I am trying to port Fl_TeacherTool to Edubuntu but I'm having problems with Xvnc. In K12LTSP Xvnc has the "SecurityTypes None" option for no password required but Edubuntu Xvnc does not seem to have this option.
In addition, Xvnc is launched automatically by inetd in k12ltsp like this nobody 27960 0.8 1.1 10656 6048 ? Ss 22:14 0:00 /usr/bin/Xvnc -inetd -once -query localhost -fp unix/:7100 -SecurityTypes None -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 however I must launch it manually in Edubuntu (vncserver can be used to start Xvnc). This is for the Broadcast feature. I thought about creating a dedicated user for broadcasting. Maybe called "vncuser". The problem is I can't start a vnc server without setting vncpasswd password and if I create a password in /home/vncuser/.vnc/passwd then it can only be read by that person. I could change the permissions on that users dir (seems hackish) but if I can get the "SecurityTypes None" to work I can avoid all this. Any suggestions or help much appreciated. BTW in k12ltsp I think the inetd option connects to xdmcp (since you get a login screen) so I'm assuming that won't work by default in Edubuntu since it's using LTSP5. The package that sets things up in k12ltsp is rpm -ql vnc-ltsp-config /etc/sysconfig/vncts /etc/xinetd.d/vncts /usr/bin/vncts /usr/share/vnc/vncts.services -- Robert Arkiletian Eric Hamber Secondary, Vancouver, Canada Fl_TeacherTool http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/Fl_TeacherTool/ C++ GUI tutorial http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/ -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
