Exporting second desktop to second computer

As i got a laptop and a computer, i'd like to know if i can achieve the following:
PC: Running Arch Linux + KDE
Laptop: Running Kubuntu
In fact i'd like to be able to configure my second virtual desktop on my computer to be running on my laptop.
To be clear: most people do it by adding a second screen, but i only have a laptop to use as second screen...
Do you understand? Is this possible?
Kind regards, Warren.

@op - interesting, if I understand you correctly, you want to have a dual head system on your PC using your laptop's monitor?  So if you set them up like this:
[PC] [Laptop]
With the PC on the left and the laptop on the right, you want to have one continuous desktop from left to right such that programs can be moved from screen #1 to screen #2?  Or if you move the mount from left to right it'll flow from PC --> Laptop?  If so, VNC won't do that.  I don't know if anything can do that; never tried before.  Does the laptop have a video in?

  • Apple TV display second desktop only??

    hey i'm trying to figure out how to only use airplay to show second desktop and still use my computer? Basically i want to know how to make it either display second screen only on tv or accomplish exactly same thing as when you plug in display port and it seperates as dual screen?

    I just downloaded airparrot and after adjusting some settings I was able to set my television up as a dual screen through Apple TV.  I use Propresenter as a Youth Minister at my church and this setup allows me to do that.  Thank for the info.

    Just download it again from the Adobe site. Google for it. Links to the latest version are here: Lightroom 5.7 now available. Install and enter the license number from the copy you already bought.

  • Case: When trying t work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first deskt

    When I try to work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if already open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

    Whether or not this behavior occurs depends upon various preference settings and upon how you try to access the application in question.  Personally, I like to organize my desktops according to project, so I regularly have windows from the same application spread out over several desktops. No problem.
    For example, I have a Safari window in Desktop 1 and I want a Safari window in desktop 2. If, while in desktop 2, I bring Safari to the front by clicking on the Dock icon, I can open a new window in the usual ways. I could also just control-click on the Safari icon in the dock to get a new window in desktop 2. 
    (The only application that is a little weird in this regard is Finder. You have to do the control-click on it or it will always switch to a space with a window open.)
    To make all this occur, I have Safari assigned to no desktops (control-click on Safari icon, then on Options) and in Mission Control preferences (in System Preferences) I have "When switching to an application..." UNchecked.
    (Note that, with these settings, if an application is already in front and you click on its icon - or click twice on the icon if the applcation is not in front - the OS will assume you are looking for another open window and will switch spaces to give you one.)
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it posable to run iPhoto from a second drive in my computer?

    Is it posable to run iPhoto from a second drive in my computer? With all the pictures in it, it's useing alot for space.

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Mavericks: terminal preferences not transfered to second desktop

    I have created my own Terminal settings through preferences, and I have selected them to be used when creating new terminal windows.  On the desktop where I first launch Terminal, this works as expected.  If I then go to a second desktop, and type "command + N", then the "Basic" terminal settings are used instead.  If I look in the preferences, I can still see that the ones I picked are set, however, the "Shell > New Window" is set to Basic.  Perhaps obviously, since I am launching a new Terminal on a different desktop, I have changed Mission Control to no switch to the desktop on which the windows are already opened.
    I believe this is a software bug and not some preferences I can control.  Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Andre

    The full screen action that you are describing is working as Apple have designed it to work.
    Whenever you use an application or watch a video in Full Screen mode, it will always open it its own desktop.

  • HT1390 Where the **** is the downloaded movie? I already tried to download it a second time and the computer tells me it recognizes I already downloaded this movie, but I go to itunes and movies and it is not listed.

    Where the **** is the downloaded movie? I already tried to download it a second time and the computer tells me it recognizes I already downloaded this movie, but I go to itunes and movies and it is not listed.
    I've checked my downloads folder, the movie I rented is nowhere in my itunes library, but if I go to rent it again the store tells me I will be renting it a second time. *** apple? I've got a show in an hour, guess I'll rent it twice. Thanks.

    You donwloaded it on your ipod ( this is the ipod forum)?  it is in the videos app.
    On your computer?  it should be in your library under movies.

  • My MacBook Air is making a noise every 7 seconds for 2 seconds. It started today, and I have had it for almost a year.  It is below the power switch and annoying enough that it is hard to even work with the computer.  Ideas?

    My MacBook Air is making a clicking noise every 7 seconds for 2 seconds. It started today, and I have had the computer for almost a year.  It is below the power switch and annoying enough that it is hard to even work with the computer.  It sounds as if a hard drive is trying to work. No applications running.  Ideas?

    If its a MBA with solid state drive then I would guess its the fan touching something ???. I think it have no other moving parts.

  • Yesterday I moved a folder from my portable drive to the desktop of a computer called B3. The folder

    Yesterday I moved a folder from my portable drive to the desktop of a computer called B3. The folder contained four tiff files and 16 PSD image files that I had been Photoshoping for two weeks. I dragged the folder into bridge for a quick look. Most of the fliles had been processed in Lightroom 4. When I opened the first image in PS all of the layers were gone and the image looked like it had never had anything done to it. All of the PSD images opened with the same result, no layers, weeks of work gone. I took the portable drive and plugged it into my labtop. All of the layers were there. What happened? there was no older version of the file on the drive.

    Actually that would not have had any impact. When I processed the files in Lightroom there was a software glitch and they would not open as PSD 's inPs they appeared as raw files in PS. Yes I know how to set preferences. Ok to get around that one I exported my files as PSD into a folder. After I always opened them from the folder so I don't see how the XMP files could be an issue. Also remember for two weeks I had been working using the same procedure with out any trouble@bdentonphoto: RT @Patrick_Baz: @patrickwitty: Brutal, important frontpage of the @guardiannews, heartbreaking photo from the massacre in Houla, #Syria http://t.co/7411qhUf

  • G3 screen lights up every 18 seconds for 6 seconds while at rest? How can I stop that

    A G3 lights up the screen every 18 seconds for 6 seconds while at rest. How do I stop this. Have turned off all the auto update, location find, etc I can find and it still lights the screen every 18 seconds. Battery taking a beating and can't use it for an entire day without a charge. This seems to be the culprit.
    Help!
    Paul

    Reset, hold Home and Power buttons until iPhone restarts itself.
    Clean dock port, use a clean dry toothbrush. Lint free cloth moistened with Isopropyll Alcohol.

  • Exporting music from ipod to computer

    How do I export my music to my computer??

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
