https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268074 ------- Comment #2 from pcjc2@cam.ac.uk 2007-04-25 13:14 MST ------- The thin client setup I was looking to emulate is described at: http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/guadec-2005-remotely-useful/img38.html However thats not really describing how to do it. Its reproducable without fiddling with the GDM config. (I'm now reporoducing on my Ubuntu laptop as well) Trying to get this down as simple as possible:
From a gnome-terminal:
gdb --args Xvnc :1 SecurityTypes=None -ac -depth 24 (then run of course)
From another gnome-terminal:
Xdmx :2 -ac -display :1
From another gnome-terminal:
export DISPLAY=:2 metacity & gnome-terminal &
From yet another gnome-terminal:
vncviewer :1 You should now have a VNC viewer showing a basic X11 herringbone background, and a gnome-terminal, window manged by metacity. start typing on the gnome-terminal On my SuSE box, I was typing echo $DISPLAY, and it crashed nearly every time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
