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

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.

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.

regards
Manish

command line installation on windows7

Manish Maheshwari — 2012-04-25T18:59:31

Does anyone knows how can we install TigerVNC on Windows7-64 bit using
command line (batch script)?
We have set of tools used in small group and its easy to have silent
install option using command line (without installation GUI)

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

TigerVNC 1.2.0 - Seems like a huge step backwards from a usability and functionality perspective?

Mark Mielke — 2012-04-12T08:22:46

Hi all:

I immediately hit these when upgrading: (Windows 7 / 64-bit)

1) My .vnc files no longer work. And it doesn't seem like I can "Save" 
options any more? For those of us who use VNC heavily, and have several 
of these files to maintain settings, this is a huge step backwards.

2) The logo for vncviewer.exe is missing, which also means that the .vnc 
files all looked busted. Is this a bug?

3) Full screen mode now displays scroll bars cutting off the screen and 
making it inconvenient to scroll around. It's always been excellent at 
this - panning to reach the edges instead of scrollbars, especially when 
it only needed an extra pixel or so (I think TigerVNC itself loses a 
pixel somehow?). With scroll bars, the interface is effectively unusable 
for those of us who use VNC as a remote desktop. Sure, I could make the 
resolution of the target display 1344x766 or some odd value and lose 
pixels... but why?

I checked the mailing list archives, and I don't think I understand. The 
release announcement fo

Fed 16 tigervnc and androidVNC via ConnectBot SSHforwarding?

Stephen Fierbaugh — 2012-04-09T22:25:51

Is TigerVNC server compatible with androidVNC client?  Is anyone 
actually doing this forwarded through ConnectBot SSH?  Thanks.

I have a Fedora 16 server running TigerVNC which I can vncviewer 
(v1.1.0) into from a Fedora 15 box using -via.  That all works fine.  
But I cannot access it from androidVNC 0.5.0.  Nor can I get to it from 
Mint's Vinagre 3.2.1 Remote Desktop Viewer, again SSH tunneling to port 
5901.

I've been unable to find anything via Google that suggests any problems 
or solutions.  Any suggestions or sample settings would be much 
appreciated.  Thanks!

build under ubuntu

pablo platt — 2012-04-03T16:46:48

Hi,

I'm trying to build under ubuntu 11.10 32bit.

In the configure step I'm getting a warning:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-fontdir,
--with-dri-driver-path

In the make step I'm getting an error:
In file included from glxdriswrast.c:39:0:
/usr/include/GL/internal/dri_interface.h:51:17: fatal error: drm.h: No such
file or directory

Can you please explain how to fix the warning and error?



This is what I'm trying to do following BUILDING.txt:

build on windows

pablo platt — 2012-04-02T18:29:52

Hi,

I've tried to follow the build instructions I found here
http://tigervnc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tigervnc/buildscripts/xc/
I've installed MinGW, MinGW-w64, JDK, CMake 2.8, libjpeg-turbo (when
installing 32 it doesn't let you install the 64 version), and GnuTLS
but than I'm not sure what to run.
The buildtiger script is a bash script, how can I run it on windows?

Do I have to use a 64bit XP machine to build or can I use a 32bit machine?

If it's easier to cross compile on linux, can you please explain how?
The readme left it as an exercise for the reader.

Is it suppose to work on vista and win7?

When compiling the windows version, will I get a portable executable file
or will it make any changes to the registry or other files on the system?

Thanks

vncserver not starting after a bad restart.

Michael D. Setzer II — 2012-03-24T07:55:02

I've had the issue of the vncserver not starting after a bad restart 
where the /tmp/.X11-unix/X79 file has not been deleted during the 
shutdown (Usually a power outage). 

My current solution has been to have a script in cron.hourly that 
checks if the status is running, and if not it deletes the 
/tmp/.X11-unix/X79 file and then starts the service. 

Is there a better method to have it delete the file during the start 
process? Not sure if something else is supose to delete this file if 
it wasn't deleted during a normal shutdown.

 Before I would have to manually ssh into the machines to delete 
the file, and manually restart the service. (now systemctl). 

Fedora 16 by the way.

TigernVNC 1.1.90 Security

Rudy J. Richardson — 2012-03-04T23:42:47

Will future versions of TigerVNC incorporate additional security features 
such as SSH tunneling, or should users set up a separate SSH tunnel in 
conjunction with TigerVNC? Thank you.

TigerVNC 1.1.90 Mac Caps Lock Issue

Rudy J. Richardson — 2012-03-04T16:37:14

I am using TigerVNC 1.1.90 Mac OSX (10.7.3) to connect to a linux machine 
(LinuxMint 12 KDE) on my LAN running linux generic kernel 3.0.0.16. 
Sometimes when I connect, the keyboard seems to have the Caps Lock 
engaged--all characters typed are uppercase. However, this is not 
consistent. It seems to be "random", but I have not isolated the variables 
that trigger this behavior. I have seen previous posts indicating that 
this was a bug that had been fixed, but perhaps it has cropped up again.

It could be relevant that I am using an IBM Model M keyboard connected via 
a usb switch, and I have remapped the Caps Lock key to be the Apple 
Command key. This has worked out extremely well for most applications.

Otherwise, TigerVNC is excellent. I get good speed and image quality even 
at full screen on 2 monitors at 1920x1200, and I can remotely run 
graphics-intensive applications on the linux machine, such as YASARA for 
molecular modeling.

Thanks.

please bring back toolbar for VNC viewer!

Paul Wilson — 2012-03-02T03:57:15

I have seen this requested in another post,but just putting my vote for the
return of the helper Toolbar .
I frequently use Control-Alt-Delete on windows to Login and its just
annoying having to use F8.

Also I'm missing the Host Drop down where I can select one of the last 5-10
hosts I used very handy.

so there are my two most loved features of the old VNC viewer.

thanks

VNCViewer security with reverse-connection

Caleb Langeslag — 2012-02-25T21:58:04

Is there any way to configure the TigerVNC viewer (in listening mode)
to be the TLS server (the one with the private key), or can only the
TigerVNC server be such? If not, is there ANY way to secure VNC
reverse-connections (where the server connects to the client)?

And if not, what would be a reasonable cross-platform option of
securing the connection?
 - Should I write some TLS tunnelling client that's bundled with the server?
 - Should I use IPsec?
 - Should I beat the crap out of and thoroughly limit OpenVPN to make
it work that way?

TigerVNC 1.1.90 crashing on Windows XP

William Hooper — 2012-02-01T01:39:27

Hello all,

I would like some help troubleshooting an issue with TigerVNC version
1.1.90 (built on Dec 31 2011 at 12:31:22).  The machine is a Windows
XP Media Center Edition.  I'm running VNC in service mode.  The
crashes seem pretty frequent when I'm trying to use VNC.  It seems
that opening Internet Explorer may trigger the crash.  Here is the
info Windows gives for the error:

Error signature
szAppName: winvnc4.exe szAppVer: 1.1.90.0 szModName: unknown
szModVer: 0.0.0.0 offset: 00000000

Any ideas?  Is there any other logging I can turn on to provide more
information?

How to use existing running X server as a vncserver? - again

Philip Rhoades — 2012-01-16T00:47:06

People,

On the server (Fedora 14 x86_64) I have installed:

   tigervnc-server-module-1.0.90-0.25.20100813svn4123.fc14.x86_64

and I have created /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-vnc.conf with lines:

Section "Module"
     Load "vnc"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
     Identifier "VNC"
     Option "SecurityTypes" "VncAuth"
     Option "UserPasswdVerifier" "VncAuth"
     Option "PasswordFile" "/home/phil/.vnc/passwd"
EndSection

and created the vncpasswd, restarted X, (and eventually rebooted), 
tried to connect from a client machine with:

   vncviewer server:0
   vncviewer server:5900:0

but whatever I do I still get the "111" error . .

It appears that there is just nothing listening on the 5900 port?  
(confirmed with ps and netstat).

I want to get this working because I have been using x11vnc recently 
but it seems to crash X regularly (once a day) . .

Any help would be appreciated . .

Thanks,

Phil.

Composite extension, why was it removed?

sebastian nielsen — 2011-12-26T06:59:00

Why was the composite extension completely removed from the TigerVNC
package? I found a post in the list SVN annouce archive that said it
was incompatible with some legacy systems and provided bad results,
and in new systems its not required at all.
( http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.vnc.tigervnc.scm/1054 )

My suggestion is that Composite extension is readded to the TigerVNC
package, but default disabled, and has to be enabled with +composite.
(2 new commandline options could be added: +/-composite : Enables or
disables composte extension, like +/- render), then it wont cause any
problems with legacy RHEL < 5 systems.

I currently use VNC to serve a application terminal server via xinetd
via Xvnc -inetd, and its numerous applications that REQUIRE
"composite" to be present and refuse to launch at all if Composite is
not present.
Even if its works bad, does bad rendering and is incompatible with
some systems, at least make it available for enabling/disabling at the
command line "at your own risk".
