Once the tunnels are established we do something like: vncviewer localhost:27 (when the tunnel has -L 5927:localhost:5900) or vncviewer localhost:28 (then the tunnel has -L 5928:192.168.1.65:5900) > The extra steps make it certain that it's not an accident. > Most of the people are coming from vnc on windows, but at least > one comes in from vnc on his iPad. > We only have the two of us currently going in everywhere.

I am using ssh/tunnels/x11vnc to access both boxes and x11vnc is crashing a lot on the virtual machine. I have not tracked down the cause yet but I have put this to use: #!/bin/bash # relaunchx11vnc.sh # relaunch x11vnc from ssh login export DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/gnome-terminal -- /usr/bin/x11vnc -rfbauth /home/rd/.vnc/passwd -display :0 -shared -forever -solid red ssh into the machine as rd (in this example) and then ./relaunchx11vnc.sh and I am back in business. This script could be the basis for launching x11vnc on demand as you do for anyone who is interested in doing so but has not tried already. > > -- > Cowboy > > > all the best, drew -- Enjoy the Paradise Island Cam playing *Bahamian Or Nuttin* - https://www.paradiseislandcam.com/
