Well I boot up a client and log into ctrl+alt+f1 and log in. I installed htop into the client chroot for easier troubleshooting. I run htop and find x11vnc running owned by root. I then switch back to ctrl+alt+f1 and log in. I check screen 1 and htop still shows x11vnc running. I switch back to screen7 and logout, then back to screen1, now x11vnc process is gone and I cannot use vnc modules of fl_teachertool. I thought that maybe xterminator was the problem, so I removed it (along with the /etc/X11/Xsession/10-xterminator gotcha). I rebooted the client and am still seeing the same issues, so xterminator can be crossed off the list. So for some reason logging out is killing the process. More later, have to pick up my kids :-) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cotter Technology Department, and is believed to be clean. -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
