) desktop and switched to Xfce.

Thanks,

Stefan Posse

Hello Pierre,

I need help to diagnose a color display issue that I witnessed during the past days. I am using Thinlinc to login into a Ubuntu 16.04 Workstation using an Xfce desktop profile (the default Ubuntu desktop causes a crash of Thinlinc).

On that workstation I am running an application that has several submenues with color maps that are overlaid on gray scale images. I switched between submenues and noticed that several submenues showed gray scale images without the color overlay, which was reproducible. It turns out that this lack of color overlays on some of the submenues is apparently load dependent and more pronounced when other applications (e.g. MATLAB) are running.

However, when I sat in front of the workstation and ran the same application, the color maps were overlaid on the gray scale images for all the submenues, as expected.

Could you please suggest a strategy to resolve this issue? Perhaps use a different desktop profile?


I'm afraid it's not something I've heard of before, so I don't have any
suggestions for a fix. Ubuntu 16.04 is rather old though, so an upgrade
could be worth a try.

Regards
