Setup Issues on Ubuntu Linux

There is nothing about this in the documentation because desktop integration is not a supported feature except on Raspberry Pi, where these issues don't apply.

Quote:Do you think that, over time, you might wish to 'split' MinimServer, even on GUI-based systems which host both the server and the user interface? In that scenario, MinimWatch (or whatever it becomes) would provide control for all Minim-servers on the network, including those hosted locally. This might also provide a consistent means for users to deal with multiple instances of MinimServer on the same machine, which is a feature you have said you are considering, and which I would welcome.

MinimWatch and MinimServer can already do what you are describing. There is no need for any further splitting.

Quote:Actually, it would. As matters stand, I can happily control the Ubuntu-based instances of MinimServer from MinimWatch installed elsewhere on the network. And using MinimWatch on Ubuntu to control a local 'headless' (well, CLI-based) implementation of MinimServer chimes in with the thoughts I was offering above.

I will bear this in mind as a possible fallback if my experiments are not successful.
