vnc Solaris 2.6 CDE (strange error message)
I am currently trying to make VNC work under Solaris 2.6, using CDE. I've searched the mailing lists for clues, but haven't found anything directly related to my particular problem. Having performed the basic tasks mentioned in the README file of the installation tar-file, I start the server without arguments. (vncserver) on the machine ypch12. This yields lines on standard out : (omitting the password part) Nex 'X' desktop is ypch12:1 Starting applications specified in /export/home/tba/7.55/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /export/home/tba/7.55/.vnc/ypch12:1.log So far so good.

Can it be related to some of my experiments with the vncserver wrapper script (which is now the default one) ? I removed all the vnc files, unpacked the tar file again, and changed the vncserver script as follows : 1) perl path changed to /usr/local/bin/perl 2) $vncClasses is changed to /export/home/tba/Macro/classes And of course, I moved the contents of the classes directory to the $vncClasses path. I have disable access control for both local and remote users (only for this purpose) "xhost" yields : 'access control disabled, clients can connect from any host' INET:localhost INET:ypch12 LOCAL: 'which xrdb' yields /usr/openwin/bin/xrdb (so the $PATH settings should be OK) Any help would be greatly appreciated. regards Tor Bye Andersen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.stibo-ds.com - To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -

Could you explain this a bit further? If you are talking about the windowing system that Solaris normally displays, then it should just be a matter of starting the CDE in the VNC startup scripts (I forget how...). If you are talking about taking what is displayed on a Solaris monitor and running that through VNC, then you have another issue entirely. The short answer is that no, you can't do that with VNC. The long answer is that you could, but it would probably involve hacking both VNC and X (has anyone else already tried this?). In this case, probably the best thing is to have VNC running, access VNC by remote, and if you ever log onto the Solaris machine locally, then you can use the VNC viewer to access the VNC session that is already running. > >From a PC with VNC viewer I can connect to unix box and start any > >application with its own Gui that I like; however we are looking for an > >interactive functionality that PCanywhere brings, which captures all the > >windows from one PC into another PC. -- Mark S.

Known Problems in version 3.3.3R2
There is a known bug with this release, which fortunately has an
easy workaround: Before you start the VNC server you need to insert
these two lines in your startup file ($HOME/.vnc/xstartup), right
after the first line in the file:
DISPLAY=unix${DISPLAY}
export DISPLAY

Yes, this question comes up about twice a week. Look in the "contributed" section of http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc for "x0rfbserver". It does not require either X or VNC to be rebuilt; it's just an app that you run which then delivers an existing X desktop to clients via RFB. -- Joe -- Joe Knapka "It was just a maddened crocodile hidden in a flower bed.

Quick question about device support
Hi, I have a number of WinCE devices and wanted to know if anyone has successfully set up VNC on them. Q#1 - Will VNC work with Windows CE 2.11 and 3.0 ? Q#2 - If so, has anyone successfully used a Casio E-125 or Fujitsu PenCentra 130T ? I did notice that the screens are compiled for the wide screen view and I can't see the options buttons while trying to use my Casio E-125. I don't know if anyone has a fix for this. A little tidbit about my project (and why I need your help!) I'd like to control my pc (win98 pc) via my handheld. The PC is sitting in my trunk running Winamp (MP3) as well as the Delorme GSP mapping software (more apps soon to come). Originally I thought about using a 4" LCD display in the front of the car, but then I'd need a keyboard and mouse. With the CE I have the touchscreen. My best option would be the Fujitsu full screen CE (HPC Pro 2.11). For some reason, VNC looks like it find the machine when I use the IP (host name gives an error right away) but nothing happens. It never registers on the server. I'm using a serial cable (laplink file transfer type) b/w the PC and handheld. Activesync runs just fine, but VNC doesn't want to work. Can anyone help?
