Need persistent session accessible from local keyboard/mouse/monitor and VNC Jan 17th 2013, 19:41 Hi all, this is my first post here. I'm a beginner at Linux and running opensuse12.2 on a server. I'm trying to be able to remotely administer the server as well be able to use the local KB/mouse/monitor. Here's the trouble. I originally turned on remote administration on the server while I was at the local Keyboard/mouse/monitor and started my program. (If you must know, Oracle's Virtual Box) I installed the server, and later needed to restart it remotely. I was able to VNC on, but could not see any of the VirtualBox Programs running. After the restart I remoted in via VNC and started virtualbox again, however as soon as I ended the VNC session all programs terminate. As a last resort (before posting here) I enabled desktop sharing on the KDE desktop that's logged in automatically on machine startup. (Problem #1 is that it's a security issue to leave the local console logged on) Problem #2 is that the VNC goes to black screen if the mouse stops moving for more than 2 seconds and the input seems very sluggish and unstable. For example I'll go to type my password which is "examplepassword.12" and after 2 keystrokes I get exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. When I work in the remote admin session, I don't have these problems but as I said all my programs die when the VNC session disconnects. Can somebody help me find how to set this up correctly or better? Thanks, Brian
