Or a password can be required to access the system remotely.<br> When the Remote Desktop Preferences is set, the system can be accessed via Applications|Internet|Remote Desktop Viewer.  <br> <br> I was able to connect between my laptop and server, but there were issues seeing the refreshed screen.  I am not sure if it was that one machine was run gnome and the other was running kde.  There appears to be remote control.  But the results of the remote requests are not seen by the remote machine.  Perhaps this due to the router settings.  Anyway, good luck with this.<br> <br> Regards,<br> Glenn<o:p></o:p></p> <div> <div> <div> <p>On Sun, Aug 2, 2009 at 15:27, Daniel Bicknell <<a href="mailto:danielbicknell63@gmail.com" target="_blank">danielbicknell63@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> <blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt; margin-left:4.8pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt; border-color:-moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color rgb(204, 204, 204)'> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I’m wondering if anyone uses XDMCP successfully with Ubuntu 9.04?  I would like to be able to remotely log into my server via my laptop at home through a gnome session.  I had this functioning in the past (back when I was on 8.04) but at some time I stopped being able to use this access – or rather, when I try to remotely log in, the server isn’t found.</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>To enable, I’ve gone into System->Administration->Login and enabled remote login.  This was all I needed to do before and all of the documentation I’ve found on searches only discusses this screen.  I have no problems accessing Samba or connecting with SSH.  Both laptop and server are running the same version of Ubuntu (9.04).</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Does anyone know what else I might look at?</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Thanks,</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Dan</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <div style='border:none;border-left:solid windowtext 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt; border-color:-moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color blue'> <p> <o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> </div> <p> <o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> <p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>--<br> ubuntu-us-mn mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:ubuntu-us-mn@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-us-mn@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mn" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mn</a><o:p></o:p></p> </blockquote> </div> <p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br> <br> --<br> ubuntu-us-mn mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:ubuntu-us-mn@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-us-mn@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mn" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mn</a><o:p></o:p></p> </div> <p> <o:p></o:p></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
