Re: Use Nomachine free NX server instead of FreeNX

Turned out it is FreeNX software problem - not Fedora's. I figured out that FreeNX server is a modified version of NX free server by Nomachine. FreeNX is located at http://freenx.berlios.de/ web site and it looks like it was not updated since 2008. I installed FreeNX as outlined in wiki, got connec...

Re: PBA marketing stuff on Amahi.org is very misleading

/joins minority :geek:

I at least want the option to choose.
Well of course. I want to be able to set it up for automated/scheduled backup with the settings I choose. I should also be able to run it manually if I choose. Remember, computers were invented for automation. ;)

Re: Amazon S3 backup

This is an idea that we would like to help with, as a service to help users and to provide value from Amahi beyond what we already do! What parts would you like to back up? We need to spec this out! While I would love to see an S3 based online backup solution, Amahi needs to fix a huge void in its ...

Re: PBA marketing stuff on Amahi.org is very misleading

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't want an "automated" backup app running by itself....
I think you are in the minority

Can't send PMs

I have Private Messages just sitting in my Outbox that don't send. What is wrong?

Re: Can't install vncserver for headless

The problem is there is virtually zero documentation for tigervnc (http://tigervnc.org/). It appears that most of the development was on internal efficiency, so perhaps some old docs from tightvnc or realvnc will be largely useful.

(sigh) When I get some time.

Re: Can't install vncserver for headless

I have been researching this problem all day and discovered the following: 1. The Amahi webvnc installation works just fine (not sure what was going on before, but after a few installs and reboots I verified it worked). 2. The webvnc wiki entry could be updated for clarity which I will be happy to i...

Re: Can't install vncserver for headless

Thanks for your help bigfoot. Maybe we can figure this out together. Yes, I read that article, which the Amahi wiki links to. The problem is that the article gives instructions to edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers (as does the wiki), but the Amahi webvnc install did not create the file (in my system). ...

Re: Can't install vncserver for headless

Well yes, but webvnc requires an x-windows desktop to be running in the background. I will be running a headless server and want to dispense with the automatic loading of a desktop. In the previous Amahi installation I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/VNC and it worked...

Can't install vncserver for headless

I have recently done a clean re-install of F12 and Amahi. I am trying to setup the server as headless with remote access via VNC. I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/VNC I logged in as root on a terminal from my desktop (su -) and entered yum -y install vnc-server Syste...
