Re: [gentoo-user] Can I do this remotely?

2009-09-16 Thread Grant
 I recently had the problem described here:

 http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=70884

 The solution worked.  Now I'm being told the same system is having the
 same problem, but I'm away from there.  Is there a way to fix it
 remotely?

 ssh in remotely and have a user log in to gdm locally.

 ps will show if xfce4-panel is running twice, so have the local user log out,
 you edit the session startup files and have them try again.

Do you know which file that is?  I have:

# cat /home/grant/.config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc
[General]
SessionName=Default
SaveOnExit=true
[Splash Screen]
Engine=

but that doesn't seem to be it.

You can use x11vnc to take control over what's happening on a local
display with X.
