I have a linux router that I can only SSH into and have no clue what to do with the latest engine. there is no config file and the only install help i can fine is for a GUI only. any help?

Support for running kai on all routers has been discontinued. You'll need to use a PC to run kai.

Second, the new engine requires a GUI to run, as well as the libwxgtk-2.8 libraries.

Hi, first of all: I know this is a deprecated thread but the problem mentioned is similar to mine and I don't want to start a new thread for this as the subject would be rather the same.

Well, here is my problem:
I'm running an Ubuntu server which would be perfect for a Xlink server. The only thing is, that I want to access the UI from another machine (Freestyle Dash or a Notebook just in case) which works if I'm running "kaiengine" attached to Xorg. I can access the WebUI from a notebook or connect via Freestyle.

BUT unfortunately that is not the wanted behaviour Sad

The question is wether it is possible to run kaiengine with a -nogui option or such to fire it up it without a GUI autostart. I think that should be pretty easy to iterate (hopefully). Maybe a simple check wether kaiengine is ran via the -nogui option followed by omitting/bypassing the GUI initialisation part would do the job.
I'm NOT asking for a complete rewrite Wink

The initial configuration would be done via Xorg/GTK but afterwards kaiengine could be conviniently run as a service via CLI only with the aforementioned -nogui option.

Thanks to the Xlink team for the AWESOME work on this piece of software!

Cheers,

Hi!

I agree with RivaTNT, I also need to run kaiengine on a server without gui,

It would also be useful an option to fork the program to background, something like:

# kaiengine --nogui --background

The result would be starting kaiengine without gui and demonized.

please make it possible.

Thanks!

So you can't run it in a virtual server ?
