| 01:43.03 | bonez2046 | I am trying to use 'talk' or something similar.. finally got my 14 yo son to use an Ubuntu box... he's like it.. I want to be able to send him a text message, without using an outside service like google or irssi .. just want something that will pop up on his screen with messages.. |
| 01:43.15 | bonez2046 | I ssh'd to his box and installed 'talk' on that box too |
| 01:44.02 | bonez2046 | ideas? we are both on our home LAN. |
| 02:05.07 | goozbach | bonez2046: try write |
| 02:05.14 | goozbach | (if he's got a terminal open) |
| 02:05.16 | goozbach | if not |
| 02:05.25 | goozbach | setup xauth |
| 02:05.30 | bonez2046 | does he need a terminal open? |
| 02:05.45 | bonez2046 | I can ssh to his machine and set up whatever is needed |
| 02:05.51 | goozbach | then run zenity to send a one-way message |
| 02:06.24 | bonez2046 | so 'sudo apt-get install xauth' and then zenity too? |
| 02:06.31 | goozbach | not |
| 02:06.41 | goozbach | xauth should be installed |
| 02:06.49 | goozbach | is he logged into a gui? |
| 02:07.36 | bonez2046 | yeah, he's got gnome running on his machine |
| 02:08.17 | bonez2046 | he does homework but also always has google up. he wants to be an arms dealer so he's reading and consuming everything within reach about guns and weapons.. he's totally nuts about all that.. |
| 02:08.35 | bonez2046 | but i want to be able to send him tips and suggestions. that will pop up and get his attention |
| 02:08.49 | goozbach | k, become his username |
| 02:08.56 | goozbach | then run |
| 02:09.01 | goozbach | xauth list |
| 02:09.16 | goozbach | you'll see a long cookie |
| 02:09.43 | bonez2046 | ok... |
| 02:09.51 | goozbach | ord-mandell.friocorte.com/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 90fb512c2c643f5d81054dab8cfb561b |
| 02:10.08 | bonez2046 | so, I'll ssh to his box, then su to his user name, right, then run 'xauth list'? right? |
| 02:10.15 | goozbach | bonez2046: yup |
| 02:10.42 | bonez2046 | dave@updesk:/home/scott$ xauth list |
| 02:10.42 | bonez2046 | xauth: creating new authority file /home/dave/.Xauthority |
| 02:10.45 | goozbach | then use this command with the string youget |
| 02:10.49 | bonez2046 | that's what I got running xauth |
| 02:11.32 | goozbach | hmm |
| 02:11.52 | goozbach | what happens when you run |
| 02:12.00 | goozbach | echo ${DISPLAY} |
| 02:12.05 | goozbach | ? |
| 02:12.34 | bonez2046 | dave@updesk:/home/scott$ echo ${DISPLAY} |
| 02:12.46 | bonez2046 | it just gives a blank line and then the prompt |
| 02:12.49 | goozbach | ok |
| 02:12.50 | bonez2046 | no error |
| 02:12.54 | goozbach | so you don't have the display set |
| 02:13.00 | goozbach | ps -ef | grep X |
| 02:13.02 | bonez2046 | ok.. |
| 02:13.14 | goozbach | you'll see a display number |
| 02:13.26 | bonez2046 | dave@updesk:/home/scott$ ps -ef | grep X |
| 02:13.27 | bonez2046 | root 807 787 1 07:16 tty7 00:14:04 /usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-u6A0xh/database -nolisten tcp vt7 |
| 02:13.35 | goozbach | the display is :0 |
| 02:13.38 | goozbach | so run this |
| 02:13.41 | bonez2046 | ok |
| 02:13.56 | goozbach | : |
| 02:14.01 | goozbach | not that |
| 02:14.08 | bonez2046 | ok |
| 02:14.09 | goozbach | export DISPLAY=:0 |
| 02:14.25 | goozbach | then make sure you have zenity installed |
| 02:14.33 | bonez2046 | ok, need to install that first. |
| 02:15.08 | goozbach | did you see where I got the display name? |
| 02:15.12 | goozbach | in/X :0 -nr - |
| 02:15.22 | goozbach | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:15.38 | bonez2046 | zenity is installed |
| 02:15.41 | goozbach | ok |
| 02:15.44 | bonez2046 | yes, I see that.. |
| 02:15.56 | goozbach | zenity --info --text="Hello friend" |
| 02:16.04 | goozbach | should pop up a window in his screen |
| 02:16.35 | bonez2046 | scott@updesk:~$ zenity --info --text="Hello David" |
| 02:16.35 | bonez2046 | No protocol specified |

| 02:16.39 | bonez2046 | that's what it produces |
| 02:16.47 | goozbach | ok |
| 02:16.50 | goozbach | xauth list |
| 02:17.39 | goozbach | what does that say |
| 02:17.41 | bonez2046 | wait, I did that as my own user, I exited from me and back to dave and then ran that same and no error this time |
| 02:17.54 | bonez2046 | dave@updesk:/home/scott$ xauth list |
