 xpra - remote XI'm trying xpra, intending a new antiX as the client and a new Ubuntu as the server. I believe the "testing" version on antiiX is not compatible with the "stable" version of Ubuntu. My question how best to install either the "stable" version on antiX or the "testing" version on Ubuntu? That is, how to avoid screwing up my /etc/apt/sources.list on either box?
A related question: A few releases back, Ubuntu started making it difficult to get XDMCP working. Before that, XDMCP was very straightforward under Ubuntu. Does Mepis currently support easy XDMCP? |

Re: xpra - remote X It's not too difficult. However It is turned off by default in /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc
At the end of that file you'll find:
Because dbus is used to start KDE4 applications, when running them over ssh -X or ssh -Y this tim@musicbox:~$ dolphin won't work. you need to use tim@musicbox:~$ dbus-launch dolphin instead. _________________ XFX Nforce 750 (built in GeForce 8300), Athlon X2 5000 Lenovo G550 , Intel T4400 , Intel Mobile 4 graphics |

Re: xpra - remote X
I believe antiX has the option to either use Stable or Testing. Just make the choice. Enable the correct repositories. And you're good to go. _________________ "There is no "slippery slope" toward loss of liberties, only a long staircase where each step downward must first be tolerated by the American people and their leaders."

Re: xpra - remote X I was hoping to find an easy way to load a package or two from non-repository sources. But, I ended up editing my /etc/apt/sources.list on antiX as suggested. That went well except that xpra is not in stable. I guess I will just wait for more development of xpra.
With a good report on XDMCP, I was preparing to set up a Mepis X server box. Then, I found all current Mepis ISOs are larger than CD. Didn't find any mention of Mepis netinstalls and I don't want to install DVD drives. Right now, I'm looking at a straight Debian netinstall. Thanks for the responses! |
