[Solved] LM Free on Mac broken - can't connect to login screen - help!!

[entropy1980]

Another thing of note... I run mine (MacMini) headless  as a server in a closet, I notice Safari, Chrome and FireFox all have issues and lock up  in addition to the LMI issues. However if I plug in a monitor then all the issues go away and it functions fine. Very strange!

I too have a mac mini server running headless. I also can't then access through screen sharing from another mac.

Only option is to reboot. This has been happening for over a month now, I would say.

I, too, am anxiously awaiting a resolution to this issue.  I have removed and reinstalled LogMeIn, but still am unable to access my Mac from another LogMeIn client.  Interestingly, I *can* access other computers from my Mac, but not the reverse.  Basically, my user name and password gets rejected each time, even though it is assuredly correct.

This is still happening, 3 months since the first reports! Shocking!!

I've been using a work around with SSH that helps. Once you get knocked back into that login screen and you can't connect, paste this script into an SSH client (Secure Shell client on Windows or terminal on a mac)

osascript <<EndOfMyScript
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "Chu"
delay 5.0
keystroke return
delay 5.0
keystroke "password"
keystroke return
delay 1.0
keystroke return
end tell
EndOfMyScript

My first keystroke says "Chu" because my login name on that mac is Chuck, so replace it with the first 3 letters of your user name (assuming you use the welcome screen type login).

Obviously you have to have SSH preconfigured on the remote mac and you have to establish the connection first. Run the script as root!!

i am getting the same issues connecting to my MAC, i can actually connect but connection only lasts for a short period of time and it will then kick me off and connection is lost

very frustrating!

Also realized if you go to logmein preferences>general and uncheck all the boxes under "locking the host computer" you can reconnect after a disconnect.

This is still a major issue!

We have the same issues on two headless mac mini servers. It tends to either show blank screen (Solution: restart logmein) or it shows it as disconnected. Only fix is to reboot the server.
