Re: Clipboard and KeePass

I've only successfully used the clibboard in this way by running both
vncconfig and autocutsel together.  In my X Windows session I have them both
run in the background without windows.  The autocutsel command synchronizes
the three or four clipboards in modern X Windows and vncconfig gets the rest.
 It's sometimes called xautocutsel depending on whose Unix you're using. 
Until someone stops that nonsense we're stuck with vncconfig and autocutsel
together.

Clipboard and KeePass

Mats Gustafsson — 2012-05-23T08:42:15

Hi,

I am using TigerVNC-1.2.0-6, server and viewer, on two computers running 
Linux.
On the computer hosting the server I would like to run the password 
program KeePass, but I cannot get copy to work in that program.
If I run Keepass local, i.e. not through TigerVNC, I can copy a password 
in KeePass, it shows up in the clipboard and I can paste it wherever I 
want. But, if i run KeePass on the server through TigerVNC nothing 
happens when I try to do a copy. In all other programs (at least the 
ones I have tried it on) copy works as expected.
Anyone that has a clue to what the issue might be?

Many thanks for any support!

/Mats

Re: Dual Monitor VNC

Adam Tkac — 2012-05-21T09:29:01

Hello Eric,

AFAIK this is known problem in the 1.1.X series. Perhaps you can check if the
1.2.0 viewer fixes this issue.

Keyboard Focus limitations in FullScreen mode

2012-05-17T16:41:24

Hi All,

Sorry if this is duplicated, I sent the original two days ago and haven't seen it yet.

I have two machines running RHEL 6.2. I am using tiger vnc-1.0.90 viewer on one machine and the same version of the server on the other.  The machine with the viewer has two monitors.  I'd like to be able to run a full screen VNC session on one monitor and be able to use the second monitor for local tasks.  What i get when I run the client in fullscreen is that the mouse works fine between the two monitors, i.e. i can click and launch firefox on the local head while the other head is in fullscreen mode, but the keyboard does not follow the mouse focus.  As a result, if I click the firefox address bar on the local head and start typing, the keystrokes go to the remote session.  Everything works fine in windowed mode.

Is it possible to have the keyboard focus follow the mouse focus, or am I out of luck?

Thanks

Dual Monitor VNC

Eric C. — 2012-05-17T15:02:15

I'm running RedHat 6.1 with TigerVNC 1.0.90 and I was wondering if you
could help me with a problem. I'm trying to run VNC on my local machine as
both the server and client. I have a dual monitor setup working with each
at a resolution of 1920x1080. I want to run VNC in fullscreen mode and
occupy both monitors. I launch it with

vncserver -geometry 3840x1080 :1

Then I connect with

vncviewer FullScreen=1 :1

But the problem is it only creates a session of size 1920x1080, split
between the two monitors with black space on the other side. I know I've
gotten this to work on other computers in the network with similar setups,
so I'm not sure what's wrong with mine. I didn't find anything on a search.
Thanks.

Re: Save last server name?

Manish Maheshwari — 2012-05-09T16:02:47

While reading the vncviewer.cxx, i found that the main() reads the
command line arguments and assign that as server name. I changed the
Target value for vncviewer.exe to "vncviewer,exe servername:portno"
and now it directly ask for password.

You can change the target value of exe, by rightclick on exe icon ->
properties -> target on windows machines.

That is not completely what i was looking for, but is a good work around.

Save last server name?

Manish Maheshwari — 2012-05-07T20:23:16

Is there an option which can save last server name used in the viewer prompt?
Every time I click on TigerVNC Viewer, i need to fill the full path of
server and port number.
I believe turboVNC remembers last used server and can even get to
previous ones from dropdown list.

I am using TigerVNC version 1.2.0 on Windows-7 64bit.

Thanks in Advance.

Re: Can't connect from linux to windows using ssh

Fernando Lozano — 2012-04-26T18:27:55

Hi,

Curious info: If I try "telnet 127.0.0.1 5900" after connecting using 
ssh to the windows machine, I get the same error on the ssh client. On 
the telnet client I get:

Connection closed by foreign host.

I can't imagine what could be different for a windows client (which can 
connect ok) and a linux client (who cannot). To the windows server they 
should be the same. :-(

If I try a telnet from a windows client (using putty) through the tunnel 
I get "RFB 003.008" and then the connection is closed.

Re: Can't connect from linux to windows using ssh

Fernando Lozano — 2012-04-26T18:15:26

Hi,

Yes I have, but got no replies so far. :-(

I'll try changing the ssh server on the windows machine. Any suggestions?

I was using FreeSSHd because it was the only one I tried which worked 
with domain accounts for password-based authentication. All others 
worked only with local computer accounts. My domain controller is a 
Samba server but everything else (including a MS SQL Server and an ASP 
app) use my domain accounts fine.

Re: Fed 16 tigervnc and androidVNC via ConnectBot SSH forwarding?

Fernando Lozano — 2012-04-26T17:49:23

Hi,

Found the culprint: SELinux was preventing port forward. I used 
"setenforce 0" to disable SELinux and then tunneled VNC connections 
started to work.

Not that I can connect from linux and android to a linux vnc server 
though ssh, I have to find why I can't from linux/android to Windows 
through ssh (but this is another thread).

Re: Fed 16 tigervnc and androidVNC via ConnectBot SSH forwarding?

Fernando Lozano — 2012-04-26T12:51:25

Hi,


Without the ssh tunnel it works ok. But if I try using the tunnel 
(androidVNC connects to localhost:1, the tunnel redirects local port 
5901 to localhost:5901 -- localhost for ssh is the connected server)  I 
get "vnc cvonnection failed! null".

The ssh part is ok because I can run shell commands.

Re: command line installation on windows7

Jernej Simončič — 2012-04-25T19:34:32


The installer is Inno Setup, which supports silent install with
/SILENT and /VERYSILENT switches (/SILENT will show the progress
dialog, while /VERYSILENT won't show anything).

You can read more about the command-line parameters here:
<http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/topic_setupcmdline.htm>

The install script source is here:
<http://tigervnc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tigervnc/trunk/release/tigervnc.iss.in?view=markup>
but the only things that are interesting there are the task names,
installservice and startservice, which you can control with /TASKS
parameter.

We have set of tools used in small group and its easy to have silent

Can't connect from linux to windows using ssh

Fernando Lozano — 2012-04-18T13:45:56

Hi there,

I have a situation where a vnc client from windows can connect to a vnc 
server on windows (both win7). But from a Linux client (Fedora 14 or 15) 
it won't work.

The windows server runs Tightvnc and freesshd. On the windows client, 
both the native and the java tightvnc viewer works. tigervnc also works 
fine. I use putty to create the ssh tunnels

On the linux client, I tried tigervnc (which is the one included by 
Fedora) and the tigervnc java viewer, both failed. tigervnc (vncviewer 
command) fails with:

  CConn:       connected to host localhost port 5900
  main:        End of stream

The Java tightvnc viewer gives EOFException

I know the ssh connection works on linux because I can type cmd.exe 
commands. If I use the native ssh client (openssh) the ssh connections 
is terminated when any vnc client tried to connect with errror:

buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes 4 than in buffer 0
buffer_get_string_ret: cannot extract length

But if I use putty on linux the ssh connection keeps work

Re: TigerVNC 1.2.0 - Seems like a huge stepbackwards from a usability and functionality perspective?

Peter Åstrand — 2012-04-12T12:14:18

Hi, please see comments inline:


This is correct; this is unfortunately a regression for the Windows 
client.



.vnc files are currently not supported. When it comes to a runtime icon 
for vncviewer, this was recently fixed, so that will be included in the 
next release.



Yes, there are several outstanding issues with full screen, also with 
multiple monitors. We will work on this during the following months.



It seems like we have never written any ChangeLog. I agree that this is a 
drawback. We are currently lacking resources for documentation and this 
type of release work.

What we have, though, is the low-level technical Subversion log. I'm 
attaching a copy (generated by the svn-changelog-between-tags utility I've 
written, see https://sourceforge.net/projects/svntoolbox/).



Earlier, there were two separate clients: One for Windows and one for 
UNIX. This was problematic for a number of reasons:

* Having to maintain two separate implementations took a lot of time.

* The functionality was not
