You could also consider using 'xrpa' which is like screen but for X applications. See Bernat Romagosa description here: http://www.asmalltalkbytheseaside.com/#remotedevelopmentonpharowithoutvnc Hernan Wilkinson-3 wrote

Hi does anybody ported the implementation of VNC to pharo 1.3 or 1.4? If so, could you share it? :-)

I use it daily on pharo 1.3. I load it via metacello. My baseline entry looks like this

project: 'RFB' with: [ spec className: 'ConfigurationOfRFB'; file: 'ConfigurationOfRFB'; versionString: #'bleedingEdge'; repository: ' http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository' ];

In that article, the steps are: % xpra attach :5 % DISPLAY=:5 ./pharo.sh which seems to imply that the 5-th DISPLAY port is occupied by the image. When I have several images running, using VNC, I can start/stop the VNC display in each image (and specify the portno) using a Seaside interface. So, I only have to open one firewall port for the X Display port (I'm probably doing something wrong here; maybe I should be using ssh), and I can operate each image GUI as necessary, as long as I only operate on one image at a time. Can a similar thing be done using xpra?

is it wouldn't be easier to run desktop on X server with as many images you like, and connect x server instead using remote desktop connection?

Yes, that would work too. I seem to recall trying to get that to work at some point. Then I ended up on my current path, and forgot about better ways. (Also, I think at some point I was trying to avoid the installation of any X11 stuff that was not absolutely necessary. But it seems I ended up with "tunnel vision" over the possible solutions.)

Hi. Look that you can do with a front-end for xpra, named Win Switch: http://winswitch.org/video/ Regards. El 27 de abril de 2012 17:09, Paul DeBruicker <pdebruic@gmail.com> escribió:

If you run them through ssh then you only need the ssh port (22) open.

Multiple Pharo apps can run at the same time by starting xpra on multiple displays then starting your Pharo instances on those displays e.g.:

xpra attach :5 DISPLAY=:5 ~/pharoApp1/pharo.sh xpra attach :6 DISPLAY=:6 ~/pharoApp2/pharo.sh

Then they just run and you can attach to and detach from (from the same or different clients) them without affecting the Pharo process. I don't think you can put a currently running Pharo process inside the xpra process. The 'DISPLAY=:5' bit just tells the X11 app you're starting which display to use.

would be good to package it with a stable version and publish it for 1/4 in the MetaRepoForPharo14 Any taker? Stef On Apr 26, 2012, at 5:40 PM, Norbert Hartl wrote:
