VNC, GUI

What are you trying to do? e.g., what windows are you wanting to see?

i 'simply' want to establish a gui based Linux on my NAS and want to access this from a remote Desktop. Why? I dont like that terminal stuff and I need to access my System more than usual besides the web Interface and ssh.

Something along these lines? http://skerit.com/en/computer/english-v ... hics-card/

Hello Stephen,
right, thats exactly one of those descriptions i try to follow. This one is new. I'll see if this helps me. Often the problem is to find software available for our device. Therefore i use my rare spare time trying different solutions i found on the web.
Lets see if your link will guide me, it sounds very promising.

At least i still dont know if this will work at all on our devices. I wonder if nobody did try this before...

I will share my experiences.

I don't recall any other posts on this, so I think you are moving into new territory.

...to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new live and new civilizations, to boldly go, where no man has gone before.

Damn, this seems to be a star wars forum...

We welcome trekkies too. :)

So again, after playing around with several guides for installing vnc and gui on a headless device i still dont make any progress. I got a first little result with the correct arrow cursor in the vnc window and a blue color flickering. But still, there is nothing to see.
It seems to have to do with an randr/xrandr extension. At least the error messages in the vnc server log aims to this. But here i am stuck. I somehow have the feeling that the problem is a combination of a headless device and arm architecture. There seems to be another vnc server named tigervnc which is newer and maybe better for this. But there is no official build for debian wheezy arm. It seems that there is a rpm package for fedora linux (arm).

I wanted to install the rpm package but it failed because of dependencies. I did try to use the rpm tool itself for this. Then there is a hint not to use rpm but Alien. So i tried to install alien but this failes because of disk full error messages. If i run df -h it says that there is less than 40% used on all drives.

Does anyone know how to deal with one or all of my errors? Any hints?

Thanx in advance.

Regards.
