I ssh into a machine and want to enable the vino-server on that machine. But, using gconftool-2 to enable doesn't work. If it *already* enabled via the Gnome menu options then I'm able to disable it with gconftool-2, and then re-enable it, but again, that's only if it's already running. I tried simply running vino-server from the command line but that didn't start. So, the part I'm missing is what Gnome is doing when the menu item is enabled. > > -Chuck > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Moseley [mailto:moseley@xxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 9:58 PM > To: gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx > Subject: Controlling vino-server from command line > > > [Pointers to a better list welcome.] > > I'm able to ssh into a remote machine, and once connected I want to > enable vino-server. > > On Ubuntu I can use the System->Preferences->Remote Desktop to > enable the vino-server.
