I'm still looking for a solution to make the clipboard in TightVNC work.
Perhaps I'm running the wrong version of tightVNC?
x11vnc --version reports:
x11vnc: 0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10
That seems rather old. I just did
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
so apparently this is the latest version?
I've seen another article that recommended vncconfig. However it is not presently installed. When run I get this:
Code:
$ vncconfig --help
No command 'vncconfig' found, did you mean:
Command 'vnc4config' from package 'vnc4server' (universe)
vncconfig: command not found
I'm using the setup for x11vnc described on this page:
I found this article that indicates I can use autocutsel instead of the (unavailable) vncconfig.
I verified that /usr/bin/autocutsel is present.
I edited /lib/systemd/system/x11vnc.service
To look like this:
Code:
[Unit]
Description=Start x11vnc at startup.
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -auth guess -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -rfbport 5900 -shared
ExecStart=/usr/bin/autocutsel -s PRIMARY -fork
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
After restarting the system, TightVNC was not available. The viewer reported the server "actively refused the connection".
I edited /lib/systemd/system/x11vnc.service again to remove the autocutsel line, and restarted, and TightVNC is able to connect again. But the clipboard still doesn't work, so I'm back at the start.
