Beamer
Here folows a quick walktrough of using the beamer trough the indicio server
Start the beamer
There is a small switch on the beamer on the side of the kitchen, if you turn it the buttons should turn orange. Press the on button. Make sure the beamer is on RGB 1.
Setup the Xserver
You should be able to ssh in to the server. Use yout favorite editor to make a ~/.xinitrc file containing your favorite window manager, in this case awesome:
- ~/xinitrc
- -----------------------
- #!/bin/sh
- exec awesome
Now you should be able to start the x server by typing
$ xinit
If you want to start it in the background so you can continue using ssh use:
$ screen -dmS xserver xinit
You should see X starting on the beamer.
VNC
First install a vnc client on you own laptop, can't help you here.
than, while X is running, run the command x11vnc on the server, this will start a vnc server on the current X session.
You should now me enable to connect to 10.0.20.3:0 with you vnc client.
!! x11vnc will only aloow one connect, you have to restart it if you close your viewer.
Stoping it
On the server run
$ pkill X
Than go to the beamer and pres the on/off button, do not switch it off yet! let it cool down for 5/10 minutes before switching it off with the switch on the side.
