vncviewer /listen on Linux

mollien · Post by **mollien** » 2005-08-15 17:14

I have been using SC for a while under XP, which worked great. Fantastic job on that!! Now, I have decided to make the switch to Linux.

Is it possible to get a Linux viewer in listen mode so I can do remote support to win clients?

I have tried to start vncviewer /listen in a shell and it appears to accept connections (as it shows that a valid connection has been made), but I cannot seem to get the graphical window to pop up.

I am using Mepis with KDE, UltraVNC SC for the remote clients and tried various different viewers. Is there one specific that I should use under Linux?

Thanks!

SingleClient don't contain RFB protocol, removed from Rudi !

Why except smaller size of SC ?
Only Rudi can answer.

This goes beyond me. Can you elaborate?

RFB = Remote Frame Buffer, the protocol used between all VNC flavor !

SC work only on windows because there removed RFB protocol and need the special Ultra vncviewer can understand the SingleClick
winvnc send a special paquet request to viewer accept or refuse the incoming connection.

there a little confusion for users if winvnc name of SingleClick (winvncsc) don't support the RFB protocol !

U can use wine and install UltraVNC under Linux.

I have been able to get this scenario to work.

using tightvnc: vncviewer -listen -encodings "hextile copyrect"

This command string finally allowed the graphic window to successfully complete drawing and a vnc session was established; worked fine.

I've tried to run the ultravnc vncwiewer under wine; it does run, but I cannot start with the /listen parameter.

How do you connect to this listener once sc had made a connection?

I installed the java viewer- I can't seem to get it to run with these parameters though...

Code: Select all

java VncViewer -listen -encodings "hextile copyrect"

comes back with an error that I need HOST / PORT parameters

any ideas anyone? I would LOVE to make this work on my mac.
