libreoffice packaging dependency on gnome in Wheezy 7.6

I have both libreoffice and libreoffice4.2 installed. I just want to keep the 4.2 version, but when I try to apt-get remove libreoffice, it wants to remove gnome. Why is gnome dependent upon libreoffice? -- Kevin Buchs Research Computer Services Phone: 507-538-5459 Mayo Clinic 200 1st. St

default firewall

The securing debian HowTo ( https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch-sec-services.en.html#s-firewall-setup ), on my reading, suggests there is no default firewall setup on the base system, unless a firewall script package is installed or created. Is this correct? If not, wher

Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

Reco, I tried Xephr as you suggested. It seems to get around the -nolisten tcp choice. Since I will have to specify the display for the remote X client, I won't have to map the port, but can just use myhost:1.0 for DISPLAY. I got xclock -display myhost:1.0 working from myhost. Thanks for poin

Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. Though ssh, vnc, remote XDMCP, Xephr are all fine for running X clients when there is interactive execution of the client by the user, it does not work in my case where there is Open Grid Scheduler batch execution. In my case, the X client of interest

Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

Thanks for the comment, Nuno. I only want to run a single X client, so XDMCP is not the way to go. My problem is solely getting Xorg to start on Debian without the -nolisten tcp argument. On CentOS, this is the default and I can run remote X clients without any issues. Since switching to Debian

Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

Brian, Thanks. I was heading in the direction of doing something like you suggested (though I am not sure how to stop gdm and not log myself out), but I thought there has to be a better way. Though it may be the case that I have other X communication problems, based on ps (showing the command

Re: enabling remote X Window sessions

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't have those options. I don't get to control how the remote client is executed as it is running in as an Open Grid Scheduler batch job. Kevin Buchs Research Computer Services Phone: 507-538-5459 Mayo Clinic 200 1st. St SW Rochester, MN 55905 http://m

enabling remote X Window sessions

I want to run X clients on a remote machines and display on my Debian 7.6 machine. I recognize the security risk. I usually run the lxde desktop. I see that gdm3 is starting the Xorg server with "-nolisten tcp" arguments. I read that this can be disabled by editing /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf to add
