How to remote control a client on the fly ? if you have not install vnc in the chroot before bootng the thin-client?
Quite easy if the thin-client filesystem is mounted through NFS instead of NBD: change made in the chroot, are shared with the thin-client in real time (except for some files and directories that use tmpfs). 3 step: 1. go into your chroot and install x11vnc: chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get install x11vnc exit 2. ssh in your thin client and start x11vnc ssh r...@thin-client-ip x11vnc -display :7 (if you haven't change default ldm display) 3. tunnel x11vnc via SSH ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 r...@thin-client-ip Or use something like this to create ssh tunneling and start x11vnc at the same time: ssh -t -L 5900:localhost:5900 r...@thin-client-ip 'x11vnc -localhost -display :7' Note: x11vnc http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ can connect to an existing X session. Note: if you haven't setup ssh server in the thin-client, you can do it at step 1. I guess that you must have enabled the root account before, because /root is tmpfs in thin client. Any comments ?
