[Murugappan Periyakaruppan]

I am using version LinuxVDA-1903.ubuntu16.04

Fresh ubuntu 16.04 install.
No issues registering with the controller.
Installed Xorg etc
VDA.log shows

The Citrix Desktop Service detected that a user session has ended. Session 'xxxx' for user 'username' has ended; reason code 'Logoff'.

 

This has been driving me crazy for the past 3 days. Tried all workarounds..Help needed

I did install the correct version of Xorg. But no luck

I have seen grey screen issues with Ubuntu 16.04 later versions.

What happens if you try the 16.04.1?

My my experience, most of these types of desktop disappearing issues can be contributed to the users .cshrc or .bashrc other .dot files having something incorrectly set. Moving them temporarily to a backup folder to try to get a successfully VDI desktop, then copy them back one by one is a good way to debug.

Typical culprits of VDI not being able to get a session that i have seen are:

 

.cshrc

.bashrc

.bash_profile

.bash_login

.profile

.login
 

I've seen this in some users home directory in the .bashrc or .cshrc . Commenting out these two lines seemed to work for them.

 

.bashrc

# No autologout

#set autologout=0

 

# Autocomplete

#set autolist
