MC without a GUI
bob:
I think it makes sense that it changed with the gnutls switch. I see that on 64 bit ubuntu 14.10 but it doesn't seem to hurt anything as far as I've seen so far.
InflatableMouse:
Sounds good. Thanks Bob!

I'm after some help please. Running Ubuntu 14.04 x64.
First I was stuck with trying to remote in via ssh. I glossed over this bit:

Install and run once remotely via ssh and X forwarding to get the configuration setup.

Then I twigged that I needed to install SSH (you could misread this as "install MC" by the way), so I did a:
--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install ssh
--- End code ---
and then remoted in but got a no-can-do along the lines of errors to do with p11-kit + core dump / seg fault. So, I looked around and gave the info here a bash:
Switching to gnutls from openssl in the next build
Now when I remote in, the p11-kit errors have disappeared but I'm still getting core dump (segmentation fault) when I run the command "mediacenter20" from the remote terminal.
Thoughts?

You probably don't have x11 forwarding setup.
Try this on the machine that you ssh'd into:
sudo apt-get install xterm
then after it finishes, just type xterm and hit enter. I bet it won't run.
in debian, the config file is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
enable X11 forwarding
restart: /etc/init.d/ssh restart
logout and ssh back in again.
retry xterm
if it works you should be set, if not logout and ssh back in again using the -X flag arg to ssh, ie
ssh -X someremotemachine.com
mwillems:
And if the -X argument doesn't work, you may need to pass the -Y argument instead (I did, as I recall).
FYI, I had pretty poor luck doing remote admin of an MC instance via normal X-forwarding; I had much better luck using a VNC client over ssh as described in step-by-step detail here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=91227.0
I especially recommend it if you need to use the MC GUI on the server instance (I found it very hard to use the GUI w/ X-forwarding due to lag). The VNC over SSH method has the added advantage of making your linux MC instance easier to log into from non-linux boxes and android devices.
