FW: DOS full screen turns black workstation locks.
21/02/03 I have the symptoms as described underneath. today I have discovred something new: As we where in a training on 5 machines on which vnc service was running I noticed the following: The whole morning all worked fine. As we came back from lunch some macines were blacked out others had a screen with vertical dotted lines. All machines where frozen. After restart it happend again after about an hour and a half. This was when everybody was typing, so it can not be a screensaver/power saving issue. My question now is: Should the client not be idle and stay Idle ? As I have installed the VNC server on my PC which was not even logged on, I am sure there was no such request from the VNCserver. Is it possible that some kind of other trafic on the network triggers a remote control request. I checked DHCP but this renewal was not due for another 5 days. __ [Laurent Appels] 20/02/2003 > I have several PC's that run DOS a application alomost continiously. > Running under W98 SE. > If the client is installed ADn the application is run full screen, the > machine freezes to a black screen, seemingly at random times, > but on a regular basis.

Re: Reboot & Logon to remote machine.
Yes. If VNC is running as a service on the remote machine it will restart when the machine restarts. Then you should be able to login again. Sounds like it's running as an app on the w2k machine.

Reboot & Logon to remote machine.
I recall restarting a remote machine (probably a Win98 machine) and being able to use VNC to reconnect to the remote machine (after allowing enough time for it to reboot) and logon. If I simply logoff or restart the current user on a remote Win2K machine VNC disconnects and I cannot reconnect to the machine. This behavior has been normal with all versions that I have used over at least the past year. I am now running version 3.3.6 on Win2K machines.

ChromiVNC v3.4 alpha 5
We have installed the Chromatix server on a PowerMac G4 running MAC OS 9.0.4 (in a remote office), and have successfully connected to it from a Win32 client (in a different office). The problem is that, currently, someone needs to be logged in to the MAC for the VNC server to be available for remote access. This strikes me as odd, and I am wondering what we are missing in this process that allows the Mac to be at the log on screen so and still allow remote access through VNC. Unfortunately, none of the people in either office are really Macintosh knowledgeable. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks P.M.

True. But I didn't say the contrary. It's just that you talked about netmeeting, so I elaborated the reasons why it's not situable in some situations. > Netmeeting _is_ point to point. And multiplatform (I mean, there are > *nix clients). So is talk (and yes, there are quite a few talk clients > for windows). And many, many, many other applications. Nope, you missed the word "first" in the sentence "... requires first a server ...". Actually, "point to point" is a term I invented :-) I wanted to mean an application involving only two computers at both ends of communication channel. Netmeeting (and instant messengers, called IM for simplification, in general) isn't. Because an IM needs a server for authentification at the beginning (and of course username and password is stored in it). And during usage, IM still needs to hook to server to update its own status and request other IM (users) status. So, no server, no IM. OT : I'm wondering if a IM is working in Kerberos-like protocol in authentification and talking to other IM's. > STF> As to company policy, if you understand why > there're companies > STF> allowing PCAnywhere but forbidding Internet surfing or > instant messenger, > STF> you could also understand why they would forbid > netmeeting but allows vnc. > > So let me get this straight: company policy forbids program X > (ytalk for > example, or any other simple chat program), but if you > include the same > code into VNC the same company policy will allow it, because it's > called VNC.

What you need here is: :1 LocalVNC1 local@none .../Xvnc -geometry YYY [other VNC options as required] and in your dtlogin resource file (Xconfig on my Solaris system, I don't know what it will be on yours): *LocalVNC1.terminateServer: true It may also be useful to do something like: *LocalVNC1.environment: VNC=true so your login script can tell (by looking for $VNC) when you are running inside VNC. See the dtlogin manual page for a full list of the resources you can use. This will start the server properly (you don't need the extra stuff done by the vncserver script] and will terminate it and restart when you logout. You may still want to use a script to start Xvnc if the option list is long - if the line gets too long in Xservers, it is silently truncated. Useful options to use for Xvnc would include the font path; use a font server if available, so you get exactly the same font set as if you were sitting at the console. This has been tested and confirmed to work on a Solaris system using CDE. The -query, by the way, should only be used if the server is *not* being started from Xservers - it tells the X server (Xvnc) to connect to the named XDMCP host to get managed. If you're running through Xservers, it's already managed. Likewise, -once shouldn't be used here - the X display manager should manage the starting and terminating of the X server itself. - -- Grant McDorman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Sr. Software Design Consultant Cedara Software Corp. http://www.cedara.com> (formerly I.S.G.

HP-UX 11.0 / 11.11 SD Depot available via FTP
Hi folks, I'd like to announce the availability of an HP-UX Software Distributor package for RealVNC 3.3.6: ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/RealVNC_r3.3.6.1.depot I've been using this build for several weeks and have done basic testing of the packaging (swinstall/swremove/swverify/swcopy). This package will install cleanly on HP-UX 11.0 and 11.11. I have not tried installing or running it on any IPF systems, though it should theoretically run via Aries. When I have some time, I will work on an IPF-specific build. Besides isolating the root causes of the build problems I've also made some HP-UX specific changes (ie, default font-path). I built VNC with recent releases of HP's ANSI C/C++ compilers using PA2.0 optimizations. This code will NOT run on older PA1.1 systems (see /usr/sam/lib/mo/sched.models for a list). Included in the depot is the original 3.3.6 source as well as a diff against my build tree. If there are any questions or comments either contact me directly or post them to comp.sys.hp.hpux. Oh, and many thanks to the VNC team for creating such a useful product! -chuck -- Chuck Slivkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> HP Services - North America ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

Yes, and probably yes. Old versions of VNC misbehaved when there were more
than 2 keysyms per key. In addition, if you are using keycodes in your
xmodmap ('keycode 1234 =') then this is not portable (keycodes will differ
between VNC and the machine's native X server). Use 'keysym' instead (e.g.
'keysym Alt_R = Mode_switch').
I am sure that removing the xmodmap will fix the problem. I do not know if you
can fix your xmodmap to work with VNC, though. (Adding -display $DISPLAY to
the xmodmap options, by the way, will have absolutely no effect.)
What version of VNC are you running again?

Re: Newbie Questions regarding prohibiting user access and SSL
I want to implement RealVNC on a Help Desk so that my techs can access the PC's of remote users to troubleshoot. However, I don't want the users to have the ability to access other PC's. Is it possible to 'turn off' their access; that is, keep their server functionality while disabling their viewer functionality? Install only the server component on the users' PCs. Keep the viewer executable for only those who need it. In addition, set passwords and don't let the users know them. Also, can I run VNC through an SSL tunnel, and if so, where would I find resources on this subject? It's SSH, not SSL, and yes, it can be done.

I have a strange need. I need to mirror (flip right-left) the entire screen as displayed on the monitor. Apparently XFree86 cannot do this.

I know this is a stretch; I've been using VNC for a nummber of years, but I also know that many things are possible with VNC beyond just remoting the screen. --Yan -- o /\ /_ o__ o* ~(_) ,>/'_ o__ Yan Seiner, PE (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ o__ Cardinal Engineering, Inc.

xstartup for tightvnc
Hello - I have been using standard VNC for some time now, and am trying TightVNC for the first time. Is there a different syntax or set of commands to use for the xstartup file with tightvnc? I put a posting on the tightvnc maillist, however, there is very little activity there.Could someone be so kind as to offer a sample xstartup for tightvnc that gets the gnome manager to initiate?

Re: VNC X keyboard mapping problem

Newbie Questions regarding prohibiting user access and SSL
Hello, I want to implement RealVNC on a Help Desk so that my techs can access the PC's of remote users to troubleshoot. However, I don't want the users to have the ability to access other PC's. Is it possible to 'turn off' their access; that is, keep their server functionality while disabling their viewer functionality? Also, can I run VNC through an SSL tunnel, and if so, where would I find resources on this subject? Thanks for your help...

RE: VNC X keyboard mapping problem
I am a Solaris guy, but run CDE sessions on Sun. If this is VNC related the only thing I can think of is making sure you start your server with a correct fontpath and I use a font server on Sun as that was the only way to get the CDE fonts to display properly. The server start flag for Sun is: -fp tcp/localhost:7100. You will need to make sure you have the fs service running and see what port Tru64 runs it on for your installation. If that is *NOT* the problem or does not fix it there could be a problem with your Xsession running a non-standard code page or language. To test, you can try displaying an Xterm or other suitable application (like XEV) on the VNC display from your console display. If you *ARE* serving out fonts properly and the problem goes away then the problem is with session variables in the Xsession. If you are still hosed, then the problem is probably happening in the VNC server. Good Luck...

VNC X keyboard mapping problem
I reiterate in a more concise manner my last posting which remains still unanswered. I use an Unix VNC viewer (3.3.2 VNC binary distribution from the original ORL site on Digital Unix 3.2) to connect to a Unix VNC server ( 3.3.3r1 VNC binary distribution just installed from ftp://public.arl.arizona.edu/pub/sware/vnc-current_osf.tgz under Tru64 4.0g). The VNC server is arranged to send the dtlogin CDE login mask in XDMCP (I hope I got it right, anyhow seems to work). I can type my username and password correctly, but once I'm logged in in my CDE session, all what I type in any terminal window is screwed up. e.g. I type a and get 3, I type x and get 7, I type carriage return and get a comma ... it is impossible to work ! Looks an X kbd mapping problem AFTER the login phase. I tried running a "xev", xev works, and it shows the same problem, e.g. key "a" is keycode 38 keysim ox33 which gives "3". How can I fix it ? PS the same viewer works and always worked OK with other VNC servers on Windows, HPUX and Solaris (but I never tried to have CDE dtlogin on them). The viewer on the Tru64 also works fine. The server now gives the same problem also if started without XDCMP (I just installed it, tried it to see it worked ... and I am not sure I tried to type something, just displaying and moving windows around ... and then proceeded to the XDCMP testing) Lucio Chiappetti - IASF/CNR - via Bassini 15 - I-20133 Milano (Italy) "There are no news of scientific discoveries done by administration boards, presidents or directors general" L.Maiani - CERN & INFN - Corriere della Sera 06/02/2003 For more info : http://www.mi.iasf.cnr.it/~lucio/personal.html ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Re: Batch Files
The Wscript object is installed with the newer versions of IE (5 and above i
think), and you can also get an installer to install it seperately if you
wish.
Going up to msdn.microsoft.com and doing a search i came up with this
snippet to write the regsitry.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/ht
ml/wsconmanipulatingsystemregistryprogrammatically.asp
if you do some digging you can find a help file full of functions and
objects you can create with it.
VB is not my forte, but i belive VBScript would go something like this.
Set Wscriptshell = CreateObject('wscript.shell')
Wscriptshell.run('winvnc -kill', 1, true)
Wscriptshell.run('winvnc -run', 1, false)
the first param of run is the string to run, this is just like typing it
into the command box. the second is how you want the window displayed, 1 is
the normal behavior. and the last is if you want the script to stop until
the program run returns, true is default, but you want the false for the
running of the vnc object.
here is a quick link to the msdn main site the should have all the info your
need
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/nhp/Default.asp?contentid
=28001169
write up your program in notepad, and save it with .vbs on the end and you
should be good. Just note that some antivirus programs might think it is a
virus because it changes the registry and is a vbs file. virus writers love
to use vbscript because its easy and all computers can run them. whether it
actually detects it is or not, i dont know.
Good luck, hope this was enough information.
ps. also wscript can read and write the registry.

I wouldn't like to receive a big bill at the end of month :) I only used telephone when I was inside company > -Message d'origine- > De : Cliff Sarginson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > EnvoyC) : mercredi 19 fC)vrier 2003 21:13 > C : VNC > Objet : Re: Wish : chat between client and server > > > How about using a telephone :) > > On Wed, Feb 19, 2003 at 08:19:22AM -0600, Fetzik, John wrote: > > The command is "net send" with the space, not just "send". > The program use > > is net.exe, send is one of the options. > > > > John > > > > > -Original Message- > > > From: Carl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 4:18 PM > > > To: VNC > > > Subject: Re: Wish : chat between client and server > > > > > > > > > Have you tried "send" on Windows XP Pro?

Using Iplist.txt with RealVNC 3.3.6
Does VNC 3.3.6 look for iplist.txt to prevent unauthorized IP's from access? I made that file just like for 3.3.3, placed it in the System32 folder, (which is in the Path statement), the Realvnc folder, and even the Winvnc subfolder, but I'm still able to gain access using IP's not allowed based on the list. Anybody know if that feature is still there, or got taken out?
