| LinDol | good morning :) | 00:49 |
| austin4123 | Hi! I would appreciate if you guys could help me out. Here is the problem I'm facing: | 05:46 |
| austin4123 | So I am trying to get the Vino VNC Server to startup on boot, meaning I don't have to login to have the VNC Server start. I am on Ubuntu GNOME 15.04, and I have already added "/usr/lib/vino/vino-server" to 'Startup Applications'. | 05:46 |
| austin4123 | However, the VNC Server still won't start as soon as I boot up. I have to login in order for the VNC Server to start. What should I do? | 05:46 |
| darkxst | austin4123, "startup applications" are user only | 06:00 |
| darkxst | you will want a systemd unit if your on 15.04 | 06:00 |
| darkxst | or an upstart session prior versions to that | 06:00 |
| darkxst | austin4123, you can also try set org.gnome.desktop.remote-access enabled in dconf-editor | 06:04 |
| austin4123 | darkxst it is enabled already in dconf | 07:51 |
| austin4123 | darkxst what do you mean by systemd unit? How do I configure it so that Vino can start up automatically? | 07:52 |
| darkxst | austin4123, I don't know if vino ships with one, but if it does its just a case of doing something `systemctl enable vino` | 08:28 |
| darkxst | if not you will need to create one | 08:28 |
| austin4123 | darkxst I have searched through the systemd folder, and there is none for vino | 08:28 |
| darkxst | http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html | 08:29 |
| austin4123 | darkxst I'm really noob, and I have almost no idea what that article is talking about. Do you know if there are any existings one that have existed? | 08:30 |
| austin4123 | I have been googling for a couple hours, but still can't find a solution | 08:31 |
| darkxst | austin4123, this would be close to what you want http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/configure-vnc-server-on-centos-7-rhel-7.html | 08:31 |
| darkxst | see the bit half way done where they create a .service file | 08:31 |
| darkxst | I think you could just swap vncserver with vino-server | 08:32 |
| austin4123 | Could you guide me on how I can do it? I have almost no idea what it means... | 08:34 |
| darkxst | austin4123, or try nx nomachine, it uses virtualGL and should actually work better with gnome-shell | 08:35 |
| darkxst | https://www.nomachine.com/ | 08:36 |
| austin4123 | darkxst The reason I went with Vino is because it is already installed by default, and because of how I planned my server out, I need to remain with Vino... | 08:37 |
| darkxst | austin4123, that is way faster than VNC though, especially over DSL type lines with crappy upload speeds | 08:38 |
| austin4123 | darkxst, I know there are a ton of VNC servers out there and I really don't like Vino too, but again I'm kinda stuck on Vino... | 08:39 |
| darkxst | nomachine is not VNC server | 08:39 |
| austin4123 | darkxst I haven't really went into detail on what it exactly does, but I need to use Vino for remote desktop access.. | 08:41 |
| darkxst | then go and make a systemd unit file, as per my other link | 08:43 |
| austin4123 | I came here because I don't know how to make a systemd unit file | 08:44 |
| darkxst | austin4123, I am not going to do it for you, read the page I linked, it has an example unit file | 08:45 |
| darkxst | and you should just need to replace vncserver with vino-server | 08:45 |
| austin4123 | darkxst what does "@:5.service" in "vncserver@:5.service" mean? | 08:46 |
| darkxst | at a guess its telling to use display :5 | 08:50 |
| austin4123 | when i ran the command "cp /lib/systemd/system/vinoserver@.service /etc/systemd/system/vino-server@:5.service", it returned: | 08:51 |
| austin4123 | cp: cannot stat '/lib/systemd/system/vino-server@.service': No such file or directory | 08:52 |
| darkxst | you may need to grab the file from centos packages! | 08:53 |
| austin4123 | darkxst So first of all I need to find out where the vinoe-server.service file is right? | 08:53 |
| austin4123 | huh? | 08:53 |
| darkxst | perhaps just cut+paste text from page, it seens complete enough | 08:55 |
| darkxst | i gtg, you nay have better luck in #ubuntu or so, this is nothing specific to Ubuntu GNOME | 08:56 |
| austin4123 | ok. tried there, no response | 08:56 |
| darkxst | ubuntuforums then perhaps | 08:58 |
| austin4123 | tried there too. | 09:00 |
| darkxst | austin4123, sorry but I do not have time to provide individual user support | 09:00 |
| austin4123 | alright | 09:01 |
| darkxst | I barely have time to run Ubuntu GNOME atm | 09:01 |
| darkxst | s/run/lead/ | 09:01 |
| austin4123 | I just tried it, but it didn't work. I saved the file as "vino-server@.service" (without quotes). Did I did it correctly or should it be saved as other names? | 09:13 |
| darkxst | austin4123, that name should be fine | 09:32 |
| darkxst | but you need to enable the service with systemctl also | 09:33 |
| austin4123 | I got the error "Failed to start vino-server@.service: Unit name vino-server@.service is not valid." | 09:38 |
| austin4123 | , when I typed "systemctl start vino-server@.service" into the terminal | 09:39 |
| darkxst | @ maybe globbed, try \@ or just remove ti from filename | 09:41 |
| meetingology | darkxst: Error: "maybe" is not a valid command. | 09:41 |
| austin4123 | darkxst Error: "Failed to start vino-server.service: Unit vino-server.service failed to load: Invalid argument. See system logs and 'systemctl status vino-server.service' for details." | 09:44 |
| austin4123 | Running systemctl status vino-server.service gives me: | 09:46 |
| austin4123 | http://i.imgur.com/loKHrPe.png | 09:47 |
| darkxst | you probably messed up the execstart.execstop lines somewhoe | 09:49 |
| darkxst | somehow | 09:50 |
| austin4123 | http://i.imgur.com/A3GUTq0.png | 09:54 |
| austin4123 | I copied and pasted the code, replaced "vncserver" with "vino-server", replace <USER> with "b", my username | 09:55 |
| darkxst | austin4123, the "quotes" have gone funny | 09:55 |
| austin4123 | lol | 09:55 |
| darkxst | fix those and it will probably work better! | 09:56 |
| austin4123 | almost a same error: http://i.imgur.com/F8Fjc5d.png | 10:03 |
| austin4123 | I've rebooted the system | 10:03 |
| austin4123 | could it be because vino-server is not in /usr/bin? | 10:03 |
| darkxst | you need to use the correct path | 10:06 |
| darkxst | /usr/lib/vino/vino-server | 10:06 |
| austin4123 | Changed the paths, got the same error: http://i.imgur.com/loKHrPe.png | 10:10 |
| darkxst | austin4123, the error is probably because your quotes are messed up | 10:11 |
| austin4123 | darkxst http://i.imgur.com/sRPKrsT.png | 10:12 |
| austin4123 | btw when i tried to save the file, i got this: "(gedit:1980): Gtk-WARNING **: Calling Inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files" | 10:13 |
| darkxst | austin4123, execstop opens with " but closes with ' | 10:14 |
| darkxst | austin4123, also [Install] should probably be on a new line | 10:21 |
| darkxst | austin4123, also possibly might need to be using backticks `, since its passing to the shell | 10:23 |
| austin4123 | so use ` for both opening and closing? | 10:24 |
| darkxst | austin4123, maybe, though probably the most important bit is that open and closing match | 10:27 |
| darkxst | "some string' is never going to work ever | 10:28 |
| austin4123 | darkxst alright so i tried copying and pasting the quotes directly. this is the current code: http://i.imgur.com/RmtJEvK.png | 10:29 |
| austin4123 | it gives me this error: "(gedit:2139): Gtk-WARNING **: Calling Inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files" when i tried to save it | 10:29 |
| darkxst | austin4123, you do not want wordproccesor friendly quotes in a script | 10:30 |
| darkxst | I would try ' for exec start/stop and if that dont work then ` | 10:30 |
| austin4123 | darkxst ok. | 10:30 |
| darkxst | bash probably doesnt even understand unicode quotes | 10:31 |
| darkxst | dash definately wont | 10:31 |
| austin4123 | darkxst just tried ' for both exec start and exec stop and it didnt work: http://i.imgur.com/n5nidql.png | 10:34 |
| austin4123 | trying ` now | 10:34 |
| austin4123 | darkxst using backticks: http://i.imgur.com/G2aO5Ec.png gave me this error: "(gedit:2335): Gtk-WARNING **: Calling Inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files" | 10:35 |
| austin4123 | when i tried to save it | 10:36 |
| austin4123 | the current filename is "vino-server.service" | 10:37 |
| * darkxst goes, must eat | 10:40 | |
| === `nodedfree is now known as nodedfree | ||
| Noskcaj | darkxst, Can we sync g-o-a or does it switching to webkit2gtk break stuff? | 21:52 |
| darkxst | Noskcaj, webkit switch is probably ok, but not sure if the yahoo removal will affect g-c-c | 23:18 |
