| If I run x11vnc as follows:
|
| x11vnc -tightfilexfer -ssl -usepw -ncache 10
|
| and then try to connect with firefox to https://localhost:5900 I get the
| following error:
|
| RFB 003.008
|
| I'm thinking this has something to do with a wrong or missing .jar file,
| but I don't want to report a bug if this is a PEBKAC situation. Am I
| doing something wrong here?
In general, you need to enable serving the java applet via http explicitly.
The easiest way is to add the option '-http'. That way x11vnc tries to
locate the correct jar file directory automatically (i.e. relative to itself).
If that doesn't find the jar file location use the '-httpdir' option, e.g.
-httpdir /path/to/classes/ssl
On debian they stopped shipping the x11vnc java applet jar files a year or
so. They are free to start shipping them again:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500970
Until they do, I recommend you download an x11vnc source tarball, e.g.
x11vnc-0.9.6.tar.gz, unpack it and supply this:
-httpdir /path/to/x11vnc-0.9.6/classes/ssl
Some misc notes:
None of the x11vnc java applets support TightVNC filetransfer.
The UltraViewerSSL.jar and SignedUltraViewerSSL.jar ones support
UltraVNC filexfer. (e.g. https://localhost:5900/ultrasigned.vnc)
With '-ncache 10' the java applet in your web browser will
probably run out of memory (unless the screen is small, -ncache
10 will require 50-100MB on both sides). So drop the ncache
value or don't use the option.
