Please go ahead and commit the patch attached earlier to fix epoptes on openSUSE, I am unable to find the clean way to detect vncviewer on Fedora/rh clones as there is nothing common that we could use to detect it.
See content of the rpm package: Centos: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/29077807/dir/centos_7/com/tigervnc-1.2.80-0.30.20130314svn5065.el7.x86_64.rpm.html Fedora: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/31137891/dir/fedora_other/com/tigervnc-1.5.0-3.fc23.x86_64.rpm.html SUSE, Fedora/RH clones do not have any other vncviewer available, the new patch attached would be ideal if you are happy to drop support for other non-default vncviewers. ** Patch added: "Patch that works for SUSE and RH clones" https://bugs.launchpad.net/epoptes/+bug/1501747/+attachment/4526176/+files/epoptes-tigervnc-vncviewer-all-rpm-distro.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Epoptes Developers, which is subscribed to Epoptes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1501747 Title: unble to launch Assist/Monitor when using vncviewer from tigervnc Status in Epoptes: Incomplete Bug description: vncviewer from tigervnc requires launching like xvnc4viewer, so may be test to find out which vncviewer binary is used before launching it would be better. On openSUSE there is /usr/bin/vncviewer-tigervnc actual binary and /usr/bin/vncviewer is link to /etc/alternatives/vncviewer. On suse the attached patch would work, however it does not solve issue with other distributions that install vncviewer binary which is from tigervnc. For example on CentOS /usr/bin/vncviewer is actual binary provided by tigervnc. Only way I could discover if the binary comes from tigervnc is like this:: if grep TigerVNC /usr/bin/vncviewer; then echo "this is vncviewer-tigervnc, using vnc4viewer parameters" elif grep TightVNC /usr/bin/vncviewer; then echo "this is TightVNC vncviewer, using old school parameters to launch" else echo "unknown vncviewer, using .... parameters to launch" fi Don't know python equal of this.
