How can I tell what the session manager is for Academy and where does it get started up?
The reason I'm asking is I almost have my snapshot how I want it. I installed tightvncserver and the vnc clients keep connecting into the wrong display. There was an forum posting that noted about removing /etc/X11/Xsession from the xstartup of tightvncserver and replacing it with:
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE
but Academy linux which uses wmii window manager doesn't use lxsession so I wasn't sure how to replace the above code to get tightvncserver to allow the client to open up the realtime live display.
Thanks.

I read a couple times that they say x11vnc will show a live remote session but that seems to be 10 meg larger when I try to apt-get install it.

Just install lxsession if you want a session manager, it works wm-independently. At least that's what I know.
Probably you (also) need a policykit or dbus session running, so starting the WM would require something like:
/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session YOUR_WM
Of course, you need to install a policykit-daemon for this (lxpolkit, policykit-1, or so)
..gnutella..

Thanks, lxsesion is 20Meg alone but x11vnc is 10Meg. I think i might be better off just doing x11vnc.
Thinking about posting a custom tutor on how to create a custom locked down snapshot time permitting.
