X11 and Remote KDE desktop

I have started using my Mac for Unix systems administration using X11 and XDMCP (??) to a local linux box running KDE. I start X with -query a.b.c.d and running fullscreen I get a nice fullscreen desktop login. Everything was working fine until I realised that I was still running the Panther version of X11 on my Tiger system. I have upgraded from the install CD and now have a minor but impossible problem.
Everything works as before and I can login to the box. I open a Konsole session on the KDE desktop and suddenly discover that the "e" key on my keyboard has become a backspace key!!! Every other key seems to work fine!!
I cannot figure out what is causing this and how to fix it any and all advice/suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

Remote Control is a built-in feature for SCCM 2012 and uses the RPC protocol. When you use this, the user can still be logged on while helping.
Remote Desktop is a buit-in feature for Windows and uses the RDP protcol. When you use it, the user will be logged off.
Why you would use one over the other depends on your requirements.

XBMC/mplayer and KDE Desktop effects

Hi,
i have setup a arch based HTPC with XBMC on top of KDE, but there is one thing i were not able to resolve: The XBMC GUI and playing a video on it gets laggy as soon as i DISABLE the kde desktop effects. My system is i3/sandy bridge based with integrated intel graphics, vaapi installed.
1. tried different playback settings within XBMC, same results
2. as soon as i disable the kde desktop effects, xbmc becomes slow and laggy, even if i dont restart it, if i enable desktop effects its smooth again
3. mplayer reacts the same way when used with -vo gl or -vo gl2, so it could be somehow opengl related. With -vo xv it runs smooth in both configurations.
4. Cpu load is constantly <20%
5. tried as root user, same results
6. glxinfo reports direct rendering is enabled
so any ideas how to resolve that problem? or how to find out whats going on?
you may ask why i want to disable desktop effects, well with desktop effects on, videos run almost perfect, but sometimes there are smaller lags that, i guess, can be related to the desktop effects eating resources, so i want to try without them.
here is the custom part of my xorg config, tearfree was needet to get a vsync-enabled video playback:
#20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "TearFree" "true"
#Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
#Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"
EndSection
Section "dri"

Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer because there is a time or date diffrence between your computer and remote computer

Hello.....
I'm not able to log into Windows Server 2008 r2 server thorugh Remote Desktop connection, receiving below error message.
This issue is with only three servers in the environment
"Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer because there is a time or date diffrence between your computer and remote computer......"
The date/time is correct on the server when i checked in the console session of the server
Can see below messages in event logs
Event ID 1014:
"Name resolution for the name XYZdomain.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."
Event ID 1053:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the user name. This could be caused by one of more of the following:
a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller.
b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
Any thoughts ....

Hi,
Have you tried to connect these three servers with IP address instead of computer name or DNS name?
Check Remote Desktop Connection settings: Option-->Advanced-->Connect from anywhere-->Settings-->Connection Settings-->Select “Do not user an RD Gateway server”
For more information please refer to following MS articles:

How to detect real desktop and remotely accessed(screen shared) desktop?

Hi All,
On Mac Os the Screen Sharing feature is similar to Remote Desktop Service. Is there a way to determine whether the terminal where we are starting the application(our own application) is real desktop or remotely accessed (screen shared) desktop?
For Ex:
I have booted(logged in) the Mac A sytem with user1 account. From another Mac B machine, i will login to user2 account of Mac A sytem using Screen sharing feature. My application has to run only on real desktop, not on remotely accessed desktop(screen shared). So Is there a way(programmatically) to determine whether the terminal where I am starting the application is real desktop or remotely accessed (screen shared) desktop?
Please guide me.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinay

Have a look at the 'Son Of Grab' sample code, it shows you how to grab elements of the screen individually.

Remote Control and Remote View Problem

Hi,
I work at a High School running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zen works 4.01 ir7.
Remote Control and Remote View works great but I noticed one problem.
We have a logo of the school that is forced down on to the desktop when a
user logs in through group policies. This logo works perfect for the
desktop wall paper and loads every time a user logs in.
When I Remote Control or Remote View a computer the users desktop wall
paper turns from the logo being forced down through group policies to the
desktop to a blue desktop wall paper.
I would prefer the desktop wall paper staying the schools logo when I
Remote Control or Remote View because if the desktop wall paper changes to
the blue color I mentioned above when I Remote Control or Remote View the
users computer, they will know that someone is taking over their computer
which sometimes we dont want them knowing.
We have Windows 98SE computer running Novell Client 3.4 and we have some
computers running Windows XP Professional SP1 and Windows XP Professional
SP2 both running Novell Client 4.91 SP2.
The Remote Control and Remote View problem of the desktop wall paper
changing on the users computer occurs on all operating systems mentioned
above.
Is there a solution to my above problem? When Remote Controlling and
Remote Viewing someone's computer I don't want the desktop wall paper to
change.
Thanks!

[Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working

Hello,
I just did an update, (I didn't think it was a major one, I don't recall seeing graphics update, though I'm not sure how to confirm - is there a way to see recently updated packages in yaourt?) and after a brief issue with powertop that was solved by a restart (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179789 - it may be unrelated though) I found that when I restarted, KWin Crashed, and since then, my desktop effects are not working.
I have gone to the KDE Desktop Effects Settings Menu, and under the advanced menu, set the compositing type back to OpenGL 3.1, clicked apply, and confirmed that I wanted to try it even though it had evidently crashed Kwin. I then received a message stating "21 desktop effects could not be loaded". When I clicked details, a popup window said:
"For technical reasons it is not possible to determine all possible error causes.
Desktop effect system is not running."
For the record, I am on a Thinkpad X201 with intel graphics.
Any ideas?

Some Extra information:
I just tried a restart, that didn't work.
I then went back into effect settings, and saw that "enable effects at startup" was not checked. I also saw that under the advanced settings, Qt Graphics system was set to raster. Since I'm not sure which it was supposed to be on originally, but the current configuration wasn't working, I also set that to Native, and then clicked apply. KWin then crashed, here is the output:

What is X11 and what does it do is it worth downloading i've just got a new Macbook air

What is x11and what does it do i've just bought a Macbook Air note book and was wondering if this x11 is worth downloading

In short, think of it as a graphical interface (e.g. window, menus, etc.) that can work across multiple systems. Applications written to use an X11 interface can run on any OS (Mac, Linux, Unix, Windows) with a suitable X11 server (such as XQuartz, mentioned above).
The pros are that such an app can run anywhere. The cons being that it's kind of a lowest-common-denominator effect so it doesn't look like most native applications.
One cool effect, though, is the remote nature of X11 - it's possible to run an application on a remote machine (over the LAN, or even over the internet) and have it display its output on your local X11 system, so your mouse clicks, keystrokes, etc. are transmitted over the wire, processed by the server, and the results displayed on your screen.
As to whether it's worth it - there's no harm in downloading and installing it - it won't do anything unless any app you're running calls for X11, and any application that needs it will tell you so.

KDE desktop does not come up after log out

I have updated KDE to the lastest version using the Arch packages. It worked wonderfully the first time, all of my widgits were intact and my desktop was just as I had left it, custom background and everything. Then, however, I logged out to make sure Fluxbox worked. Now, even after rebooting, the KDE desktop doesn't come up. It will bring up Pidgin which was running before but the taskbar and all of the widgets are gone and it has this grey background that is the same as the one in the KDM.
No errors are produced, although it does now ask for the password for a Wallet that "Plasma Desktop" wants to access. I recognise the name of the wallet (kdewallet) and input the password correctly after this, two notifications pop up with informational thing. One is about some indexing service being "rebuilt" for new features and the other is saying that it's falling back on a different sound output. None of this seems to have an impact on the limited usability I have.
Has anyone else expereinced this? Are there any log files where errors would be outputted to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have found the relevent messages. They are at a pastebin. http://pastebin.ca/1522805
I'm not entirely sure what is going on here.
After the top line of that post, there are a LOT of errors related to "No block with decorrelation terms" in fact the vast majority of that file are those things. All other "errors" are warnings related to my Fluxbox session which is working fine.
Lines 1, 11 and 12 seem to be the most severe errors:
[0xa2412b0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
"/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files"
"/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name"
I have no idea where to even begin fixing them. However it is Nepomuk that comes up with the rebuilding message i mentioned in my previous post.

Routing and Remote access - internal network not accessing internet through public network!

Hello,
Good Evening to all.
I got an issue in routing and remote access on windows 2003 server. This server is already configured as File server, domain server and Application server. Also configured as router (through routing & remote access) for connecting three different
network to each other. So This server has three NIC card installed and each NIC card represent separate network.
three different network are - 192.42.160.0/24 , 192.42.161.0/24, 192.42.162.0/24
Three NIC card installed on server as with following IP address -
NIC -1 = 192.42.160.220 , Sub- 255.255.255.0 , Gateway - NO
NIC -2 = 192.42.161.220 , Sub- 255.255.255.0 , Gateway - 192.161.220.112 (This ip for internet access so 4g router IP)
NIC -3 = 192.42.162.220, , Sub- 255.255.255.0 , Gateway - NO
Now the issue is I can reach to internet & (also pinging to router ip 192.42.161.112) from only one network that is - 192.42.161.0/24 , BUT when I trying to access internet from another two network (192.42.160.0/24 & 192.42.162.0/24) I cant access
it and moreover can't ping to internet router ip - 192.42.161.112...
So how I can access to internet from other two network also?
I was already configured static routing for all three network but still I was not success. really I don't know what exactly static routing it should be done in routing & remote access so that all three network can reach to internet?
Sorry if I am not able to explain properly. Please let me know if you need more explain on this...
Thanks to all.

Dear Milos,
I am happy to hear from you....
1.- Actually the setup was done long before by another guy and right now I don't want to change it.
Nice to hear from you! Thank you so much. Actually this is first time I am using technet forum upon the suggestion from one of the my friend. So any your help from you will help me a great in this issue...
I ran the route print command and given follow are the results.
I have only added the default route as per the below routes. Please guide me know how to add other static routes for three network.

I want some KDE apps, but not the KDE desktop environment....

I'm on a laptop running Arch (yay!) and I am wanting to install Amarok and KTorrent. However, I don't want the KDE desktop environment, KWin (I use fluxbox), or things like KDM (I use SLiM). Is there a package, like kde-base in Debian, that allows just essential Qt/KDE libraries for applications like Amarok and KTorrent?
Thanks in advance.

I would like to change KDE theme. Is there a way to get to KDE control panel from Xfce so I could change the theme?
Assuming you have it installed,
$ kcontrol
or you can use kcmshell with the name of the options module you want to use, eg:
$ kcmshell style
to change the GUI theme.

Remote access/desktop with personal domain

Just setup whs 2012 essentials r2, everything works fine so far except one thing. I setup the microsoft domain xxx.remotewebaccess.com everything works on there including the dashboard and remote desktop from outside my network. Then i purchase my own
.us domain name from domain.com, and i am url forwarding the new domain to my xxx.remotewebaccess.com, here is where the issue starts, i get the dashboard just fine, but when i go to remote desktop from my purchased domain, it does not work, it as if the url
forward part is not working from my domain provider. Is there any additional settings i need to add or delete? for the record the reason i chose to url forward is because i have a dynamic IP and the microsoft domain name keeps the ip updated.

Hi,
Did you purchase the DNS dynamic update protocol service from your domain name service provider? DNS dynamic update protocol can let anyone on the Internet gain access to resources on a local network when the IP address of that network is constantly changing.
In addition, why don't you set up the domain name automatically and choose a domain name service provider that supports the domain name extension that you want to use in Remote Web access?

Removing Akonadi (aka, leaving a clean KDE desktop)

I don't use KMail, KOrganizer, file/folder puntuation/comments nor anything that would require Akonadi, or any kind of storage system, so I'm just wasting X mb of my RAM in something that I'm just not using, and that I don't want running on my system.
Is there any way to remove Akonadi?
I tried -R akonadi, but it depends on kdepimlibs, and those depend on kdebase-workspace, so basically I can't remove a simple thing like Akonadi without removing my entire KDE desktop.
Regards

Something like this http://trojita.flaska.net/ perhaps? It was mentioned on planet KDE a while back.
Yes, thanks, I've already tried it, and though it seems very promising, it's far too unstable for a productive usage atm. It looks very much like Sylpheed, which I'm currently using, so I would really like to see this develop further to reach a stability minimum (don't get me wrong, I'm a [testing] user, so a few bugs here and there is not an issue, but this one is just a little bit over the edge).

KDE Desktop Refresh

Hi,
I am running KDE version 4.6.5 with Compiz as my windows manager. I am having a reoccurring problem with my KDE desktop. Fairly frequently half of my desktop stops refreshing and the last window image on that side remains even when the window is moved. It looks like the entire desktop has been shifted to the right by half a screen so the previous left side of my desktop is now on the right side and behaves normally, and the left side just captures and retains any windows brought onto it.
I'm new to Arch and have found the documentation in the forums and on ArchWiki to be remarkable but I can seem to figure this one out. If anyone out there has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Depending on what you're trying to do with Compiz you really don't need it with KDE anymore. KWin is included by default and offers a lot of the same effects. You can find the KWin settings by going into System Settings and the Desktop Effects section. I'm not positive that disabling Compiz and using KWin will fix your issues. But it's definitely worth a try.
