[PATCH] VirtualBox headless VNC support by LibVNCServer (20100211)
Hi, all First, thank you for using my patch. This archive contains individual patch files and modified Makefile. Please select options you want before building. then make with normal way. What's new?: Send ScrollLock when press Ctrl+Scroll or Ctrl+Pause. Fixed 16bpp mode have incorrect settings. (it may cause the viewer confuse, now is send 32bpp instead of 16bpp) Show port 0 when VNC Server disabled. Code cleanup. # cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose # tar xvf /path/to/vboxvnc-20100211.tar.gz # make config # make It provides VNC server for guest OS console access in VBoxHeadless frontend. Supported Options: -v, -vnc, --vnc on|offEnable (default) or disable the VNC Server -a, -vncaddress, --vncaddress ipIP address the VNC server will bind to -p, -vncport, --vncport portPort number the VNC server will bind to -k, -vnckeymap, --vnckeymap keymap Keyboard mapfile (default: builtin US) -S, -vncsecret, --vncsecret secret VNC Authentication secret three options at one line is an equivalent option, for example: -v on, -vnc on, --vnc on are same feature. -v option specify whether VNC server starts in the machine. default is on (enable). -a and -p options specify IP address and port number of VNC server. default IP is wildcard, port is 5900. If you have multiple IPs(NICs) in your system, you can select the listen address of the server. -k option specify the keyboard layout convert from VNC keys to Scancodes. default is US standard 101keys. (I tested only US 101 keyboard) If you want another keyboard, you can spcify the path of kbdmap(5). In standard installation of FreeBSD, it's located in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/. for example, -k /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/jp.106.kbd uses JP 106 keyboard. -S option specify the password of the VNC server. However, it have security risk in common server. It assumed used with FreeNAS (limited user environment). Please consider the risk by using command line. When starting the VM, the proctitle is changed like below (you can see by ps axww): VBoxHeadless: VM: TestVM4 Port: 5900 Auth: off (VBoxHeadless) Regards, Daisuke Aoyama vboxvnc-20100211.tar.gz Description: Binary data ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: [PATCH] VirtualBox headless VNC support by LibVNCServer
Thank you for your reply. I put VBox-VNC-20100127.patch in files an modified the paths to be acceptable to the ports tree and applied the Makefile patch and it works well. (I say this as IMO it's easier to try if you distribute it like that :) I think too. I have created it to use with FreeNAS. I assumed that it is used internally. The first mail of FreeBSD ML is here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2010-January/007336.html Next time, I will try to change you said. Is there any prospect of being able to build the VNC server extension in parallel with X11/QT4? There might not be problem. I'm not using X11. That is all of the reason.

I think that the VNC option is orthogonal to X11. IMO it should probably be installed unconditionally as it is only a very minor code increase which makes the headless server much, much more useful. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Hi, all I updated for 3.1.2_1 and fixed bug of initial pixel format. Before building, install ports/net/libvncserver. I recommend you backup virtualbox-ose directory before doing. Uncheck QT4, X11, NLS by make config before extracting. Howto apply the patch: # cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose # make config # make extract # patch -p /path/to/VBox-VNC-Makefile.patch # patch -p /path/to/VBox-VNC-20100127.patch # make Regards, Daisuke Aoyama ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
