I am using vnc4server to login, I'd like to use x11vnc but there's a bug there that makes it unusable, bug #247669 and the source package to x11vnc doesn't compile, it is missing various Makefile.in files.
When you login with vnc4server, dbus may not run and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is not set. In the gvfs-bin package, at the end of client/gdaemonvfs.c there's a thing there that silently returns if it can't find this variable in the environment. To fix I added a line i $HOME/.vnc/xstartup eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` After that "gvfs-ls computer:" worked. But I couldn't click into my usb drive inside computer: There were some accessdenied errors with dbus but I fixed it by changing the "Volume" lines in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf to "accept" instead of "deny" And then running the polkit-gnome-authorization to allow me to mount/unmount drives remotely. It was mainly problems from logging in via vnc4server -- "Computer" not recognised by Nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282940 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
