Juanje, What I want to do is run a Win2K based X server (my flavor is X-Win32) and connect to the Suse box using the XDMCP protocol on Query mode. So, I fire up X-Win32 select my linux session and I get the exact same GUI I would get as if I logged in directly on the linux box. Worked great when I did this with Redhat. Suse is giving me fits! The layout of X config files is *totally* different. Sigh ...

Hi, I don't know if I am undestanding well what you mean by "export" (Ignore this if it doesn't make sense) but if you want to control "Box A" from "Box B" you can use a remote desktop software such as VNC, with a Linux server version in BOX A and a Win2K or Java client version in BOX B. Have a nice day, Juanje. > -----Mensaje original----- > De: Douglass Turner [SMTP:dugla@excite.com] > Enviado el: jueves, 21 de noviembre de 2002 10:40 > Para: suse-kde(a)suse.com > Asunto: [suse-kde] How do I export X desktop to remote Win2K machine > ? > > > Hello, > > The situation: KDE on Suse running on box A.

How do I export X desktop to remote Win2K machine ?
by Douglass Turner 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

Hello, The situation: KDE on Suse running on box A. Win2K on box B running X-Win32. Both sit on the same LAN. I want to export the X-windows (KDE) desktop session from box A to box B. I've read numerous docs none of which describe the specifics of Suse. I had no problems doing this with a Redhat installation which is different enough from Suse to not be applicable. Could someone please provide me with detailed step by step instructions. I'm stumped. Thanks, Doug dugla(a)excite.com _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

weird kmail behaviour
by Eddie 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

I don't know if this happens to anyone else but I receive mail addressed to support for my department. When I hit reply to all only the sender's address appears in the "To" section. However, I noticed that if I hit reply to all on a message from the suse list both the sender and the suse addresses appear. There is one significant different between the two senarios and that is I use a different "identity" for my support mail. Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks Eddie

Two X and KDE sessions locally? Simultaneously?
by KMcLauchlan＠chrysalis-its.com 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

I've always had just the one machine, so everything I do is local, which means I usually have an X session running KDE for most of my work/play, and occasionally I switch to a console (usually because I broke something, but we won't go there, just now... :-) I have also logged in as multiple users simultaneously -- me with X and KDE, then root and a third account on consoles -- and switched among them with [Ctrl][F?] keys. I understand that I could have somebody connect from another machine to my SuSE box, and run another session (complete with X and K?) with their own login. My question: is it possible to have two complete LOCAL X and KDE sessions running for two users on one machine? My wife is GUI-only, and I want her to be able to login to her account on my machine when I'm not there, without her needing my password to shut down my login, first. In other words, while one is being displayed, the other sleeps, similar to the way multiple consoles can exist just a {Ctrl][F?] keystroke apart. Can this be done? Is there a HowTo? /kevin

Thanks. I had just asked Holger about that when he replied to me privately, so ... no response needed now. I never tried it with just that parameter. I've tied myself in knots attempting to use "startx" commands with parameter lists as long as your arm, and I was always getting additional error messages about "this or that missing" or something not compatible. Too simple. Thanks again. I'll try it as soon as I get a moment to boot Linux. /kevin

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know you could just do that, and not break a million things in the process (although at this point, it would not matter than much...) > I guess it could be one of > those MCOP or DCOP thingys too.

"You didn't tell us what you've already tried, so we think you are just sponging off the list without making any effort for yourself!" Sound familiar? So, I can't win, can I? :-) /kevin
