A few F12 Qs after installing

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I've just popped F12 onto a spare machine, intending it to replace the FC4 server I have running at the moment, however I'm struck by a few differences. 1- it's lovely, I'm much prefering it and even on fairly modest hardware (athlon XP 2500+ and 1 gig of ram) it's running really quickly. but... 2- What happened to the services listing/GUI? What's it been replaced with that I can't see? I'm back to commandline for now with chkconfig? 3- And how come some of my packages seem to do sweet FA when installed? I dropped in X11VNC and a couple of others (lm_sensor, ksensor) and while Ive not set up lm_sensors yet, X11VNC doesn't seem to do ANYTHING when executed (no PID that seems to correlate) and no errors given. Comments... 4- Yum (add/remove software) now seems to work well. I like it, especially the terminal-automated installing of packages, wonderful. 5- Installation of the nvidia drivers was a breeze, desktop effects work a charm and smoothly on a lowly machine. 6- My 2500+ that runs at 45/50C in XP sits at 35 in F12 heavily loaded. Whatever is being done, it's doing it right! Any help/comments appreciated, I'd like to get to know this one a bit better. (HowTos)

2. Set vnc password and it’ll be encrypted and saved in ~/.vnc/passwd: x11vnc -storepasswd

Hi,

I have tried and failed to create a systemd script/unit to start up x11vnc server.

I'm running FC17 with XFCE and I can share my desktop nicely by starting with a command like:

Code: /usr/bin/x11vnc -forever -avahi -rfbport 5900 -rfbauth ~/.vnc/x11vnc.pass -o ~/.vnc/x11vnc.log -loopbg -display :0 What I can't figure out is how to create a systemd script that will run this comman

Hi guys,having problem with x11vnc autostart after login.My Crunchbang is on Windows 2008 Hyper-V server.

x11vnc window manager 37 weeks 4 days ago

I am using x11vnc and start it so it creates the X server itself like this:

x11vnc -localhost -rfbauth -create /root/.vnc/passwd

But the VNC session created does not have a window manager, just an xterm in the upper left corner. How am I able to specify one?

Btw. is there a way to automatically stop the X-Server if I disconnect from x11vnc, so this essentially works as X on demand?

I am trying to follow this tutorial for building and running an MPI application on an ARM based Ubuntu 11.10 system.

When installing open-mpi environment on my PC machine, the sample program runs well.

I have to move a server to a different DC in different country. The server is currently running 11.10, but the new fresh installed OS will be 12.04. The hardware of both is completley different.

In order to install the same packages that the server currently uses, I am thinking of exporting all packages to a list and then run this list on the new machine.

I just installed hardy onto my Dell a few days ago, I've tried several methods to get my nVidia 8600 GTS to completely work with the GNOME display, but all attempts have failed. (I want my hardware acceleration for desktop effects and music visualizations) Initially when I installed Hardy, I selected to enable the restricted nvidia driver, and everything worked fine until I did a full reboot.

In order to make some tests I installed a couple of machines as Ubuntu and Kubuntu (lucid aka 10.04). Now the configuration and the tests are completed and I would like to move both of them to Ubuntu server without running the installation media. Those machines are in production now (blame on me!) and a re-installation is both impractical and impossible. I would expect I can do it by purging/remov
