I tried installing x11vnc using the instructions on the following page, but but when trying to connect I just get "connection refused (111)".
* https://wiki.edubuntu.org/InstallX11VncOnLtspClients I have killed the process on the client and run manually, but it completes without ever stating "PORT=5900" as you would expect, even if I specify the port number on the command-line. Sure enough, if I run "netstat -ant" before and after x11vnc, no additional ports appear. I have installed nmap on the client and run "nmap localhost" but this states that the host is down. "nmap -sT -P0 -p 5900 localhost" returns: PORT STATE SERVICE 5900/tcp filtered vnc If from the server I run "nmap -sT -P0 -p 5900 <clientip>" then it returns: PORT STATE SERVICE 5900/tcp closed vnc And just as a final test "nmap <clientip>": PORT STATE SERVICE 6007/tcp open X11:7 So no great surprise that it's not working, but I am at a loss to know why x11vnc cannot activate the port. I don't believe there is any firewall running on either client or server, and both are on the same subnet (LTSP server was installed with a single NIC); so I don't believe any other firewall should be influencing things. I've spent the best part of two days going around in circles with this, so any pointers gratefully received.
