Hello, my apologies I'm not an expert, so maybe I'm wrong in looking here for my solution, but I think it's worth a try. In my previous distribution release (Ubuntu 10.10) with GDM I managed to have x11vnc run at startup adding something to /etc/gdm/Init/Default. Now, with LightDM, I have two questions: - where can I put a hook to automatically start x11vnc to remotely connect at startup? and most importantly: - why does x11vnc not run until I logged in with my user? with GDM I was able to connect using a vnc client and get the login prompt. Now if I try to start x11vnc it won't work until a user logged into the system. How can I connect with a vnc client to the login prompt with LightDM? Thank you very much. cheers, alfonso -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How can I > connect with a vnc client to the login prompt with LightDM?LightDM has built-in VNC support, you can enable it with [VNCServer] enabled=true in lightdm.conf. -- Guido Berhoerster
