tightvcn - how to view the desktop screen?

<< < (2/3) > >>

curaga:
Xvnc apparantly expects the color database (rgb.txt) to be in a different place (/usr/lib/X11/) than it is in TC. A solution would be to symlink it from where it is currently to where Xvnc expects it.

I'll add the symlink to the extension later.

edit: fixed extension uploaded

OK, now I can see the remote desktop with vncviewer. Thanks for the extension update.

However, I can't see the entire desktop. The viewer screen size is smaller than the actual desktop. Full screen mode makes no difference. Also, the background is not being represented as on the tc system. Any ideas?

Edit 1: Alright I fixed the screen size by using "Xvnc -geometry widthxheight :1 &"

But wbar is not on the screen and the background is still wrong.

Edit 2: I wonder? The info button on the vnc viewer reports: "connected to root's x11 desktop". I guess that would explain why I'm not seeing the user tc desktop. I'm entering the DISPLAY command as user tc so what do I do to see the user tc desktop? I started Xvnc as user tc and that changed the connection to user tc's desktop. But still no wbar.

Xvnc does not let you remotely use the existing screen - it creates another screen. It's the beauty of linux systems, this isn't possible on windows systems :)

Some of the other VNC extensions can use the existing screen. I don't really know which one, as I prefer to use X/ssh over other remote protocols, sorry.

One could also make the Xvnc screen the only screen, by replacing the Xvesa line in .xsession with the desired Xvnc line (and using :0 instead of :1). But then the computer couldn't be controlled locally.

Well now that explains everything. I presume X/ssh presents the x desktop over a ssh remote connection. How do I get this to work through dropbear?

x0vncserver and x11vnc extensions let you use the native screen.

You can also use x11vnc with SSL
