Xvnc is an X server as far as the server is concerned. You will need a desktop environment such as Mate or KDE on top of it. Lazarus apps work fine. By default, they are linked into the gtk2 libs and you will to have them installed as well. If I recall correctly, xvnc is run under xinetd. The tricky bit is the login prompt. I ended up using xdm. Basic, but does the job. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto"><i>It seems to me .... that the advance of civilization is nothing but an exercise in the limiting of privacy.</i></div><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto"><i><br></i></div><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto"><i>Isaac Azimov, Foundation's Edge (1982).</i></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div align="left" dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Bo Berglund via lazarus <lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org> </div><div>Date: 20/11/2021 23:02 (GMT+00:00) </div><div>To: lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org </div><div>Cc: Bo Berglund <bo.berglund@gmail.com> </div><div>Subject: [Lazarus] Lazarus on Linux, which desktop environment? </div><div><br></div></div>I have been using Lazarus/FPC for a long time on Windows and also on Raspberry<br>Pi Linux.<br>I also have two laptops on which I run Ubuntu Mate 20.04.3, where I have<br>installed Lazarus and FPC.<br><br>That all works OK.<br><br>But now I would like to put Lazarus/FPC on a dedicated Ubuntu *Server* 20.04.3<br>so I don't have to run the two laptops to access Lazarus.<br><br>And this brings me to my question:<br><br>I have understood that Lazarus behaves differently depending on the desktop<br>environment on Linux, and at the same time I have great problems with using<br>what comes with stock Ubuntu 20...<br><br>So I want to get something that is working like Mint and still able to create<br>applications that will run on stock Ubuntu.<br>And the desktop environment I have to install should be light weight too, no<br>office or video applications etc. Just basic tools for handling the system like<br>GParted etc.<br><br>I will access the desktop over the network using RealVNC on my Windows10 PC, so<br>I have to install TigerVNC into the server after the desktop environment is in<br>place.<br><br>What should I install?<br>Will KDE work?<br>Or does in not matter for Lazarus?<br><br><br>-- <br>Bo Berglund<br>Developer in Sweden<br><br>-- <br>_______________________________________________<br>lazarus mailing list<br>lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org<br>https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus<br><br></body></html>
