performance

2001-01-08 Thread Idit Neuman

Did someone do any tests of performance to compare between vnc and other
remote display programs?
Does somebody know where can I find comparison like that?

Subject:icon at the rigth of the

I installed VNC on 3 pc's without any problems. But at the 4th (for me
the most important) I don't see a VNC-server icon at the rigth of the
taskbar.

Did you download a version without icon; can you connect to the server ?

I connect the 2 pc's directly (without using internet). How is it
possible for me to get the IP-address of the PC. Normally, I'm hovering
over the VNC-server icon.
The 4th pc is running under windows 98 dutch version.

You should give each pc an IP-adress.  This can be done by choosing Network in the 
Control Panel.
Use several adresses in the range 192.168.x.x


Note: I've readed the FAQ's and other mailing, but I can't get the
answer

Thanks in advance for your answer.

BUG: Unable to unlock workstation after locking it

2001-01-08 Thread dgun

After I lock an NT workstation (NT4/SP5 using domain login), I cannot unlock
it a second time from vncviewer.  The mouse functions properly and I can use
the tab key to move around, but I can't enter any characters.  It appears from
the behavior that the ctrl or alt key is stuck, but repeatedly pressing these
keys didn't fix anything.  This problem happens with vncviewer on linux,
hp-ux, and windows, so it appears to be a server problem.  I am using the
3.3.3r7 server.

After digging through the archives, I found someone mentioned that using the
LEFT ctrl-alt sequence might avoid this problem, but since the server is two
hours away, I'm not at liberty to test that at the moment.  Is there a fix for
this problem?  Is this a problem with older versions of VNC?

By the way, the 3.3.3r2 vncviewer program claims it is 3.3.3r1.  Maybe the
code didn't change between the two versions?  A binary diff shows that they
are different.

How would the apps running on the remote machine see the printer? (this
isn't intended to sound like a flame). In unix the printers are
installed/maintained by root using printcap (or equivilant), so your vnc
server can't install/unistall printers willy nilly. The applications are
running in plain unix space, and just so happen to be talking to a GUI
controller, which happens to also be a desktop controller. So to
applications print to vnc, you would have to enable each app (recompile
with a vnc print lib).

For what it's worth I have a possible solution. Just like with a fax
print driver, you can send meta info with the print job to the driver
(in that case the fax #), you send some sort of session key. The vnc
print daemon picks this up, redirects it to your own vnc server process,
which then tunnels it to your client, which then prints it.

Bear in mind that we can have lots of users & vnc servers running on the
same machine, so inter-process security could be an issue. However every
process belongs to another, so by looking back up the tree you could
tell which vnc process printed the job. But even that can break, bum.
The rest is left as an exercise for the reader :-).

Having identified which vnc server asked for the print is not the end of
it. With non-shared vnc servers, the vnc session can be snatched away
from you at any moment. I think that you need a modification so that the
print session belongs to the vnc client instanciation, not to the vnc
server per se.

Also what about protocol versions? Some clients will support the
vnc-print, some wouln't, similarly with serrvers. This can be resolved
with "masonic handshakes". But what sort of printer control protocol
should we use? I have vnc on mac+win+linux, all of which control their
printers in different ways. I would suggest that the vnc-server sees
your printer in the way its OS would normally expect to see a spooler.
Then the vnc-print protocol sorts the "shares".

So far as print protocol is concered, I don't see too much a problem (ha
ha). our vnc-print provides a spooler, so long as both ends know what is
connected, then we should all be happy. So if you had say, a GDI
printer, on your vnc-client m/c, you would want the vnc-server end to
know this. The application on the vnc-server m/c would need to: a) know
this is a GDI printer, and b) be able to print GDI. And the same for
HPCL etc. So iff I can get my KOffice app to print GDI, then it's none
of the spooler's business, just so long as the instructions come out OK
at the actual printer. Clealy there should be some chat, based on the
vnc-server's OS way of talking to printers+spoolers, to determine which
kind of printer hangs of the back end.

There is an existing model that you might like to play with: a Psion's
remote printing. The Psion sits in its cradle with a spooler running on
your desktop m/c. You select the PsionPrint printer in the Psion, and
print your document to it. The PsionPrint forwards this down the link
cable to your PC, where it gets spooled. This spooler is itself a native
desktop app, that can send the printjobs onto any visible printer. So
the vnc-print server module could be quite stupid, and just forward data
to the vnc-client. It's up to the vnc-client to spool manage and worry
about PS or HPCL errors or out-of-paper etc.

Any good?

Perhaps you could configure the print output on the server to "print to
file" (I assume this is an option under Unix, too), and have a process
watching the directory such output was printed too.  The process, on seeing
a new file, would then transfer the data via the VNC connection and have it
printed at the other end.

Just a thought.  Cheers,

What if you don't have write permission on that drive. Also some
applications get a bit arsy and loose the working directory if you print
to another folder. Also what about security? Just because user fred
created this file, does not mean that this print file was intended for
this instanciation of fred. Much better to have a print daemon that
understands these things. On mac/Win the problem vanishes as there is
only one user at any particular time.

I do not understand why you need the 2nd (reverse) ssh. You can
forward the home to work and work to home on the initial ssh.

Since I'm forwarding a lot of ports I have it on my ~/.ssh/config like
this (I also connect to one computer at work and work on another):

LocalForward 5910  bsw1:5910 # view LOAD VNC on bsw1
LocalForward 5944  linux:5944# work on X (VNC) Emacs

RemoteForward 5901 ekc-5:5900# connect to 2nd Home computer

I'm connecting from ekc-1 (at home ) to linux (at work).
The net nnection is:

   ekc-1 |FW| ---(internet)--- |FW| linux
ekc-5 __| |___bsw1___PC___(more)

To work from home (ekc-1 or ekc-5) on my emacs session, I connect to
ekc-1:44, to work on home PC (ekc-5) from my PC at work I connect to
linux:1. So, single ssh should suffice (I also forward telnet and X).

Ehud.

Re: VNC and Firewalls, a story.

2001-01-08 Thread BJ Blanchard

In order to avoid the multiple nested ssh's, use a port redirector (eg. redir).

On my firewall, I redirect port 24 to port 22 on my Solaris box, so from home I do:  
ssh -p 24 ...

This should increase your performance, as well as simplify your command line.

Re: vncserver configuration

2001-01-08 Thread Grant McDorman

RGB:

Your RGB database is in /usr/openwin/lib, not bin. (Actually, there are
probably links in lib to /usr/openwin/lib/X11.) The RGB database is a data
file, not a program, so in every installation it will be in 'lib' or
'lib/X11'.

Can't open display:

Is the server still there; i.e. can you connect to it with the viewer?
If so, did you disable the Unix domain connections to get around the problem
described in FAQ #12? If so, you must use 'DISPLAY=myhost:2', not
'DISPLAY=:2' in your ~/.vnc/xstartup. (DISPLAY=:2 uses the file
/tmp/.X11-unix/X2, which, by default, requires root privilege to create.)
['myhost' is, of course, your hostname.]

Subject: vncserver configuration


I'm trying to get VNC working with a laptop (Win98) and two Solaris boxes.
Basically I want to run vncviewer on one of the boxes (Solaris) to access
the vncservers on both the Win98 box and the second Solaris box. Actually it
doesn't matter if I'm running vncviewer or the Java viewer because the
problem I'm running into is the same...

I've had success getting vncviewer to display and access my Win98 desktop
but not the Solaris vncserver. I don't really understand what the vncserver
script is supposed to do, therefore, I may have the box (Solaris) running
the vncserver set up incorrectly with respect to X.

When I connect to the server via a browser or vncviewer, I only see a black
screen where I expect to see the desktop.

The Solaris server is running Openwindows (CDE version 1.2) and that is the
part I don't  understand. Is VNC basically for use with a headless server
that isn't running a window manager or does it coexist with the window
manager that is already in place. I only ask this because I think the
vncserver script tries to launch a window manager.

I've read the FAQ, etc. but still don't really know how to set this up.

Hmm, I'll take a look - haven't ever seen this myself.

OK, I discovered that windows vncviewer does NOT cause this problem.  However,
when the problem was caused by the linux vncviewer, the windows vncviewer also had
the problem (since I tried linux first, then windows).  So it definitely looks
like a server problem.  I'll try an older server and see if the problem goes away.

Otherwise, anyone know of a fix?
