| cleary | hi folks - I'm wondering if anyone could provide some clues on x11vnc usage with ubiquity-dm? | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| cleary | currently ubiquity-dm is running (pre-any other dm starting), and I need to give vncserver access to display :0 | 00:35 |
| xnox | cleary: drop an interesting upstart job which will start on starting ubiquity-dm. | 00:40 |
| xnox | cleary: and start x11vnc from there. | 00:40 |
| cleary | hi xnox: I've got it running via inetd at the moment | 00:42 |
| xnox | that would work to, i think. | 00:42 |
| cleary | ...actually, I have a new debug tool I think I can use | 00:42 |
| cleary | will give it a crack - | 00:43 |
| cleary | got it, the x11vnc startup script I'm using is a legacy thing from a bsd admin we had working for us | 01:00 |
| cleary | lots of switches I don't understand | 01:00 |
| cleary | cut them down to the ones I do and it started :P | 01:00 |
| cleary | xnox: your upstart job idea is going to make this very easy - thanks :) | 01:15 |
| xnox | ;-) | 01:15 |
| xnox | cleary: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook see for many examples of how to run gui app (essentially with a DISPLAY var) and how to start your new job before ubiquity-dm, etc. | 01:17 |
| xnox | cleary: note that there is no inotify support on the livecd, so you may need to use `initctl reload-configuration` if your new job is not in place before upstart starts. | 01:17 |
| cleary | xnox: thanks for the links | 01:29 |
| cleary | I only need it to start with ubiquity-dm, I'm planning to use krfb inside the kde environment once it gets going | 01:30 |
| cleary | so I start it on starting-dm DM=ubiquity-dm | 01:31 |
| cleary | and stop it on login-session-start or desktop-session-start | 01:31 |
| cleary | which are events emitted by kdm | 01:31 |
| xnox | sounds okish, test =) to see if it does what you need ;-) | 01:33 |
| cleary | yep, will test the shit out of it :P | 01:33 |
| cleary | xnox: I need some more help if you're still around - the starting-dm event emitted by ubiquity happens before ubiquity-dm is executed | 03:32 |
| cleary | so my x11vnc fails to start due to no x server | 03:33 |
| cleary | I've tried the 'started ubiquity' event | 03:33 |
| cleary | this is still too soon | 03:33 |
| cleary | what's do you recommend without sticking a wait loop in there? | 03:33 |
| cleary | -'s | 03:34 |
| cleary | (or do you recommend a wait loop) ;) | 03:34 |
| xnox | cleary: ubiquity has hooks dir which is processed shortly before X is started I think.... | 08:26 |
| xnox | cleary: grep for hook in ubiquity-dm script. | 08:26 |
| plars | xnox: on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1080701 - psivaa says it's not reproducible for him anymore, but some seem to still be having this issue, or one that looks very much like it | 14:18 |
