To be honest, I never tested this over a VPN, I usually use it internally when I'm moving big files around on the server. I used the shell for the longest time but when you are copying files that don't easily into a wildcard pattern, it's just easier to click them in the GUI and copy/move them. That was the whole reason I set it up. The nice thing is that everything runs on the server on my local LAN this way, the only thing needed is tigervnc (well, and a VPN setup) on the client. I've been running this setup for at least seven years (probably longer, I don't remember when I set it up originally) now, with no major issues. I actually just ran into one recently (like two weeks ago) - the new version of tigervnc doesn't work in the manner I've set up with the latest stable Xorg. Instead of troubleshooting, I just masked them and everything is running normally. I actually used a forum thread in the Docs, Tips, and Tricks forum[1] to get it set up initially.

This way it all stays internal on the work network. I do something similar at work for our Windows clients, it was simple to set up there. I've set up my home server to act as a Windows-type terminal server using X and tigervnc. It actually works well, but I never got into multiuser and dealing with logon scripts and the like (you may or may not need this to deal with user documents and the like.) Dan
[gentoo-user] Gentoo VM with VNC
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hi, another problem I encounter when I use Gentoo. ;-) I have a VM (KVM) where I start X11 with qxl driver to use it via vnc. I had the same setup before with Debian. While with debian, VNC was fine, with gentoo the mouse get detected wrong. I mean, I have mouse but the pointer is never in sync with the mouse. It seems that it is virtual "scaled" on the way. That make it difficult to find the right point to click and impossible to click on buttons. On the other side I use tigervnc that worked best in the past. Currently I have no idea how to fix it. Ah yes, X11 seems to be a new battle field for me in gentoo. While ~/.xsession was the way to have a custom startup in other distributions, it is ignored in gentoo, used via startx or wdm. I found something about ~/.xprofile but that is also not used anywhere. At least with startx, ~/.xinit is used. Any common way for that?

But I do believe you need something installed on the remote system to listen for nx/vnc requests anyway. I switched to x2goserver/x2goclient maybe two years ago from xvnc/tigervnc as it was getting to be a real chore to install again xorg-x11 at the time. It has some benefits, one of them being it spawns a new session when you log in, like Terminal Server/Remote Desktop Services on Windows - meaning you don't attach to an existing user that's logged on. It also has some downsides. As in not all desktops are fully supported. I had to switch to MATE on the server for reliability issues. KDE5 is not supported, as an example. They do support other desktops besides MATE, it's just the one I stuck with. It does, however, feel back-asswards compared to KDE, as a primarily KDE-user. Dan

One caveat: the way X11 was intended to work in this situation is that you run the X11 clients on the secure machine in the office, and run the X11 server on the remote machine in the worker's home. But, in my experience, it's been decades since remote X sessions could be used for anything other than xterms and emacs. All the "modern" GUI toolkits (GTK, Qt, etc.) have been designed with the assumption that the X11 server and client are co-resident on the same machine. Even the most trivial operations in those toolkits involve so many round-trips between server and client that there's an intolerable multi-second latency over a WAN connection (these days it barely works though a 100M LAN). It's a shame, because that used to be one of the big wins in the X11 architecture. OTOH, there are other remote desktop options that work much better. > I do something similar at work for our Windows clients, it was > simple to set up there. > > I've set up my home server to act as a Windows-type terminal server > using X and tigervnc. OK, there you're running the X server and client on the same machine, but the server is using VNC to display remotely. That works. Just don't try to do it the "right" way -- the way X was intended to work. > It actually works well, but I never got into multiuser and dealing > with logon scripts and the like (you may or may not need this to > deal with user documents and the like.) -- Grant

icaclient = {net-misc/tigervnc,net-misc/tightvnc,www-apps/novnc,et al.}
equivalent.
You still need a remote OS, with a desktop environment running there so that
you can connect to it.
If this is available then you can run the application you want as a
virtualised (remote) app and receive this on your local desktop, running
within a window. I remember setting up some MSWindows app on Windows 7 and
receiving this on a gentoo desktop using xfreerdp.

Bummer. FYI guys, Amazon Workspaces, Amazon Appstream, and Microsoft
Azure RemoteApp kinda work the way I've described but they all have
limitations which exclude them from working for me in this case. It
looks like I'll be admin'ing another remote Gentoo system for this.

To summarize: - Hardware: Beaglebone Black, Ultimate GPS, metal case for Beaglebone Black, uf.l to RMA adapter cable (which socket nicely fits into a hole of the metal case) and an external GPS antenna (adapter and antenna by Adafruit Industries). Additionally a 4600mAh LiOn accu pack to power the whole thing. - Software: Gpsd, Foxtrotgps, x11vnc, xvfb, ifplugd When I boot the Beaglbone Black via accupack it starts gpsd and the GPS receiver begins to sync with satelites in view. If done gpsd will collect the data. Since the output of gpsdpipe (comes with gpsd) is json format, in the simplest case one could stream the data onto disk/flash. When I boot the Beaglebone at home, I plug in the LAN (which will be recognized by ifplugs, which in turn reinitializes everything needed. Now I fire xvfb and xvnc and start foxtrotgps. On my PC I can easily can display the "desktop" of the Beaglebone Black via tigervnc (vncviewer). Two things need still to be investigated: How can I store GPSdata onto the flash in a way, that no additional data is stored if no movement is there. And I have to prevent, that a sector/block/organisation unit of the flash is written more than once to prevent ware out of the flash. Secondly I have to figure out how to feed store data into foxtrotgps, which normally directly connects to/with gpsd. Foxtrottgps reads maps from OSM and store them on disk/flash and reuses this. So this kinda "delayed offline browsing";)) :)) Thank you very much again! :) Best regards and have a nice weekend! mcc

Kernel 4.9.6-r1 is not the problem on at least two boxen I just checked - I also tried a Macbook which keeps crashing at boot time with this kernel, but that's for another post. The USB problem is related to the latest updates I ran, which also coincided with the kernel upgrade and this put me off the scent. I booted into 4.4.39 and the problem was still there on two different PCs. I also booted into two different desktop managers, Plasma and Enlightenment. The problem remained with both of them, whether I used KDE apps to mount the USB stick or not. As I mentioned, when I use pmount on the CLI I can mount the device. However, when I used udisksctl, I got this: $ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount === Authentication is required to mount Crucial Gizmo! overdrive (/dev/sdb) Authenticating as: root Password: What?!
