Re: [kde] DCOP problem when running a kde app remotely (withDISPLAY redirect)



Hello,

Wouldn't it be better to use a commandline mixer like alsamixer?

This would be my next (and last) chance, as I need to switch
off something called "externel something" or so, but all other mixers
I have tried so far do not handel this switch, except kmix.
So that's probably my last chance to get my vinyl into this computer.

And anyway: If it isn't possible to just run a kde app without beforehand
starting a bunch of servers (I have read about some further, which might
be needed), then I am really a bit "upset" of kde.

As the -dopcserver switch is already standard to all kde apps, then
shouldn't it be standard to have something like "-dcopserver none"
to switch it off, for any unforseable situations like this one?

cu,
Thomas

Hello,

I have to run a kde application (kmix) remotely on a non-X, non kde
system.
I don't want to install big packets there, as I want to run this kmix
one-time only,
and the system shall actually stay damm small.

Wouldn't it be better to use a commandline mixer like alsamixer?

Result: kmix didn't start due to missing DCOPserver. Then I found
the -dcopserver switch available for all kde applications, but the
proposed syntax (first line from ~/.DCOPserver*) doesn't address
the need to use a remote one.

However, I have read, that a different dcop server is needed for each
display,
so it should be possible to use a remote dcop server in order to use a
remote
display. But how to do it, or in other words:

What is the syntax for the -dcopserver argument to contact a remote dcop
server,
and are there any other things I should take into account?

DCOP handles it transport through the ICE library, which might be able to
handle remote connections as well. However I guess DCOP registers a local
connection, i.e. libICE creates a unix socket, very likely for security
reasons.

Cheers,
Kevin
