Thus i am thinking of switching from X11 to wayland on my server running xCFE and TW.
Not sure what the use of a display manager on a server is.
In the good ol' days, there was freenx and friends, but that appeared as way too filigree to supply a sustainable and robust multi seat remote desktop experience everywhere. In other words: No alternative to MS-RDS. Speaking of Wayland: I don't understand the farewell to X11 until at least one usable remote desktop solution is available. We (I) already suffer from "modern" solutions like sddm. Being the preferred DM for openSUSE but missing XDMCP support, it even renders the poor man's way to drive remote desktops (libvnc) nearly unusable (at least DM wise). [No to speak of OpenGL compositors..] The whole movement spits into the maps of MS and promotes sick solutions like Teamviewer. We are moving **away** from world domination on the desktop in huge steps. This mess is our share in the EU administration's ignorance in this respect.
---- If it was me, I want it to display remotely, not actually on the server which has poopy on-board graphics, but I use my server as my desktop's backend (disk, development, network, etc) so I like to keep a few server-status windows up and running up in the corner so if I'm working on a program and something seems slow I can glance up and see what's going on and see a bit of history on mem,cpu,disk and net usage.
Admittedly, the 2nd window is a tty window using curses+color, but it only shows current net+disk io + topio-progs.
As a reminder, gkrellm has a gkrellmd component. Cheers, Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
