Easy networking?

Go ahead and start vncserver up. And make sure you have given permission to CONTROL under Remote Desktop Preferences

When I start "vncserver" it says:

New "ivan-desktop:1 (ivan)" <---(whidch is the computer's name)

But I don't want a NEW thingy ... I want the session/desktop/thingy that's already opened there!

!

Where did I mess up now?

Just start it up. Don't worry about that at this time

Ok, it's up...Still no realtime movements...on my mom's computer the mouse laying dead...

Have you given permissions to CONTROL in System->Preferences->Remote Desktop ?

Yes I did...

Also, there's no sound here from the other computer and the video is sucky...like at 8-bit or something...I changed the setting on KRDC to 24-Bit and still looks sucky...

I sent you a PM

Ok, thanks to Hobo I fixed this issue.

I installed x11vnc on both computers.

Code:

sudo apt-get install x11vnc

and I closed down all other vnc processes. Then I ran:

Code:

x11vnc

on a Terminal in Ubuntu and it shows a whole mess of output. it kinda logs everything you do every 2 seconds.

Then on Kubuntu I went to the Konsole and I entered:

Code:

krdc vnc:/<mama's IP>:1

Entered the password when it prompted me to and VIOLA!

Everything works realtime! A little slow due to bandwidth issues but it's cool!!

This thread can be marked as SOLVED. But sadly that plugin was removed from the forums
