I have tried to get a vncserver compiled on SmartOS--there are none in the Joyent pkgsrc repos. It's been a world of pain and I have not been successful.
I've also tried building xrdp with xorgxrdp ( https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp and https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xorgxrdp) --I was successful building and installing, but my RDP client disconnects after I enter my login information. I traced that to Xorg returning something that xrdp doesn't expect. I haven't had time to debug that more thoroughly. I'm concerned it's a subtle difference in the way Illumos handles networking--I filed an issue with the xorgxrdp repo but have had no response ( https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xorgxrdp/issues/91). If you have a Mac you can install and start Xquartz and use ssh -X your_smartos_host and get the X information forwarded back to your machine. Then you can start X clients on the SmartOS box and have them displayed directly on your Mac. There may be a much easier solution here, but my unfamiliarity with SmartOS has me at a loss. On a tangentially related note I also tried really really hard to get Xpra to work, but I can't even make it work with my Mac and my Linux machines. :-/ --cro On Wed, May 10, 2017 at 10:53 AM, cristian pancià <[email protected]> wrote: > Can someone explain how to view the X stuff on a single Workstation > running smartOS as it boot from console with no Graphics stuff,owning no > supplementary tablet smartphone or pc with the possibilities to view X? > how can i figure out if a webserver for a client its set in a decent way? > Is fbida source code possible to install on my wkstation?Anyone tried that? > Thank you > *smartos-discuss* | Archives > <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now> > <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/28944685-7d49edc2> | > Modify > <https://www.listbox.com/member/?&;> > Your Subscription <http://www.listbox.com> > ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
