Thanks, your x11vnc pet is working great on my puppy farms (10 machines) However, it doesn't work on a remastered CD. Only fresh installation works. Any idea?

OK, the x11vnc on the remastered CD won't allow the viewer to connect to the server. Apart from this, everything looks normal so I don't know where to look at.
I tried changing the vnc port to 5900 by using the command "x11vnc -rfbport 5900" but it doesn't solve the problem. It works only when I reinstall the pet package again.

Please, can you leave the space for a helper or the pet's owner to ask me for clarification if they need to?
Thanks

Hi @ all,
i have install x11vnc_server-0.9.4B.pet on my puppy linux PC. After i install x11vnc_server and restart my system i have only one entry in the menu-networtk -- it is x11vnc-server.
When i start this, i have choose the option "Start the x11vnc server now and everytime we boot". Then i have set a "Password for connection". So i become the message, "The x11vnc server has been started. ....."
After that i start VNC Viewer on my Windows PC, but i can not make an connection to the puppy PC !?
The IP from Puppy is 192.168.70.137 and the IP from my Windows PC is 192.168.70.122. The Subnetmask is the same.
Have someone any idea what´s wrong? For information, i can make a ping from the Puppy PC to Windows and backwards.
thanks a lot,
alix_board

Subject description: where is the viewer? |
|
I installed the tighvnc viewer, but I cannot find how to start it.
It does not appear in the menu under Network and I cannot find it anywhere in the Puppy directories.
(this search function from ROX, I don't get it, I cannot search with it. (used to using Midnight Commander)

You may need to open a terminal and type fixmenus to get it to show up in the menu. Depending on which Puppy you have you may also need to reboot or restart X. If you want to run it from a terminal the command should be Code: | /usr/X11R7/bin/vncviewer | or just vncviewer.

not to dredge an old thread, but i had some issues with this, and maybe it will help someone in the future.
worked fine until i realized i could not use SHIFT and was missing some characters here or there. in my search for a fix, all i found were suggestions to run with -xkb. doing this only resulted in me getting NO keyboard input over vnc. after a lot of experimenting i found that running with the switch -nomodtweak solved all the issues.
hope it helps,
walrus

Thanks walrus
Your suggestion of adding switch -nomodtweak with x11vnc did solved all the issues you mention.
Perhaps to help others here is what I did. (lupu 525, 528)
1. Relevant file to modify is x11vnc-gui (a text file):
Code: | /usr/X11R7/bin/x11vnc-gui |
2. Two lines need to be changed. The code in each line is the same. Line 53 and line 59 in the original read:
Code: | x11vnc -nolookup -forever -bg -passwordfile /root/.x11vnc/read:password |
add -nomodtweak after xx11vnc (and space) eg
Code: | x11vnc -nomodtweak -nolookup -forever -bg -passwordfile /root/.x11vnc/read:password |

... a newer version ... |

Hi ....
i run the x11vncserver-0.9.4b on my wary-puppy and it works well. Bute after changing to slacko i got the problem that the shift keys dosnt work.
So, i compiled the 0.9.14 version an made a pet file. I added some libs (libssl and libcrypto) and the vncserver works on slacko without errors.
i tryed to upload the package here ... but ther was always an upload error. if anybody is interessed in please tell me, how i can it upload here

Hi. For me just work in both directions if I disable firewall, than work in both sides, if is enabled just work from puppy to outside.
So I must open 5900 port in puppy firewall, but Im little confused, with that hosts and ip addresses
my situation is that
router has 192.168.1.12/255.255.255.0
my win machine has 192.168.1.2
puppy one 192.168.1.114
puppy two 192.168.1.134
but I dont even know what is my host, is that name of my windows share group, my windows machine name, or router name ?
thank you

Thanks for this! I had the non-functioning shift key and this fix worked for me!
Just one problem... holding down shift and pressing the comma key was producing a ">" instead of a "<". (Interestingly, "<" was the one uppercase character that did work previously.)
The fix for that was: as mentioned here:http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/faq.html#faq-greaterless
