## VNC access

An alternative that worked at least once today in the morning:

 install x11vnc

 then port-forwarding to get to localhost on remote:
 ssh -C -f -L 5900:localhost:5900 markus@murano

 start x11vnc on remote (I had to get DISPLAY: ":1" instead of the 
 default ":0")
 x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :1

 then I use remmina to connect to localhost:5900

 This gives me the control over the session that is running on my PC at 
 the CBS. Actually it displays the full desktop, i.e. in my case both 
 monitors next to each other.

do 

```
> vi /etc/network/interfaces :
```

netmask 255.255.255.0

```

## Activation sshd

```
> apt-get install ssh
```

puis, ajout dans /etc/rc.local :

```
if [ ! -d /var/run/sshd ]; then
   mkdir /var/run/sshd
   chmod 0755 /var/run/sshd
fi
/usr/sbin/sshd
exit 0

## Mounting external drives

### Google drive

Run the following installation steps

```sh
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alessandro-strada/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install google-drive-ocamlfuse
```

Once successfully installed, authorize google-drive-ocamlfuse client with your desired Google account using the following command.

```sg
$ google-drive-ocamlfuse
```

This is going to pop open a page on your browser where Google will request you to choose a Gmail  account to continue with the setup

Finally, create a mount point in your home directory and mount the directory

```sh
$ mkdir ~/google-drive
$ google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/google-drive
```
