Automatic Reconnect

2004-12-15 Thread Greg Breland
Do any of the VNC flavors include an automatic reconnect feature when the server is connecting to a listening client? The problem is that the VNC connection will drop with even the slightest interruption of the connection between the two PCs. When the client is connecting to the server this isn't

I use the VNC client from Citrix sessions all the time. Both from NT and Win2K based Citrix servers. No problems other than the expected extra complexity of nesting multiple remote screens. It helps a lot i you can run a high enough resolution Citrix session so that you can see your entire VNC

Webex is incredibly expensive because of its proxy nature. I don't think a lot of people realize that companies can easily spend $50,000/year on webex. We use it for product demos and to support customers with very restrictive firewalls, which is not all that often and we probably spend $5,000/ye

While I agree that file transfer is needlessly complicating VNC, it is the most requested feature and will help VNC become more popular. For instance, Terminal Server doesn't have file transfer built in. You have to use regular SMB file sharing to transfer files. To this end, I thought I would m

VNC can't do this because it deals with the screen at the framebuffer level and not the window level. For a poor mans version of what you are wanting to do just edit your ~/.vnc/xstartup file and instead of launching a desktop such as twm, kde or gnome, just start your application with a -geometry

I see this all the time on my Linux box when I reboot the computer without running a "vncserver -kill :10". It usually complains that there is a .pid file not in ~/.vnc but in "/tmp/.X11/" or something like that. Deleting the appropriate lock file fixes the problem. Greg > On Tue, 3 Dec 2002,

That is interesting, I have had this exact same problem with TightVNC and thought it was a flaw introduced at some point, but I guess this has been around longer than I thought. This is what I know about the problem: 1) It appears to be a flaw in the server. 2) There is some hardware based angle

What you are seeing is the default desktop for the VNC Server, TWM. You are probably used to using KDE or Gnome, so here is how to change it: 1) Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup 2) For KDE, replace "twm &" with "startkde &" 3) For Gnome, replace "twm &" with "exec gnome-session &" 4) Kill any existing VNC s
