Setup for Remote Control of Flame(Linux) via VNC
__________________________________________________
GENERAL NOTES:
-- For the sake of simplicity, I've referred to the Autodesk application as "Flame", since that's what I'm using, although this will probably work for any other Autodesk Linux system.
-- It's necessary to set up two vnc servers on two different ports - one, an X11 vnc server for accessing the GUI login screen of the machine in order to do the initial login to the Flame account and another vnc server - KDE Desktop Sharing - in order to effectively run the application - to support mouse clicks and proper screen refreshes. The port numbers used - 5902 and 5901 can be changed to whatever will work for your particular situation.

Modifying knife bootstrap (from chef) to exit with the exit code from the bootstrap command.

Modifying 'knife bootstrap' to exit with error upon failure.

Here is a description of the steps I took to cause knife bootstrap to exit with error when the remote bootstrap process fails. I was already calling the bootstrap programmatically (because I was adding a lot of business logic to it) so I didn't patch the bootstrap class but pulled out the pieces I needed.

The template.

Installing node and npm on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
  1. Navigate to http://nodejs.org/download/ and on the Linux Binaries (.tar.gz) row click to download the 64-bit version of the current latest release.

  2. Say you've downloaded node-v0.10.7-linux-x64.tar.gz into the Downloads directory. Then, open the terminal and type the following:

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ mkdir -p ~/local/node
$ tar xzf node-v0.10.7-linux-x64.tar.gz -C ~/local/node --strip-components=1
$ echo '# Node Enviroment Setup' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/node/bin:$PATH' &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
