Today @ work we had a crashed PC. The PC served as a wall monitor to show the call central display via remote desktop.
They said to me: Go fix it, no matter how you do it, fix it!.
So I installed ubuntu, but the pc on win2k was called sparky. They vnc'd into it just by typing sparky.
Now for some strange reason that doesn't work anymore, and I did not had time to fix it.
So I made a script that sets the IP as wallpaper so that they can type that in ultravnc.
(Later I thought that it would be better to auto-start uVNC to the central at login, but that did not came up on my mind earlier.)
(And even later I discovered the /etc/hostname file was empty, and after I set that with 'sparky' it worked again...)
You need to have a white background picture, I created one with GIMP, 800x600 called 2.jpg, and thats what i'll use in the tutorial. So change 2.jpg to whatever you use.
