Re: TightVNC vs regular VNC
This is a problem for me, too. A number of our machines I control through VNC (Linux, Solaris, Win*). For Windows, I still have some running ORL VNC 3.3.3r9, some running TightVNC release and some TightVNC Preview. I would like to upgrade them all to TightVNC preview or 1.2 when it comes out, but short of using VNC to install another controller package, then using that to upgrade VNC, then uninstalling it and switching back to VNC. Anybody out there have any ideas on how to do an automatic update or even manual like some other packages do?

I added a folder for my TightVNC, added the command-line switch in the batch, and I was good to go... except I had some serious issues with the regini password field (REG_BINARY). I looked at the entry in Regedit, and it had AA BB CC DD EE FF GG HH for the value (obviously not literally) I eventually used: Password = REG_BINARY 0x8 0xDDCCBBAA 0xHHGGFFEE and that worked.

Re: VNC Commander [Minor bug]
In testing of VNC Commander (Love it, just hope, like others the VNCX control gets updated with Tight), I ran across a minor bug. The New Connection and Edit Connection boxes fill in the Display Name as the same as the Server Address when you focus into the Display Name box. However, it is doing this both when name is null and when name is already filled in. It shouldn't overwrite my name if I have put one in, or just want to correct spelling or something. It should, however, populate the Name box when there is nothing in it. Ryan P.

Re: [VNC] Java VNC screen size
Sorry...I was confusing issues. I keep on hoping someone will tell me how to get the Java viewer to resize to a particular resolution or percentage, similar to the VNCViewer 'Scale By' option. I don't think it supports this, but I am not sure why not...seems fairly straightforward (if only I could catch up on my C and java programming). I was reading into this post. That said, I will be using this for my Soalris boxes, it is an excellent method for simplifying the choice of ports. I currently use 59XY X is [5...8] specifying the screen size (5=640x480, 6=800x600, etc) Y is [0...4] specifying the color depth (0=8bit, 1=16bit, etc) This is sometimes hard for the users to remember :) Ryan - Original Message - From: "Edric Bulalacao" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 24, 2001 9:51 AM Subject: Re: [VNC] Java VNC screen size > I don't quite understand what you're trying to accomplish...please explain > further.

Re: Why "IdleTimeout" deactivated by "Poll Full Screen", is it normal?
Just a thought: If this is Win*, then it may have to do with the tray clock. Poll full screen should pick up that the clock number changed, and restart the counter. Not sure if this is the case, but it did occur to me. Seems like the counter should timeout if there are no events SENT to the server in the IdleTimeout time, though.

Those are the options if you clicked on the icon for VNC Server in the System Tray. Be sure you are clicking on the Task Bar button for the Viewer's connection.

Re: Programming text objects
Speaking of which (I think we're talking about Server->Client cut-n-paste, does anyone have any known situations where this fails? I am on a Win2K client running VNC 3.3.3r9 or TightVNC 1.2 (have tried both), and I connect to an XVnc server on a Solaris 7 box (newest Xvnc revision). I can't do server->client or client->server clipboard operations. Similarly, if I connect to my Win2K box through the java or application viewer, I also cannot. My client in this case is my home WinXP RC1 box. However, I am running the WinNT vdesk.exe utility to simulate multiple desktops on my work PC. Could this be my problem?

iXvnc (Xvnc -inetd) Resolution Issues
I am running XVNC 3.3.3r2 on a Solaris 7 box. I successfully set up the -inetd switch with multiple ports for different X server resolutions (multiple services, each with a different -geometry setting), per an old message found in the archives. I can connect on any of these ports. The vncviewer from my Win2K box starts up a screen of the specified size, but when the login comes up it is at 640x480. Logging in, the X desktop is the same resolution. Suggestions? Let me know if more clarification is needed.

-inetd and http access
Is there any way to get -inetd and -httpd -httpport working together. Most of the time, I will have a vncviewer accessible, but I was wondering if there was a way to get http access through the -inetd interface also. Everything I have tried has seg faulted on me. Basically, I started up a -inetd like normal, with -httpport as 5800 the port difference that is in the /etc/services, so that it should start a regular one on, say, 5952, and an http access on 5852. I was hoping to hit the 5952 port with the browser to kick it off, and then connect to the 5852 port. This, as I said, segfaults. Is there some obvious method of doing this that I am missing? Thanks!

Scale By Question
I know Scale By is experimental, but I was wondering if anybody who knows about it knows a reason why it has to be integer values. Is there no algorithm to get it to take, say 1/1.5? I say this because I run at a high res at work, and I like seeing my whole screen on lower res machines when I have to connect back to my computer. Amazingly enough, 1/2 is readable, but _really_ small :-) Ryan P.

Re: starting saved connection info: Invalid VNC server specified
If you are running winXX, you can use the VNC Connector program to easily manage multiple .vnc files. You can get VNC Connector at http://cardtable.sourceforge.net/tcltk . Put this executable and your .vnc files in the same directory, then launch the executable. Be sure to run the Select Viewer before trying to connect, and select your appropriate vncviewer.exe file. NOTE: This program uses the name of the .vnc file to populate its listbox, so name it something recognizable. For instance, I have: ArcApps01 1024x768x24.vnc and ArcWeb01 1024x768x24.vnc which show up in the listbox as: ArcApps01 1024x768x24 ArcDbs01 1024x768x24 The base program should work for *nix also, but I would have to wrap it for each platform, unless Tcl/Tk is available on your system. This program was hacked together by me for internal use, so I don't promise it to be bug-free, but it works fine for me. Let me know if you have any problems at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ryan P.

Re: Is this a VNC Bug?
This sounds like you put it in the Startup folder. In that case, the VNC
server won't start until a user with that in their Startup folder logs in.
Log in and go to Start->Programs->VNC->Administrative Tools->Install WinVNC
Service, then reboot and try to log in again.
HTH,

Grey Screen with X - Try this fix
Because of certain systems (namely Solaris, but appartently some RedHat and maybe others) have problems with the length of parameters in inetd.conf, these files were generated to get around this. People should try this if they are getting the 'Grey screen with an X' problem (i.e. no login). I am posting this hoping it will get into the archives so that future searches will find it. Here's the files that I use. Be sure to change the paths appropriately for your install location. Also, recently trying to install on other machines, I found a couple other problems. Make sure that the fontserver 'fp' service is enabled in services and inetd.conf. The other problem I had was that the people here took out S99dtlogin from the /etc/rc2.d directory, so it didn't start on boot (those were production boxes).

I also have need of this at times. Interestingly enough though, the most recent time I used pcAnywhere's file transfer was to upload WinVNC and install it instead :-). I am not much of a C coder (I use scripting languages in my day-to-day work), but would it be possible to add another RFB message type for this?
