re XRDP: The pet-package is by purpose set up to connect to the running session - which is what X11vnc will do. To set up system where every logon gets a new desktop another server must be used - Xvnc is a possibility (from tightvnc/vnc or others). If you setup such a system nothing will be saved when disconnecting - meaning that you wont be able to go back to same desktop and continuing your work. That is at least what I have been able to set up...

Well I didn't think nature of x11vnc is able to do that in the first place.
I read on xrdp's page that several options are available like Xvnc, librdp usage and similar.

Thanks for your input goingnuts

Not sure why changes wouldn't be saved thought if it would work.

Thanks for test results, sure amarok must be bit heavier on resources but it offers more options.

Re saving: Files saved and so on will be saved - but if you have open windows, documents, running applications they are lost at logoff - again: thats just the level I was able to reach...
Guess its like if you do an "Exit to prompt" from running X.

Ah, so there's no something like -forever option in x11vnc?
I already ran x11vnc as server before and xrdp only adds ability to login from remote desktop client - if you use vnc viewer client you get same thing without xrdp ?
It's good that it implements rdp protocol though.

I'll try some combinations with xrdp and see if anything works.

For X11vnc you log in and out of the running X-session - with "forever" you just prevent x11vnc shutdown when you exit - and you can reconnect to the state you left it.

With Xvnc-server you seems to log into a new X-session every time - and log of that (for you) unique session. After logout the session is closed. You can reconnect but you seem to get a new X-session then.

I tried compiling X11rdp but compiled binary gives error about loading fonts, couldn't get it to get past it.

I couldn't agree more dejan555, just showing a graphical representation for those visual learners out there, including myself.

In RDP world, there have been 2 states of existence. One when a logout occurs and another when a "disconnect" occurs.

On the logout state, depending on XRDP setup, 1 of 2 setup models exists
  • the user session is destroyed resources supporting any session is released, OR,
  • the user session is released, return to the available running pool ready for any subsequent login
Just thought of my use of XRDP-VNC services in Linux's past on Ubuntu-Fedora..

Hope this helps

Hi, tubeguy.

Try this, the latest java jre as an sfs archive.

permanent depot? Thanks in advance.)

Enjoy!

Hello, people.

Is anybody getting this error when loading gnumeric on dpup-4.86?
(See attached.) I tried to replace it with the version in dpup-4.85
and I got the same result. (I believe they are the same version?)

For the time being, I'm using the wine version of gnumeric 1.10!!! (hehe)

If I have any heavy-duty calculations to do, I can use gnumeric in half a
dozen other Puppies, or OpenOffice, so I'm complaining on a full belly.

Still, if dejan had a minute or two to spare, it would be nice to have a
Linux version of gnumeric working in this most recent dpup-4.86.

BFN.

musher0,

gnumeric in 486 is version 1.10.17 (pet taken from wheezy puppy repo)
I'm sure it loads at least on clean boot (tried with pfix=ram?)
Can it be that you installed something other that might have changed some library that libspreadsheet depends on?
I will try to find what this error is related to.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll re-try with no pupsave and see what happens.

EDIT: You're perfectly right, dejan. I get a good working gnumeric when no
pupsave. Sorry for the report. I'll have to backtrack and remove the inter-
ference in my pupsave. Again, thanks.

Hi, Dejan555 .

Great job! Working nice on 128 Mb of RAM PC. I might try to remaster it with all apps I have in Kdpup when i have time.

Small issue maybe caused from my old hardware. Click on Multimedia -> Streamit Video Straming drops me out of X to command prompt.
Changing /usr/share/applications/streamit.desktop this way fixes thiis and Streamit starts fine.
Exec=exec streamit

Multiuser support seems working well but it is different than the one I know from debian. All user folders are created with user:root ownership instead user:user
Quick test with pup_event shows the desktop drive icons for user, but xterm stoped working for user as a side effect.
I just made a copy of /root files in /home/user and changed the ownership :

Code: Select all

chown -R user:root /home/user
In DebianDog we had similar problem to get desktop-drive-icons work for user account. As final solution we use separate script to change the ownership for pup-volume-monitor in /tmp to user:user just before starting desktop-drive-icons.
I can check out how exactly we did this if you like.

Toni
