I just updated the book to qemu-1.4.0 and now I'd like to be able to run the virtual systems that can be created on a remote system. Using qemu, running a text interface is pretty straight forward with ssh, but I'd also like to run multiple graphical interfaces for testing.
Starting a system in text only mode would be something like: qemu -hda /home/test/blfs1.img -m 2000 -boot c -nographic Actually, running an Xorg based application via ssh should just be a matter of running it. To run a remote window manager though, I think I'd need to use a vnc client and start the remote system adding something like -vnc 0.0.0.0:5 We already have Vinagre as one vnc client and krdc is available for kde within kdenetwork. (That file is in kde/add/kdenetwork.xml, but it refers to linkend="kdeworkspace" which is not in the book. It seems to be a work in progress.) I also saw http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/applications/7-of-the-best-linux-remote-desktop-clients-716346 which rates Remmina at the top. Does anyone have any experience with any of these. The only vnc client I've used is tightvnc, and that was some time ago. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
