Well I disconnected the drive and I was going to attempt to recover the /var/ folder using Knoppix, I know there's some great tools on there that should help recover fil...

Re: VNC to HTPC without going headless? Amahi Ubuntu 12.04

I have just reinstalled my Ubuntu/Amahi settup and will get the new app a try. Thanks for answering my questions, so I suppose the functionality I'm looking for just may not be possible with this app. My goal is to have Ubuntu Desktop with Amahi loaded on my HTPC, htpc connects to my TV via hdmi, an...

Are files waiting in Queue lost if Ubuntu is re-installed?

After some issues with the VNC application, I locked myself out of the GUI/X windows and made a sloppy mv command that toasted my Boot folder. After attempting to get things back and running, I decided it was just better to reinstall Ubuntu and restart the Amahi process from scratch. Well I've got e...

Re: VNC - getting a clean desktop

This happened to me last night after I purchased the one click app as well. I thought it could be related to the fact that I was current logged into the machine (as I use it for an HTPC hooked up to a TV). Once I restarted I was stuck in a completely headless installation of Ubuntu with no X. Is it ...

VNC to HTPC without going headless? Amahi Ubuntu 12.04

Hello everyone! I have been tinkering with Amahi on Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop for the past 2 weeks and I've had a lot of fun switching my HTPC to the Linux world. Greyhole is amazing, my video/audio drivers for my AMD APU HTPC settup actually work and I control the whole rig from my couch using a logitec...
