Wish I had found that before taking the time to troubleshoot why I was getting a black screen when connecting to a Fedora client.
What are you talking about? I have no problems connecting to my desk.
If I attempted to connect to my Fedora VM via ScreenConnect, all I saw was a black screen, rather than the desktop. My own troubleshooting found entries in the ScreenConnect log griping about Java. Found the earlier article, installed OpenJDK JRE and the problem was solved.
If the Screeensaver / lock screen is active, jsut type your password and hit enter and it will log you in

In fall back to Windows mode,.. not really a problem just time issues... I need to have three browsers.. Google Chrome isn't in the stock repo it seems (because it couldn't find it) and i would need to add. It's not a problem just a delay.
No, not in the repo because it is not open source, so can't be in the repo. Chromium, Google's open source version of Chrome, IS in the repos. Installing Chrome on Fedora is trivially easy, though, Google has all the info right on the site. You just do this..
Literally easier than on Windows... and Windows doesn't have it in a repo either. So the logic here doesn't hold up.

They locked the thread, presumably to squash any further discussion.

I have most of the house on UPS units... I think in total there are 10 units...Three sit on or next to my NTG Desk.
We had all that wind yesterday.. but no power issues.

I have no trouble living where Mother Nature will exercise her wrath.. but I very much want a house be build so it will handle it. Stick built homes just can't

Other than that,.. Fedora was working decently for the tasks I do - the next step was to look into Powershell - which I know works in Fedora,.. I just hadn't gotten to...
Chromium is generally what is in the repositories, not the standard Chrome. If you want the real thing, you have to actually download an installer.

What was killing my efforts seemed to have resolved after reboot. I don't recall the error really but there was something about something being locked..
I need three browsers and will also need IE for O365 things from time to time.

IE used to run under Wine.
