Questions[x11](ubuntu)

Ok, so if I have two Linux Machines (A and B) and I have a program on one, and want to run it on be I do:

• user@LinuxA:~$ ssh -X LinuxB
• user@LinuxB:~$ programName

(Displays on LinuxA machine)

Ok same thing, WindowsA LinuxB (Program on Linux)

1. Start Xming X Server on Windows
2. Run Putty, use x11 port forward with :0.0
3. After connect to LinuxB, run program, it loads in Windows!

Now here is the question, WindowsA LinuxB, (Program on Windows)

Run Windows Program On Linux, using a windows resources.

How to make it work? BTW, I know it can because years ago, I read a white paper on it, but never actually tested it out.

I have just upgraded my work pc to 12.04 (not upgrade, fresh install), installing updates during the install, and after everything has loaded (with no errors) and I restart I get brought to console 1 tty login.

Console 7 looks like this:

IIRC I did not have to finagle with my drivers on 11.10 to get this card working. If this is in fact a driver bug I will remove this post and submit the bug but i'm not 100% confident that it is.

I attempted to run unity --reset and got this:

Lastly I tried $ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current which tells me nvidia-current is already the newest version. so I ran $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current which says /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: nvidia-current is broken or not fully installed. Anything I can try from here would be awesome.
Currently the only way to get the system up and running was to shut down, plug one of my monitors into the onboard video, enable the onboard video card from the BIOS, then boot back up (and on my single monitor everything is fine).

update

So I have been able to boot fresh with the ext card plugged in as long as I don't take the updates with the install.
past this if I only install the nvidia drivers (nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates) from the main server (or canadian) I then get the problems..

My proposal; which I don't know where to look for:
Can I try installing the previous version of this driver? In the past, on another machine I had issues with my NIC driver being funky... downgraded to the previous driver and bam everything was merry and well.

I know -X -Y options in ssh for X11 forwarding.But these options open the gui apps on my pc.But I want to open a gui application "exactly" on target machine. So please help me with this. I tried this but ended up with the following error.

I have set up a Chrome Kiosk using a custom session in X to run Google Chrome.

It generally runs pretty well except except for a screen size issue.

I have a "chrome.desktop" session file saved in /usr/share/xsessions with the following contents.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Chrome
Comment=This session logs you into Google Chrome
Exec=/usr/share/xsessions/chromeKiosk.sh
Icon=
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8

There is also a chromeKiosk.sh file that is used to execute Chrome. It is also in /usr/share/xsessions. The contents are as follows.

#!/bin/bash
while true; do google-chrome http://news.bbc.co.uk --kiosk --start-maximized --disable-restore-background-contents --login-screen-size="1024,768" --disable-translate --disable-new-tab-first-run --enable-vertical-tabs; sleep 5s; done

The problem that I am having is that Google Chrome (or Firefox, or Opera. I have tried various apps), will not maximise to the entire 1024x768 display. It seems to be leaving approximately 1 centimetre of space on the right hand side of the display (I can see the desktop), and also some space at the bottom of the screen.

I have tried this on at least 2 different computers. One had a higher resolution screen. It left an even bigger gap.

It is as if the application that it being run thinks the screen is smaller than it actually is.

Does anybody have any idea what is going on? I am going nuts with this problem.

Here is an image so you can see the border

That image is from a screen with a 1280 width.

I have a multiseat Ubuntu setup and I need to identify which processes of a graphical application are running in each X.Org display.

For example, I have two X.Org displays, :0 and :1, and two instances of Firefox running, one on each display. How do I find the PIDs of the processes of Firefox running on display :0 only?

Neither ps -e nor ps -T helped me. In both cases, I have a single "?" in TTY column for my Firefox processes.
