Yes, now that I stop to create a web page for it, and connect, your advice
does help. ;) And in fact, I can almost log in to my machine now. Here's how
far I get:
I connect to standard web page hosting the java applet. It loads the applet
correctly and shows the vnc password text box. I can login. My machine's
standard GDM login screen is then displayed. As soon as I click on a user,
however, I get a Java error.
java.io.IOException: Unknown RFB message type -1
If, instead of clicking on a user, I attempt to type in the username, I am
able to get the cursor into the text box, but after typing a character or two
I get the following error:
java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe
I am so close to having this work! :)
Could this be a problem with the java viewer, the jvm used by my browser, or
something in the configuration files?
Thank you very much for your help!
