How to create a patch for a repository with submodules

You checkout whatever repository you want.

Then you make all the changes that are required to make it all work in any submodule as needed. You don't commit in the submodules.

Make sure you have committed everything in your own repository and git diff shows that there are only changes in your submodules and you "parent" repository is still clean.

git --no-pager diff --no-color --submodule=diff > patch.diff

Using virtual VNC Xserver over guacamole

Installation

1. Install sudo apt-get install xfce4-session xfce4-goodies xrdp tigervnc-standalone-server
2. The files /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini and /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini may have to edited as in this gist, but it may work also with default configs
3. For reconnections (in guacamole) to existing session to work, the resolution in guacamole for the connection should be fixed (e.g. to 1280x900 in the connection settings)
4. Each user who wants to use it, should have the files ~/.xsession and ~/.vnc/xstartup with the defaults in this gist in their home directory

Without Guacamole
