The method is to enable Desktop Sharing: System -- Preferences -- Desktop Sharing Vino is run after gnome-session, this means you need have a live session.

I guess the reason why I failed is that I tried some scripts before then this method did not work. However, there is still an issue remains, ie. all users get the same Desktop picture which is troublesome if several people need to access it at the same time. Guess you're still use vino here. Disable vino, then configure XDMCP with steps that Chavdar Ivanov gave you.

Our solution was to build the code that used it (the Xorg server) with gcc on x86, since the performance increase of being able to use the MMX code was significant. (This code has since moved to libpixman, so we may be able to move Xorg server back to Sun Studio builds soon.) Added in as X.org Solution. - No definition for _FUNCTION_ - You give workarounds that use glib's G_STRFUNC or use Sun Studio express. Our solution for non-glib code for Studio 12 is simply to use the C99 equivalent version that Studio 12 already supports - for instance, in Mesa: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/mesa/main/glheader.h#n288 Added in as X.org Solution.

Re: [osol-discuss] Query reagarding solaris installation
Obviously yes. Suppose you're using GRUB. 1) backup your menu.lst 2) boot box with solaris from cd or network 3) Edit disk, assign the linux space to SOLARIS partition. Or, you could delete the linux partition under Windows, leave it un-partitioned. 4) install solaris on that partition. [installing solaris...] [reboot] If windows comes up on grub menu, then enjoy it. If not, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst, add Windows part in, which is most likely: title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Be careful to assign the space, otherwise you may destroy the data in Windows. -Halton On Mon, 2008-03-03 at 03:20 -0800, Reddy Prasad Kurapati Venkata wrote: I have windows xp and linux installed.

Hi Lu, Get Damien's email on vermilion 71 a minute ago, http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=36390tstart=0 He may uploaded the tarballs just now, please try it now, the tarballs link are okay.

If you install Solaris Developer Express, you already have vermillion installed. The link which I pointed to you is the latest vermillion build. BTW, AFAIK, JDS is going to change name to gnome.

Does core system contain X stuff? I did not do like your ways, so maybe lose some dependency in your system. Halton.

I've uploaded build 71, based on 2.19.5 tarballs. http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/current/ As Halton says, the firefox and gnome tarballs should be enough. You can download the evolution tarball if you want Evolution. If you want localised messages, you will need the l10n and l10n-messages tarballs too. Extract the tarballs into the same directory. They will all have a install-jds shell script. Run it as root. It will install to /usr. Damien Halton Huo wrote: Add Damien to cc list, he may answer your question. Halton.

Re: [osol-discuss] How to color vim in OS

Hi,
I use a lots of time the terminal, command line tools, editors etc. I'm using
screen with ansi colors that works perfect. But when I ran vim (with syntax
on in ~/.vimrc) cannot view any colors, only black and white with some bold
texts...
How to colorify vim in OpenSolaris?? Is a question for the console xterm /
dtterm ... ???
My vim works fine with gnome-terminal and xterm under JDS. Do not know
where your vim comes from, there is no vim by default.
Attach my .vimrc maybe helpful.
Halton.
I have probe with different terminals with no colors yet :(

An example for a gvimrc file.
The commands in this are executed when the GUI is started.
Maintainer: Bram Moolenaar [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Last change: 2001 Sep 02
To use it, copy it to
for Unix and OS/2: ~/.gvimrc
for Amiga: s:.gvimrc
for MS-DOS and Win32: $VIM\_gvimrc
for OpenVMS: sys$login:.gvimrc
Make external commands work through a pipe instead of a pseudo-tty
set noguipty
set the X11 font to use
set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
set ch=2 Make command line two lines high
set mousehideHide the mouse when typing text
Make shift-insert work like in Xterm
map S-Insert MiddleMouse
map! S-Insert MiddleMouse
Only do this for Vim version 5.0 and later.
if version = 500
I like highlighting strings inside C comments
let c_comment_strings=1
Switch on syntax highlighting if it wasn't on yet.
if !exists(syntax_on)
syntax on
endif
Switch on search pattern highlighting.
set hlsearch
For Win32 version, have K lookup the keyword in a help file
if has(win32)
let winhelpfile='windows.hlp'
map K :execute !start winhlp32 -k cword . winhelpfile CR
endif
Set nice colors
background for normal text is light grey
Text below the last line is darker grey
Cursor is green, Cyan when :lmap mappings are active
Constants are not underlined but have a slightly lighter background
highlight Normal guibg=grey90
highlight Cursor guibg=Green guifg=NONE
highlight lCursor guibg=Cyan guifg=NONE
highlight NonText guibg=grey80
highlight Constant gui=NONE guibg=grey95
highlight Special gui=NONE guibg=grey95
endif
I got this 'if' statement from (:help xterm-color) and it works,
so I'm not going to complain.
if has(terminfo)
let t_Co=8
let t_Sf=\e[3%p1%dm
let t_Sb=\e[4%p1%dm
else
let t_Co=8
let t_Sf=\e[3%dm
let t_Sb=\e[4%dm
endif
autocmd BufReadPost * if line('\) line('\) = line($) | exe normal
`\ | endif
