For some time I've been using VNC Server on my Ubuntu laptop and VNC Viewer (client) to connect from my Android phone over the internet and control the laptop. It works very, very well and it is reliable. But, as Wayland is being pushed, my VNC Server does not work on Wayland and I have to find some alternative. Meanwhile, I cannot use Wayland because of this.

Does anyone have some solution to this? To make sure, I make a summary: Android phone to Linux box (Ubuntu in my case), on Wayland.

Thank you very much.

I could see there are some new movies with wmv file format, but on my Ubuntu 15.10 nothing seems to be able to play these files. I tried SMPlayer, it shows some strange image, no sound; VLC crashes the system, creates few GB of swap; Totem player crashes in the beginning ("The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported").

I uploaded the file on my Dropbox account, here (the Download is on the upper right side): https://www.dropbox.com/s/fle5634rg5gmlv7/11.22.63%20S01E08%202015%20HDTV%20x264%20-%20AFG.wmv?dl=0

Maybe some more experienced one can have a look at it.

There is a chance the file could be corrupted, but it happens the same with many extremely new movies having this format and thousands of people share them, I would think they would say something if this is a bad joke.

I have no idea what to do to open this file (and similar ones), but I do have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed and I could find no other movie not be played on my system. And it is a quite capable one, performance should not be an issue.

Any idea? Thanks.

I am using conky&conkyforecast to have a nice widget containing some system information and weather data.

But I can see that the temperature that conky shows is different than the one I get running in terminal sensors.

Conky script line: Temperature: ${alignr}${acpitemp}°C

Running sensors in terminat gets this:

florin@florin-Satellite-C650:~$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +49.0°C  (crit = +110.0°C)

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +51.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
Core 2:       +60.0°C  (high = +80.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)

Conky shows 49° temperature.

How can I make them show the same temperature? What does conky show over there?

Thanks a lot!
