Public bug reported: Binary package hint: tsclient
[Wishlist item] It would be nice if tsclient would use Avahi (ie. Zeroconf, MDNS, DNS- SD...) to search for available VNC servers on the local net. KDE's "krdc" offers this functionality, and I use it regularly. For example, the vino-server in Ubuntu seems to announce itself over Avahi automatically, so krdc will automatically show any Ubuntu box on my net which has "Desktop Sharing" enabled - really neat! In tsclient the found servers could be added to the "Computer:" dropdown list. See http://avahi.org/wiki/AdministrativeAvahiApplication#KDERemoteFrameBufferRemoteDesktopClient for details how this is done in krdc. Basically you have to ask Avahi for services of type _rfb._tcp (try avahi-browse _rfb._tcp to test it if you have a machine running with vino-server enabled). ** Affects: tsclient (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- tsclient should use Avahi to find VNC servers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
