Hiya folks, I've been having an interesting issue with the free version of vncviewer (well, the version bundled with Solaris 10, anyway...), and am wondering whether there's a fix in the commercial version. What I'm seeing is 100% reproducible, and goes like this:
In a labelled zone on Solaris 10 Trusted Extensions - classic sparse-root zone, with /usr/bin/vncviewer mounted readonly over loopback: * open a session onto a VNC server (I'm using the one built into Fedora 15 for this, although it's not exclusively a Fedora problem; Ubuntu 10.10 exhibits it too) I get the usual start-up details: # vncviewer 10.0.1.2:0 VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.3 for X - built Dec 3 2008 23:03:17 Copyright (C) 2002-2008 RealVNC Ltd See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC. Wed Aug 17 21:49:03 2011 CConn: connected to host 10.0.1.2 port 5900 Connection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.7 Connection: Using RFB protocol version 3.7 Wed Aug 17 21:49:08 2011 TXImage: Using default colormap and visual, TrueColor, depth 24. CConn: Using pixel format depth 6 (8bpp) rgb222 CConn: Using ZRLE encoding CConn: Throughput 20270 kbit/s - changing to hextile encoding CConn: Throughput 20270 kbit/s - changing to full colour CConn: Using pixel format depth 24 (32bpp) little-endian rgb888 CConn: Using hextile encoding * now, open a terminal in the session, type something, highlight it, put it in the copy buffer * move pointer out of the window showing the VNC session, the window closes and the following error pops up in the terminal used to launch vncviewer: X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Resource id in failed request: 0x400001 Serial number of failed request: 20318 Current serial number in output stream: 23019 Any ideas? I wonder whether "something unconventional" may be happening in terms of vncviewer having its own cut / paste system rather than the one provided by the X server; does cut / paste work OK between different VNC sessions on a non label-aware system?
