ScreenConnect Unable to Start on Fedora 33
-
oh boy, I've not tried that version yet. That might take some research.

@scottalanmiller Probably not worth the effort at this point. Everything else on the system is working and since Screenconnect for linux is EOL, I need to move away from it. Someone else (on reddit) suggested migrating to a Windows install temporarily to help migrate the clients to whatever is next; they at least have a guide for that on the website, seems like it should be easy. Gonna have to install MeshCentral and give it a go I think. I looked like about the only low cost (free in this instance) self hosted multiple client option I could find.

TacticalRMM includes a MeshCentral instance. You can use the MeshCentral instance as a standalone if you want. I'm using TacticalRMM for a bunch of personal stuff, and I've not had an issue with it yet.

Fixing Linux is likely easier than the Windows install, but yes. We were in the same boat for SO many reasons, we dumped it and thank goodness, since they were hacked (for the very reasons we dumped them - no support, no idea how to write code, no patching, no updates.) They were a good product in the past but went hard core downhill and since about four years ago I would not trust them to be installed on my equipment. I don't trust the work of their developers, their code decisions that we can see have long been questionable at best and quickly became outright pathetically unqualified. For a system that is so key to security, I'd never qualify it as deployable today. I'd move off as quickly as you can.
Given that vastly better quality, more professionally approached software is free today, I see no value to this stuff and its ilk. And certainly nothing from ConnectWise will ever be allowed in our shop again.

We replaced ScreenConnect with MeshCentral and years ago the transition was rough, but today MC is beyond parity and by far the leader rather than the follower. More features, way better everything. We added Tactical later, but if you are deploying new today, yeah, start with Tactical and get both for free right from the beginning.

being stuck in the browser still sucks compared to the stand alone window of SC.

I think it's better. Faster and more efficient. Fewer problems. More standard across platforms. No need for Java. The SC Java client was the worst and so many support issues.
That said, I'm not stuck in the browser on MC. I just choose it because its superior. You can use an RDP client if you want for Windows users.

I've read that - I need to figure how how that works.

We have some customers using them, but we don't use them internally AFAIK.
