[ThinLinc-technical] ThinLinc 4.12.1 Beta

[Fischer, Kasper]

Hi Stefan,

the working group seismology at the Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany) is using a server with Debian 10 (buster) with the standard Gnome (version 3) desktop without problems. Other desktops are also working fine. Using ThinLinc really helped us to transit from working in the office to working at home, but we have started sometimes back in 2016.

The clients (version 4.12.1 and older) are installed on Igel thinclients and PC’s running Windows 10, macOS or various Linux. We never had any issues similar to what you experience. The desktop’s screen size nicely rescales when changing the client’s screen or window size. Switching a running session from one client to an other clients with different screen size works flawlessly.

Maybe your screen size problem is related to this bug: https://www.cendio.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5791#c4 if your client runs in Windows 10. If you have a very large screen you can try to start a session in a window with one of the predefined screen sizes found in the ThinLinc-Client options. On my iMac 27’' I use 2048x1152. If your server’s desktop doesn’t match you should at least get scrollbars to reach the desktops menus. I also activated the option to resize the remote session to the local window size.

Gnome3 definitively benefits from 3D graphics acceleration, but it also runs on 2D graphics hardware.

Cheers,

Kasper

I tested GNOME and Ubuntu Desktop, but I can see only a central section of the desktop and none of the menus are available. I played with the display settings in the client, but could not resolve this issue. Do you have a suggestion how to fix this?

Thanks,

Stefan Posse

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

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
