| blackroot | is there a way to turn my rented server into a "desktop server" which clients can connect to (and have desktop in "cloud") from either boot or some other way? | 08:45 |
|---|---|---|
| blackroot | i read a bit about PXE server but that seems to me to be a remote installation service, which is not what i had in mind | 08:46 |
| blackroot | i assume i'd have to install ubuntu on my machine.. and that the GUI somehow is loaded from the rented server rather than the machne locally | 08:48 |

| tomreyn | blackroot: right, you'd install one of the ubuntu flavors on the server, bare metal or in a VM. and then use something fast enough to remote control it, such as x2go or gnome-remote-desktop | 14:23 |
| tomreyn | if you want to use it with multiple users which can each login to a separate account, you'll need some solution which can let users start their own desktop session, such as x11vncserver, or Xrdp. | 14:26 |
| tomreyn | one topic to take into account there is graphics acceleration. both virtual servers and server hardware usually do not have graphics acceleration hardware. | 14:27 |
| blackroot | tomreyn: thanks for answer. will look into that | 15:47 |
| surskit | hello, I'm trying to preset the installer user password in subiquity so I can complete the installation on a headless machine (no keyboard or display) like on this post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1389280/preconfiguring-ssh-password-for-server-installer | 21:14 |
| surskit | I'm struggling to figure out where this autoinstall file should be put though | 21:15 |
| surskit | I was hoping I could put it on the usb I've burned from the iso | 21:15 |
