Hi All, Hope that everyone is doing well today. I am doing great and am posting this from Firefox from within my fresh native install of OpenIndiana (Hipster). I have made the plunge into the Illumos world now and plan on trying to do everything from here while mostly migrating away from Linux, Windows, and MAC except to possible run them from within VirtualBox installed on OpenIndiana (which I still need to learn how to do yet).
Anyway, I just learned a little about "pgk" and am trying to see out I can install a VNC server so that I can connect to this box from another system tomorrow while I am at the office. To that end, I just tried: --------------------------- lonnie@openindiana:~$ pkg list | grep vnc desktop/remote-desktop/tigervnc 1.8.0-2018.0.0.2 i-- x11/server/xvnc 1.8.0-2018.0.0.2 lonnie@openindiana:~$ pfexec pkg search -r tightvnc #(NO TightVNC Found it seems) lonnie@openindiana:~$ pfexec pkg search -r vnc INDEX ACTION VALUE PACKAGE pkg.summary set A VNC client for the GNOME Desktop pkg:/desktop/remote-desktop/vinagre@3.22.0-2018.0.0.0 pkg.summary set VNC server and client C libraries pkg:/library/libvncserver@0.9.10-2018.0.0.1 pkg.summary set VNC server for use with real X displays pkg:/x11/x11vnc@0.9.15-2018.0.0.0 pkg.summary set gtk-vnc - A GTK widget for VNC client pkg:/library/desktop/gtk-vnc@0.7.1-2018.0.0.0 lonnie@openindiana:~$ -------------------------- So then, my question is if I should install tigervnc as the vnc server? If so, then would it be correct to say that I can connect to it from a Windows TightVNC client from the office?
