    Thanks mssm, unfortunately, I have an amd64 system, and I'm running Dapper, and the repositories don't exist yet for me.

    Re: HOWTO: Set up VNC server with resumable sessions

    Tichondrius,

    Any insight as to why:

    # sudo /usr/bin/Xvnc :2 -query localhost -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16 -once -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc -dontdisconnect -nevershared -rfbauth /root/.vncpasswd

    yields:

    Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
    MAXSOCKS=1000
    Segmentation fault



    Again, I'm on amd64 using tightvncserver and xinetd.

    Thanks.

    Re: HOWTO: Set up VNC server with resumable sessions

    Where Would I be able to add the IdelTimeout.
    Right after the end of /etc/xvnc?

    service Xvnc
    {
    type = UNLISTED
    disable = no
    socket_type = stream
    protocol = tcp
    wait = yes
    user = root
    server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
    server_args = -inetd :1 -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 -once -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc -DisconnectClients=0 -NeverShared passwordFile=/root/.vncpasswd
    port = 5901
    ==> idletimeout -300
    }

    Or where?

    Re: HOWTO: Set up VNC server with resumable sessions

    Hi, All...

    I'm a new kubuntu user, and I'm very interested in this thread. I'm a little baffled though by the fact that I have KDE rather than Gnome, and I don't know what to do with the initial part concerning settings for XDMCP??

    Would someone please give me some suggestions??

    Thanks...

    look at the HOWTO again:

    An idle VNC client will be disconnected after one hour, but this can be changed by using the "-IdleTimeout" option in the server_args line in /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc. For example, you can add "-IdleTimeout 300" to change it to 5 minutes.
    You have to add it on the "server_args = ...." line:

    Code:
    server_args = -inetd :1 -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 -once -IdleTimeout 300 -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc -DisconnectClients=0 -NeverShared passwordFile=/root/.vncpasswd

    Re: HOWTO: Set up VNC server with resumable sessions

    How would I go about adding the ability to connect to my server through a web based java client?

    You might try something like SSL Explorer.

    However, this thread related mainly to connecting securely to your computer using VNC.

    that's what I meant, Vnc's java applet embedded in a webpage.

    Re: HOWTO: Set up VNC server with resumable sessions

    thanks Tichondrius for the great info. All is working for me as you lay it out. However, I'm trying to get vnc4config to work and have met with failure thus far.

    If I have the working INETD model on the go, and try:
    Code:
    ~$ sudo vnc4config -display 0 -connect myhost:myport
    I get the error:
    Code:
    vnc4config: unable to open display "0"
    and if I use
    Code:
    ~$ sudo vnc4config -display :0 -connect myhost:myport
    I get:
    Code:
    No VNC extension on display :0

    (the same error is observed if I try -display 1 or variations such as -display localhost:0 or -display localhost:1 etc...)

    So I tried starting the Xvnc manually with the one liner starting with:
    Code:
    ~$ sudo Xvnc :2 -query localhost -geometry .....
    which starts the Xvnc server nicely with the following:

    Code:
    Xvnc version 4.0 - built Apr 19 2005 04:26:49
    Underlying X server release 40200000, The XFree86 Project, Inc

     vncext:      VNC extension running!
     vncext:      Listening for VNC connections on port 5902
     vncext:      created VNC server for screen 0
    so I try from another terminal:
    Code:
    ~$ sudo vnc4config -display :2 -connect myhost:myport
    which yeilds:

    Code:
    Xlib: connection to ":2.0" refused by server
    Xlib: No protocol specified
    vnc4config: unable to open display ":2"
    and in the terminal runing the Xvnc, this audit appears:
    Code:
    AUDIT: Sat Feb 18 23:00:38 2006: 22313 Xvnc: client 5 rejected from local host
    The pc at MYHOST is running a listening VNC viewer which I can connect to with a WinVNC 'add new client' option. From my reading I thought vncconfig would start Xvnc if the -connect option was given which does not seem to be the case, but if there is a manually started Xvnc running, there does seem to be some interactivity between vncconfig and the Xvnc server.

    As you obviously know your stuff, any chance you could tell me if you can get vnc4config to initiate a connection to a remote server running a listening vnc viewer?
