I am the SysAdmin for a firm with both Windows (2000 Pro/XP Pro) and Linux (SuSE 9.0/SUSE 9.1) clients, and rely on VNC for supporting users located at different sites. The RealVNC 3.3.6 server for Windows is fantastic, but I would like the same functionality for the SUSE clients. I.E. I would like to be able to connect to the same session as the user from any point on the network. Can someone point me to a good howto for this?
In Client X_Windows GUI Start Button->Controll Center In the Control Center select: Internet & Network->Desktop Sharing, Use the options there to allow connections to the clients Desktop! Jerry On Thu, 2004-10-14 at 14:09, Henry Standing wrote:

1000 apologies. I am always looking for the overly complicated CLI routes! This is just what I needed. Thanks _ H (\o/) /_\ On Thu, 2004-10-14 at 13:27, Jerome R. Westrick wrote:

No problem... It's a feature of KDE.... Otherwise VNC's have a hard time exporting a real GUI (as running on a graphic card)... But KDE copied Windows remote desktop (or was it the other way around?) Jerry On Thu, 2004-10-14 at 14:49, Henry Standing wrote:

Well, sort of. Actually it's an integration of a hack called x0rfbserver that you'll find in the rfb package. That'll work on any desktop But you would do yourself a huge favour by looking at the NX stuff instead of plain VNC. The performance is just so much better. There are suse packages available that work nicely, although perhaps not so polished yet (required a little laying on of hands to get running when I installed it), but the performance is so good that it really is worth it. You get get the server and client packages for SuSE from the supplementary/X/NX directory, and there is a windows client available gratis on www.nomachine.com

Hmmm, what is the liscencing on the NX stuff... I watched NoMachine for years, they where allways the best, but too expensive for my tastes (well at least for my wallet 8-)... Jerry

LGPL, as far as I can see, on the linux stuff, the windows client I have no idea, I haven't looked at it myself but it was a gratis download

gratis? You must have a pretty small wallet :) There seem to be some sort of server for sale on the nomachine.com, but I'm not altogether sure what it does. The free stuff available for download seem to do everything. I can't find a good description of the difference between the commercial and the GPL product on the web site, but then I haven't looked very much either. The GPL stuff does all I need it for

So many bits to NX, I wonder if there is a minimum you can get away with using. I downloaded nxcomp-1.3.2-4.tar.gz, nxcompext-1.3.2-6.tar.gz, nxrun-1.3.2-1.tar.gz and nx-X11-1.3.2-9.tar.gz, so far I haven't got back to it. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....

Everything you need is in supplementary/X/NX on the suse ftp site or your favourite mirror, along with instructions on how to set it up

Thanks, I followed the URL from an article and came up with a bewildering list of packages. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
