Hi there!
Just a short question:
I have two Linux boxes in my network - one Mandrake 10.1 and one Mandriva
2009.0.
So I can make a ssh connection from the Mandriva box over the LAN to the
Mandrake machine, there start an application - let's say "KSnake" - and
get the output on the Mandriva box. Nothing special. Yes. But:
Is there any trick to get the _whole_ (KDE 3.2) desktop of Mandrake 10.1
onto the Mandriva one, so one could start applications via start menue
rather than typing their path/name by memory?
I searched a lot, but nothing worked.
Best regards,
Markus

Hi Dave,
many thanks!
I tried this, but I get a "Fatal server error", and, when I use the
ampersand before the "sleep 2" in the last line as shown above, then I
cannot enter the password fast enough. In this case I get "Permission
denied".
When modifying the line, i.e. without "&", then there also occurs a "Fatal
server error. Server is already running for disply 1", followed by "unable
to open display 'localhost:10.0", "kded: cannot connect to X server
localhost:10.0".
Does the X server on the controlled box have to be running? Usually I run
the Manrdake box, which I want to control, in RL 3 / text mode.
Best regards,
Markus

VNC can work over SSH. I can SSH into my home machine, then start VNC
server (on the remote machine) with localhost::5972 and a new KDE
session starts with a login screen. That was disappointing for me, as I
wanted to be able to see what was happening on the desktop in my living
room (I sometimes get "it's not working" phone calls) but it's handy
nonetheless. Also, the SSH login username is not the same as the
username I give to KDE, which means my KDE username and password are
encrusted by SSH before going over the internet.
VNC may be faster than SSH X forwarding, because it seems to do some
compression of the screen images.

Dear Dave,
You might want to look into Freenx. It performs well, uses ssh.
Good luck,
G.C. |
