Obt-Message: XRandR extension is not present on the server Obt-Message: Xinerama extension is not present on the server Obt-Message: XKB extension is not present on the server or too old Yea I'll look into the wayland stuff, but it sounds like your keen on NX, and while the free version of nomachine doesn't support ssh, but I don't really need it for what I'm doing, there's no security issue here.Īnyway though, if I should still go the VNC route, here's what happened when I installed openbox and replaced startxfce & with openbox & - the results were the same gray screen and X cursor. Oh and I'd need to be able to copy and paste text between the two screens, is that doable in NX stuff like nomachine? I wouldn't even need file transfer because I'll have samba running. This is just a temporary step in the process of setting up the new pc. What I want is just to see and use the desktop like I could in vnc. POP is like the "snapchat" of email protocols haha.)

(btw I use Thunderbird too, for like 17 years, before that it was Eudora. ![]() Should I just switch to something like NoMachine? I mean I'm not married to using VNC, I'll take whatever works, that's "NX-based" right, and there's a free version.īut anyway as for X11, well I don't really need to run foreign apps locally (although that's pretty cool) just a view of the desktop. Xresources it looks like it's just a #incude type of thing unnecessary. Oh! wait on the old post right- I said I was doing ok with x2go boy did that ever fail. ssh and x2go set the display correctly, automatically.īack when I used VNC, before finding NX-based solutions, I never setup a ~/.Xresources file for it. That applies to local, remote, VNC, x2go ssh, methods of running programs. Xresources file? I didn't even have one so I touched an empty one. Can you (or anyone) paste me the guts of your. Honestly I think I need something in that. Did you forget to allocate a size? (node box owner ViewAutoDrawer) (vinagre:16412): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:13:04.813: Drawing a gadget with negative dimensions. I have an update: I noticed that when I mouse around on the gray screen my terminal floods: ssh handles setting the DISPLAY correctly.Um ok how do I know if Wayland or X11 is installed? from the CLI if I type wayl tab I get It is 100% F/LOSS, uses ssh for tunneling and encryption of all traffic. If you aren't tied to VNC, there are more secure and faster solutions, like x2go. Is X11 or Wayland installed? I suspect that VNC only works with X11, but I don't know, as I don't use VNC. ![]() ![]() Have you tried running a WM, window manager, not the full XFCE DE?

SEE: Server deployment/migration checklist (Tech Pro Research) Update/upgradeīefore we take on this task, the first thing you’ll want to do is update and upgrade your server. Because the server kernel could get upgrades, it is best to run this process when a reboot is possible. Also, after the desktop GUI installs, you’ll need to reboot the server anyway.
