I need to take back what I said...
This is Michael Haberler's kernel and it is compiled with

Code:

# CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION is not set

So you won't be able to run 32 bits executable with this kernel.

what a load of baloney ! , just because it's someone elses Kernel does not make it inferior
and this has nothing what so ever to do with Machinekit in any shape or form ..
Presuming yet again ...
i'm off time i left

Mmmmmh....

I haven't criticized anything here. I am just trying to help and I gave an answer in context. hatch789 said he was running that particular kernel, so I took time to locate it, checked the compile parameter and came to that conclusion.

I haven't checked any other kernel, so it was worth mentioning that my answer only applies to that kernel...

If you look at my original post when I made ISO available I gave a link to where I found RT kernels. I had no idea who compiled it, and I don't care as long as it works for LCNC.

PS Thank you cncbasher for answering question about repository, I have been out of the loop for a bit

Hello Hatch789 who wrote

I am assuming you would like help with a VNC server

I am doing just that with a BananaPi and a RaspberryPI with a Android tablet using the tablet for a screen over USB tether, but you could share with anyone who has access to your network.

1. Install x11vnc using
sudo apt-get install x11vnc

2. Set password using
x11vnc -storepasswd

Note: You could also run the x11vnc server without password,but I do not recommend because anyone could see your screen if they know your IP.

3.Run the x11vnc server typing:
x11vnc -forever -display :0
You should see your local ip address you will need to connect to your other desktop remotely from your network. Keep in memory this IP address. Also if you right click on the applet for your network connection in the upper right corner of your desktop. Then choose information about your network connection you will find your IP.

If you want your server to auto start at boot do the following

4. Edit a sh script in any directory, for example in /home/<username>, let's call it startVnc.sh. To do that, use for example text editor: right button-->create New --> Blank file and edit:

#! /bin/sh
x11vnc -forever -display :0

Save it as startVnc.sh
and make it executable: right click --> file properties --> Permissions Tab-->check box to make executable

4.As Root go to the directory /etc/xdg/autostart in open area of /etc/xdg/autostart window (right click-->create New --> Blank file..):
5. Edit text file to contain the following:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=VNCAutostart
Exec=/home/<username>/startVnc.sh
Type=Application
Terminal=true

Save as

VNCAutostart.desktop

Make executable (richt click on file-->properties-->Permissions tab--> check box to make executable

On other desktop that you want to share your desktop with install VNC client. Most are straight forward to setup basicly you enter IP for VNC server and password to access VNC server.

Some choices if sharing desktop with a Android tablet I use:
bVNC Viewer on the tablet, Very basic and simple to use.

For a windose or Linux machine you could try TightVNC which also has a client for Android. I have not tried this one but looks very good.

And if you want to call it teamview as machinekit dose buy all means go ahead. LOL

PS If you want to share to a Android tablet instructions would be slightly different and if that is your intent let me know and I will explain.

Keep in mind that VNC is not a secure protocol.

If you use it on your local LAN it is fine, but do not expose it directly to Internet. If the purpose is to allow connection from Internet you should do one of the following;
- Only start it when you need it (convenient for remote support, not really for unattended connections); use the -accept option to get prompted when someone tries to connect.
- Start x11vnc with the '-listen localhost' option and connect through ssh tunneling (vncviewer -via) (recommended approach)
- Setup a VPN to access you lan
