Re: [Alug] Anybody using vnc?

I'm using vnc on windows box to view linux screen: had to install xvncserver, then access it using "run vncviewer" from windows, entering port [ipaddress]:1 - am prompted for password then it brings up screen using blackbox. How it works is a mystery to me, as I haven't done anything to the /etc/vnc.conf file at all. Doubt this helps, as always! Jenny.

using the Xmono server
by Glen Tyler 21 Aug '02

21 Aug '02

I have a small i486 with a black and white screen. For obvious reasons I want to use the mono server in my xconfiguration, but I cannot seem to get it to work. The machine is running RH6.0 (thanks to who sent me the disc -Craig I think, but not sure), during install it always loads the SVGA server, due to the card definition (Cirrus Logic GD5422). However editing the X11 config file to remove all the screens that use the SVGA and VGA16 server result in the error - failure to connect to X server. I have Xmono installed. The reason I need the mono server is that under the lynx browser I cant see any of the links as the display is using a bpp depth of 8. any ideas? by the way I managed to get the LXF slackware 8.1 disc to install on my 486 with 16MB ram - now that is a distro!

Shoot me if I'm wrong, but that one looks as if they hold your data and you access it via the internet. Thanks for the link, though. Keep them coming! I thought of writing my own but I doubt that will be happening in a hurry,as this week I appear to have the brain of an aphid. Jenny.

Was this the sort of thing you were after? GRAN PM 1.6 http://freshmeat.net/releases/93584/ GRAN PM is Web-based project management software, which includes a task management system, bug tracking software, and employee timesheet tracking. It makes it easy to identify program bugs and enhancements, identify important items that need to be brought to the attention of management, detect resource conflicts and scheduling problems, and provide clear reports on the status of all projects and tasks.

OEone's Linux desktop experiment enters a new phase
by Keith Watson 20 Aug '02

20 Aug '02

Although it's not strictly GPL, an interesting bit of software if only because they're trying to break out of the Windows/Mac model. I'm not that sure they've succeeded. See this newsforge article: <http://newsforge.com/newsforge/02/08/11/2231241.shtml?tid=26> Keith ____________ Do not fear the arising of thoughts - only be concerned lest your awareness of them be tardy.

lm_sensors, sensord and temperatures
by bsamuels＠beenthere-donethat.org.uk 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

I have, at last, managed to get lm_sensors working on my Tyan Thunder K7 dual processor board and I am monitoring the results with Gkrellm. This gives me two levels of warning. (1) Chips are getting hot - sound the alarm and (2) Turn the thing off before it cooks. Can anyone tell me what temperature values I should set for these and ditto for the chassis temperature? As I have also managed to get this machine to turn itself off after shutting down (shutdown -h now) I can also set Gkrellm to activate this at the higher temperature of the two levels. I can also run sensord to log temperature levels but have had to disable it because it keeps logging a chassis intrusion detection alarm. Although the board has a header for this it is not connected. Anyone know a way of disabling this? Many thanks Barry Samuels

E-Mail Chess
by Keith Watson 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

Are there any chess players out there? I'm looking for software that supports the playing of chess games via e-mail. There's quite a list on Sourceforge and Freshmeat. Any feedback on the relative merits or personal experiences of chess software for GNU/Linux would be appreciated. Keith ____________ The beginning of wisdom is calling things by their right names.
