[osol-discuss] ConsoleKit/gdm not detecting Xvnc failure

2010-03-30 Thread Lee Essen
Hi, I'm using snv_134 and I've managed to get the VNC 'display' working nicely within ConsoleKit, but I have noticed that if Xvnc dies (which it does if you hit the shift-key bug) then it doesn't get restarted. If I disable and then re-enable consolekit then it starts back up again. I can't

Most of us that run OpenSolaris rely on Solaris 10 also. We live our day to day on Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris. As far as I am concerned they go hand in hand and a major event affecting one of them has ramifications on both. The discussions that go on on this list are not 100% OpenSolaris but

I'll just reply here for clarity purposes. So after day 90, does Oracle Solaris 10 stop working or hit some limited-feature usage activation?!? Is Oracle saying to stop using Solaris 10 after 90 days or else we get fined?!? The two tracks, OpenSolaris and Solaris 10, are not affected the same

None of Sun's or Oracle's actual products has real license keys build into the software. So, it will not stop nor be feature-reduced! You only will no longer be allowed to used it. When or if-at-all Oracle might think about sueing you, is totally unclear... They are entiteld to do so, but Oracle
