Horizon 7.10 multi-session mode?

Hi there,

Any idea how to enable the (tech-preview) multi-session mode for Linux agent?

If I install the agent as unmanaged it will show under Horizon console as "Windows Server 2012 R2", and that allows me to create a farm and publish a desktop.

But then, when I try to connect, I only see a black screen.

I even tried to set singleton_mode to false with the same results.

Thanks

Hello.

did you manage to get this setup working? There is no documentation at all!

The "multi-session" bits are missing from the agent you can download.

I'm not sure there is a Linux "multi session" mode as I've seen. The only multi session mode is with published apps that was released with 7.7

Enable Multi-Session Mode for Published Applications

. The only other multisession mode I'm aware of is the os that  Windows Virtual Desktop | Microsoft Azure , that we may be able to use horizon with in the future. If you see a reference somewhere else please share as I'm not aware of it.

Linux "multi session" is Tech Preview.

Can you provide a link, its not this

Tech Preview: Windows Virtual Desktop Benefits with Horizon Cloud

this is only windows 10 desktops in the windows virtual desktop environment.. It only supports Linux as a client

•  Support for all Horizon clients, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Chrome and HTML Access.

I may have missed it if there is one, but I can't find a reference to Linux multisession mode anywhere.

Hi rjtd​,

I suggest you file a PR with logs attached, we'll have an investigation for that.
