I have set up vnc on some of my servers but I'm faced with a few conundrums.
First, if I run
# systemctl isolate multi-user.target
it goes away. But if I use "ssh -X" to the server I can run the X/GTK GUI tools.
Secondly all the ways I've found to set up a vcnserver start it ip as a singleton. I cant see how to treat it like I do other network services and have it started from XinetD and have it (a) run on demand and (b) run more than once. Call it "multi-seat" if you will. Since it uses, or can use, a software framebuffer (eating memory) then why not? It sounds better than the way Citrix/Cisco do Windows VDIs.
You DO NOT need X running on the remote servers to start their GUI programs, you only need to install the needed programs/libraries. ssh -X should be enough. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
