There are a few things that you can check: * Assuming you are connecting via SSH (you didn't mention above, you just said Linux?), set the "server-alive-interval" (Server keepliave interval) parameter in your SSH connection, which will enable TCP keepalives to be sent between guacd and the SSH server, and may help prevent network-related timeouts from shutting down your SSH connection. * Check the configuration of the remote SSH server to see if it is enforcing any idle limits on the remote sessions. -Nick
