Instead of starting Xterm you startkde or startx or startxfce4.
Whenever I try startkde, I get an error stating that KDE is already running. If I try startx, I a bunch of error messages.
Sometimes with the newer KDE you have to have your SSh Session start with a command something like this:
/usr/bin/xterm -ls &startkde
Other wise things go go sideways in newer kde installations. You can close that xterm after kde is up or minimize it.
Also, with ssh you get individual apps. Not the whole desktop as a unit independent of your local desktop. Another issue with ssh is that apps that use memory mapping of X do not work. This is common in some image applications. When shown in the desktop via vnc these apps run.
I guess you didn't read before replying.
I did. We are, I think, talking of two very different uses.
I'm telling you that you can have individual apps or you can have the whole desktop.
I think that if your local display is only running X and nothing else (e.g., KDE, ICE, whatever are NOT running locally), what you say is true. But that is not the same as running a full local desktop AND wanting to have a full remote desktop as well. Or perhaps a couple remote desktops. I do this all the time. Eacn remote is in a window on my desktop.
Don't make me post pictures..... ;-)
As for the memory mapping of X, name such an app that fails and I'll try to test it here.
Our own app. It is not expected to run remotely (it operates in a vehicle on the road) and so some image handling has been implemented with a few assumptions. Yuck, I agree. -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer@ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
