The problem isn't VNC, as you can't take screen shots of this content
either.

VNC on Sun and OGL

[Shaw, Kevin]

VNC 3.3.7 
Sun Ultra60 Solaris 8 latest MU and patches
Generic PC running WINNT OR XP pro
SDRC I-Deas9 m3
VNC is configured to run out of inetd.

I need to use a cheap PC in my conference room to display
I-Deas9. I can start I-Deas in X3D fine, but when I start I-Deas9
in OGL I get the following error (I need OGL to manipulate
shaded graphics).

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display "unix:1.0"

Is this problem an issue with VNC or do I need a graphics
card that supports OGL for the PC?

TIA

Are you implying that you've got a firewall somewhere between your

In other words, if your WinME is connected directly to Internet, then you
could ask your wife to put the mouse pointer on VNC icon which is in system
tray and wait for a second, and she'll get the IP address.  Use this address
to connect to her PC.  HTH

   TCP can't be confused in this fashion; it does not make the connection
   from  5900 to 5900, but instead makes it from (temp port) to 5900. All
   packets  would  be  sent  back to (temp port) on the viewer machine or
   tunnel-machine.  Even  if  somehow  this  were  happening, I would get
   "failed  connection" messages, as NO packets would successfully return
   --  instead  I get a login prompt and successful-connection reports in
   my logfiles. You can look at NETSTAT /AN and see what I mean.

   However,  in  this instance (as mentioned in the other message) the IP
   address  ranges  aren't  even  identical; 192.168.1.* at home, 10.* at
   work, so the identical-IP stuff doesn't even apply here.

   Also, just for giggles, I installed a server on BOX_2 and attempted to
   vNC  to  it; same problem. (changing the forward from 5900: BOX_1:5900
   to 5900: localhost:5900 and 5900: BOX_2:5900, of course).

   > Even if that is not your situation exactly, try a tunnel that looks

   I  haven't  used the IP addresses yet. I suppose I should try that and
   see  what  happens,  although for DNS or reverse-DNS to be the problem
   here would be very weird.

   (I  have changed the local ports, remember: tried it on 9876 and 5631,
   specifically.)

   I  suppose I'm not surprised that Windows honors parameters grafted on

   Identical  network  addresses  shouldn't  matter  -- the CSocket class
   identifies  a stream, and it really does open a "pipe" between the two
   sockets.  Once  the  pipe's enabled, all communication flows using the
   handle,  not the IP. Also, if this were the reason, I wouldn't be able
   to  make  the SSH connection, n'est-ce pas? However, in this case they
   aren't  even  identical;  I'm  192.168.1.* at home, 192.168.0.* at the
   friend's, and 10.* at work.

Re: To the list owner

[Benjamin Watkins]

I agree.  I also believe that most spam filters will allow you to configure 
them to allow all messages addressed to a particular mailing list for 
exactly this purpose.  For instance, all VNC list emails are addressed to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which should give the email a pass through the filter.

I would say if your spam filter reliese on subject lines it's time to get
a new spam filter.
A better way would be to look at the existing headers that are being added
to mail now (for example List-Id or X-BeenThere).

RE: NT 3.51 install

[James Weatherall]

Gary,

I believe that that's an artificial limit set by the installer, although it
is the case that 3.3.7 has not been tested under Windows 3.51.  Your two
options are:

- Install VNC 3.3.7 or VNC 4b4 under NT4 or above, then copy the installed
files to try them under NT3.51.
- Download VNC 3.3.3 from the AT&T Labs archive site, which has a much older
installer.

Graham,

You will probably find that VNC 4 will run better on your problem Windows 2K
system, in spite of still being in Beta!  There is a known situation in
which VNC 3.3.7 will stop unexpectedly, as a result of corrupt return values
from certain operating system APIs.

Yes, I believe that this is possible, and that in particular RealVNC 4.0 has 
this funcationality as part of the standard package.  See 
http://www.realvnc.com/v4/man/x0vncserver.html.

There are third party utilities to achieve the same effect for older versions 
of vnc.  See 
http://www.uk.research.att.com/archive/vnc/extras.html#x0rfbserver in 
particular.

I have cc'd this back to the list, since there are others on the list that may 
be able to provide more info.

Rasjid.

VNC server crash on W2K sp4 box

[Graham White]

Greetings,

I've done a bunch of research on this and was wondering if anyone has found
an absolute cure:

Host machine: Win2K Advanced Server SP4
Running: VNC Server 3.3.7
Clients: VNC Viewer 3.3.7 >> Win98SE (local LAN), WinXP Home x 2 (1 local
LAN, 1 across internet)

Server sits behind Linksys router (NAT) which in turn is connected to DSL
modem. The appropriate ports are being forwarded to the VNC host machine.

Clients on the internal network (using viewer 3.3.7 > Win98SE & WinXP) both
seem to be stable.
When i connect from my WinXP client from a remote Internet location (also
behind NAT gateway), every so often the following behaviour occurs:

Connect and prompted for password authentication.
Enter password.
Screen changes as if everything's A-OK. Window appears with grey background
with the text: 'Please wait initial screen loading...' (at least something
to that effect).
That stays on for approximately 30-45 seconds and then vanishes. Just ups
and disappears with nothing to show for it. The task doesn't seem to be
running anymore.
Try to reconnect. Almost immediately a 'fail to connect' alert box is
displayed.
Try to reconnect via Java/browser, with no luck.

Logging into the host machine from the console, the system tray icon is
there but disappears when moused over.
Restart the service using the services window. no system tray icon
reappears.
Reconnect from remote station. No problems occur.


My testing is on-going but this is getting annoying. Haven't seen this occur
through Java only yet.

I've done a lot of searching through the mailing list archives with no
concrete solutions. There is no BSOD - the server doesn't go down - only the
VNC service does. In fact there's an entry in the System Event Log (source
Service Control Manager):

Type: Error
User: N/A
Category: None
Event ID: 7031
Description:
The VNC Server service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s).
The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: No action.

So the service goes down, and doesn't restart. Can't reconnect through any
means unless the service is restarted manually.

Any one have any concrete solutions? Is this version incompatible with
Win2K? Should i try a new version? An old version? Etc.

Thanks for your time!!

RE: Problems connecting through SSH, through two NAT routers

[Glenn Lovitz]

Interesting problem.  I have done this in similar situations successfully via
PuTTY but my tunnel looks a little different than yours.  Are you running
vncserver on both BOX_1 and BOX_2?  If so, both on port 5900?  If so, I
suspect all the networks involved use 192.168.0 (or the same private) address
space (certainly the case on LinkSys to LinkSys)which will cause a fundamental
problem locally on BOX_2.  It will intercept the return packet on it's own
port 5900 thinking it is incoming from your internal network to it rather than
being sent back out through the tunnel.

Even if that is not your situation exactly, try a tunnel that looks like:

L5910 :5900 

e.g.: Source Port - 5910
  Destination - :5900 

destination should be local with X display location of localhost:0 (which you
probably already have).

To connect to BOX_1 from your viewer at work (or friend's with LinkSys): make
the tunnel connection via PuTTY; then vncviewer should connect via
localhost:10.

Good Luck,

Glenn Lovitz

Depending on what you want there are a couple of different ways.  See:

Nope.  Try adjusting your mailer to send out plain text mails.  Taking a
look at the headers:

X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: from multipart/alternative by demime 0.99d.1
X-Converted-To-Plain-Text: Alternative section used was text/plain

So the mail server is trying to convert it to text/plain, but must be
having issues.

I've tried this, but can't find the bins for the actual VNC server. Only
something that looks like a a Perl script, maybe something that need to be
compiled, I don't know. But what I really want to run is VNC server under a
user account and have it load on startup. Please help me out here, it's

Multiple VNCViewer connections t0 Linux VNC server

[Carlos Sunden]

Hello!

I've been able to connect to the vncserver running in
Linux.

Since it is two users required to acces system
remotely, I'd like the capability of doing this, that
way, either user keeps his own applications, etc, open
& do not disturb (close a terminal window, etc) each
other.

It mentions to add another number for the user host,
such as, firstuser:1, firstuser:2. When using 1,it
works, but it doesn't work for other numbers.

Thanks, any input is appreciated.

Re: WinVNCViewer: keyboard randomly flips UK/US

[Carlyle Sutphen]

Hi Rod, hi Tim,

this is probably not a VNC thing but a Windows thing. I had a similar problem mostly 
in Lotus Notes.

Windows can manage separate keyboard mappings for different programs using the "Text 
Services and Input Languages" (Languages tab) portion of the "Regional and Languages" 
service of the Control Panel.

In the Key Settings I found that Left Alt+Shift is set up to switch between input 
languages. Now, I have a habit of letting my fingers rest on the right shift key while 
thinking about what I write, which activates the Filter Keys functionality (try 
searching windows help on that). When I escape out of the resulting dialog, the 
keyboard state is such that the left shift is still activated. Pressing it will 
deactivate it. But if I press the alternate key before that, the keyboard mapping gets 
changed for the active application. If you show the language bar on the desk top, you 
can see and change the current setting on the task bar.

Carlyle

VNC 4 has generally better keyboard handling than the VNC 3.3 series, so you

Sounds like a bug in TightVNC, or in the Solaris build of it.  You might

No, that is literally the word "file".  IIRC it is hard coded to put the

and vncviewer.exe confirms it).

This is just an idea and I don't know if it will work:
-> Compile a light-weight window manager (IceWM?)
-> On the Thin Client, launch the RealVNC server in combo with IceWM
-> Build an IceWM menu that uses SSH to run apps on the Terminal Server

Disconnect in inetd mode

[Nick THOMPSON]

Hi,

If Xvnc is started from (x)inetd, is it still possible to disconnect and
reconnect to a session while all the applications keep running?

If so, and if an xdmcp query is being used for the login, what password
is used for the VNC reconnect? I manually tried it and no password seem
to be necessary!

What I need is a way to automatically start up an X session when a user
connects, they can disconnect and reconnect to it (possible from another
computer), and finally close down the session at will.

Inetd seems to get close, but I don't see how the disconnect and
reconnect can work with that setup.

Service parameters can be specified using regedit.  Goto
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ and find the key for vnc.  VNC3 calls it 
winvnc, while VNC4 calls it WinVNC4.  The service executable is specified in ImagePath

What are the network addresses behind both routers?  I ask so because those

RE: Screen initial problem

That's not exactly I was asking for.  I mean, in the same LAN as your VNC 
server PC, can you use another PC to connect to it?

On the other hand, I'm surprised to see that your VPN server (gateway) is 
inside the DMZ.  It is normally in the firewall, no?  Well, anyway.

I think you need to say more your network config.  Do you have NAT to have a 
one-one correspondance to every machine in the DMZ?  On the other hand, if VNC 
connection is working for the VPN gateway through the tunnel, don't you feel it's 
logic that it doesn't work for others because they aren't gateway.

Are you implying that you've got a firewall somewhere between your WinME and

RE: Connection dropping

[Caddy, Jonathan]

Fixed it.
The 2 dial ups that were dying were set to "use default gateway on remote network" 
once I unchecked this they worked fine.

What are the network setting for those two phone numbers?  Sound like 
they are overriding the local network setup.

Remote access through firewall

[Wayne Ivory]

Scott,

 

The FAQ "How can I get a VNC Viewer to connect through a firewall I don't
control" is almost an exact fit for my situation, except that rather than
having a Linux server at home I've just got a Windows ME computer connected
via a modem straight to the internet.  (Basically my wife uses it during the
day whilst I'm at work but she's not particularly computer-literate and
sometimes calls me when she gets confused about something - it would be a
big help if I could just VNC in from work to sort it out).

 

The FAQ says "The above example presumes that the VNC Server is running on
Linux, but it of course works perfectly well if you're running on Windows
too", however I'm having trouble making that leap.  The references in
Benjamin Weiss' article to "localhost" and "log into your machine with
Putty" and "/etc/sysconfig/vncservers set up with a static port :4" seem
geared specifically to a Linux environment and I can't figure out what the
translation to a standalone Windows ME machine would be for those parts.
I'm trying to get this working with RealVNC.

 

A reply here on the list and/or an expansion on the FAQ would be most
welcome.

 

Thanks

Re: RedHat 9 vncserver

Not if there is already an X server running on that display number.  And if  
xdm/kdm/gdm is running, or a user is already running X, then that display 
number has most likely already been claimed and is in use.

Cheers,

Rasjid.

Trouble connecting VNC Server using "Tight Encoding"

[Chen Chang-QCH2044]

I installed Tight VNC 1.2.9 in Solaris and started the vncserver using: $vncserver 
-nolisten local

And I successfully connected the vncserver from vncviewer in windows platform using 
"Prefered encoding" such as "ZlibHex", "Hextile" and etc. but failed if using Prefered 
encoding "Tight".

When using "Tight" encoding to connect, after establishing and inputting the Session 
password, the x screen was flashed once and then terminated. The vncserver process in 
Solaris was terminated also.

Does anyone ever meet this and know the solution?

Here is the logs:
