remove nolisten on LXDE / Fedora 13

[jwgtalbot]

Hi,

I'm using LXDE on Fedora 13 & am very impressed by the speed, etc. However I need to be able to export the display from another unix machine back to my Fedora machine.

Normally I have the option on other distros to remove the nolisten option from the X startup to enable the X server to listen on port 6000. This doesn't appear to be an option with LXDE...

Please can you let me know if there is a way to do this in LDXE (there is a reference to "nolisten" in the lxdm-binary file, which seems to kick off the X binary - leading me to believe it's hardcoded) ?

Any help appreciated,

Thanks,

James

First off, to be clear, LXDE is not a distro. It is a small number of packages that give you session control, the panel and the desktop. Fedora 13 is your distro.

It may be that LXDM has no knob for this. You could file a bug in the tracker on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_i ... tid=894869

There is nothing stopping you from running a different display manager. The Slim display manager http://slim.berlios.de/ is what I use. I know for a fact it exposes the X command line in its configuration file.

Apologies for the terminology slip - when I said distros I meant display managers rather than linux versions.

I went for LXDEa s I've found that Gnome & KDE are increasing bloated - have used XFCE, which was much better, but LXDE did seem to be much faster than that. I think I may go back to XFCE or Gnome perhaps if there's no simple way to remove nolisten.

Thanks for the tip - I'll take a look at slim.

Cheers!
