Description Martin Östlund cendio 2023-12-12 15:28:01 CET 
With ThinLinc 4.15.0, it's no longer possible to create a session if the system hostname is not resolvable.

To reproduce:

> $ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname lab-xyz
When trying to connect with ThinLinc client, it reports "No agent server was available"

xinit.log:

> xauth:  file /var/opt/thinlinc/sessions/cendio/10/Xauthority does not exist
> xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "lab-xyz:10" in "add" command
> tl-xinit: xauth exited with failure code 1

With ThinLinc 4.14.0, the session gets created and works fine. Still, the same messages can be observed in the session log:

> xauth:  file /var/opt/thinlinc/sessions/cendio/10/Xauthority does not exist
> xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "lab-xyz:10" in "add" command
> xauth:  file /var/opt/thinlinc/sessions/cendio/10/Xauthority does not exist
> tl-xinit: Waiting for Xserver to accept connections...
> Xvnc ThinLinc release 4.14.0 build 2408 - built Jan 26 2022 10:15:02
