KDE Desktop in vps [message #977]

Is it possible to run a KDE Desktop accessible through vnc in a vps? If so, please suggest appropriate steps to do it.

I'm using an x86_64 system which complicates the issue a bit. Some of the template management software doesn't yet work on x86_64.

It is possible. I can't remember exactly, what we did, but seems there were no special issues. Install required packages (Xorg, kde, vnc) and check user_beancounters on these applications start - default values aren't enough.

I was able to run some X Window applications (even xscreensaver Smile

) from inside a VPS using vnc. I remember nothing special.

As for x86_64, you'd better off using yum from inside a VPS to install all the required stuff.

PS if you will succeed, it would be great if you provide a short HOWTO so we will post it to the appropriate place.

jds: probably you should do like kir suggested - install needed packages from inside VPS. Take a note of which packages it tries to install / remove - you might need some of them (vzdev, -dummy etc.) and might not want suggested ones, like mkinitrd etc. I quickly tested KDE + xorg install on my VPS (32bit) and here are the results: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=1115&#m sg_1115
