| + | ===== VcXsrv Windows X Server ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | <note important>VcXsrv is now pre-installed on your Windows machine instead of [[#cywin-x|Cygwin-X]]. It should work more reliably with the LSCE servers, but does not provide all the resources of Cygwin-X. You may want to install Cygwin-X as well, in some special cases</note> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Web & Download: http://vcxsrv.sourceforge.net/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Setup ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Start //XLaunch// to configure VcXsrv | ||
| + | * Select //One large window//, then //Next// | ||
| + | * Select //Open session via XDMCP//, then //Next// | ||
| + | * Select //Connect to host **asterix**// and //Terminate on server reset//, then //Next// | ||
| + | * Use the settings specified below, then //Next// | ||
| + | * Select //Clipboard// | ||
| + | * **Unselect** //Native opengl//, unless you know what you are doing! | ||
| + | * FIXME We should try to keep it selected and check if ''glxgears'' works correctly, with and without setting the ''LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT'' environment variable | ||
| + | * Click on //Save configuration// to save the settings on the Windows desktop (e.g //asterix_VcXsrv.xlaunch//), then //Finish//. VcXsrv will automatically start.\\ The next time you want to start VcXsrv, just click on the //asterix_VcXsrv.xlaunch// file that you have saved on your desktop | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Notes ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Once you have started VcXsrv and logged in with you account on one of the asterix servers, it is highly suggested to **activate the windows wireframe moving mode** by typing:\\ ''gconftool-2 %%--%%set /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources %%--%%type bool true'' | ||
| + | * If you just need to run an //X server// (instead of using XDMCP), e.g. when you are outside LSCE, just start //VcXsrv// from the Windows Start Menu | ||
| ===== Cygwin-X ===== | ===== Cygwin-X ===== | ||
| - | <note important>Cygwin/X should already be installed on your LSCE machine\\ This section covers the reinstallation/update, or installation from scratch</note> | + | <note warning>Cygwin/X used to be pre-installed on your LSCE machine but the connection with the asterixN servers in XDMCP mode became unreliable\\ The Windows machines now use [[#vcxsrv_windows_x_server|VcXsrv]] but you may still need to install Cygwin-X in some special cases\\ This section covers the reinstallation/update, or installation from scratch</note> |
