Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-01 11:14:37 CEST
Starting a new ThinLinc session generally gets you this in the log:

> /opt/thinlinc/libexec/tl-run-xstartup.d: line 27: xsetroot: command not found

It's caused by this line:

> # Set a standard pointer instead of the default X
> xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

xsetroot is commonly not installed on modern systems. This line is also somewhat pointless as Xorg hasn't defaulted to the classical X cursor in ages.

We should probably just remove these lines.

Confirmed that the default cursor is a blank one, which should be good enough.
