What is the oldest Linux kernel supported by VNC?
Hello! I have an interesting problem. I'm in the process of assembling an embedded system for running something unique. The problem is that the hardware for it was never tested with any Linux kernel past the 2.2.x.x series. I've managed to get the programs behind 4-1-3 to build and install there. And every time I start a session and then try to get a connection to it via one of the clients I have of the same period I get disconnected or it says connection refused. Now I freely admit it might be a firewall sort of issue on the target, but I never bothered to configure one. The same clients do connect to my Solaris box here who's running software from about the same time period. Did anyone ever test 4-1-3 on any system running a 2.2.18 kernel? (The system is running Slackware Linux, but any of the others will suffice.) - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again. ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Re: What is the oldest Linux kernel supported by VNC?
Hello! As it happens you don't. The RPM is for Linux. Which isn't on SPARC, although there's a rarely used distribution for SPARC. There's a PKG or similar file for the Solaris on SPARC, use that. There should also be a Tar file in the same format. Or for that OS. However depending on the release of Solaris, you should be able to find a built release of VNC for SPARC that's included with the collection of the OS. I did that for my system who's running the release from 2005. - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again.

AS far as I know, vnc on unix does not rely on any kernel stuff. Depending on the configuration, the vnc functionallity can be hooked, linked or build into the window manager software or the display manager software. In the beginning, there has always been the binary 'xvnc' which is a display-server as such. It can be used roughly everywhere where a hardware-connected X11 binary is used. It provides an X.11 server without hardware connection. It does not give a remove view on the console but it does give a complete graphical environment running on the remote machine which you can access using your vncviewer application.

Re: What is the oldest Linux kernel supported by VNC?
Hello! That makes better sense thanks. While waiting for the list, I had an inspired guess last night and found the 3.3.7 release for Linux via Google, and downloaded both the Tar file containing the easy distribution method for everything there. And the source code one there as well. The interesting problem is that I still don't know why the ones for 4.1.3 which I built on the same system didn't connect to the client here. I still have other issues concerning what to do with this improbable project but thank you Corne Beerse, next time you're visiting NYC I owe you a meal at the best deli in NYC. - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again.

Re: controlling a laptop with an android device
Hello! Basically yes. You do need to go to the right panels on your home router, and open 5900 plus the number of desktops you want to open. In this case it would be 5901, and then so forth. And then follow the steps provided with running VNC on your Android device. - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again.

Re: Windows RealVNC server not accepting connections

What do you recommend I do to troubleshoot this? I found the log in the Windows Event Viewer. When I look at properties, this is what I see for every attempt from localhost: SocketManager: unknown listener event: 0 But when I try to connect from a Linux machine on the subnet, it doesn't register anything. When I use nmap on the Linux box to look at the Windows box, I see that port 5900 is filtered rather than open. I was able to use vncviewer -listen on the Linux box to receive a connection from the VNC server on Windows. That worked but only momentarily. It locked up almost right away and then the VNC server crashed on Windows, including the usual Microsoft request to report the error, which I did.

Why does VNC 3.3.7 on Solaris do one thing and 4.1.3 on Linux not do that?
Hello! I have here two systems. One is a Solaris 10 from March 2005 installation on an UltraSPARC 5(10) system, and the other is a Slackware-12.1.0 system on Intel. The Solaris one is running 3.3.7 that was packaged by themselves (Sun) and can present me with both an xterm screen and an rxvt terminal screen. The Slackware-12.1 system is running 4.1.3 that was collected from the RealVNC site sometime ago, and was translated from the delivered rpm file. Both present me with the default twm screen manager and an xterm upon launching the viewer. This viewer always works no matter if its running on Windows Seven or Linux or Solaris. However I only get the necessary rxvt terminal on Solaris and 3.3.7. It causes VNC to complain regarding colors that it does not know about certain colors and causes a failed error code of -5 on 4.1.3 on Slackware-12.1. Incidentally this Linux system is wearing the XORG release common to Slackware from that time period. I believe it was 6.5. However running 4.1.3 of VNC on a Slackware-11.0 system causes everything to work properly. It has been suggested that the problem might be inherent to X instead of VNC but I am open to suggestions from the community. - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again. ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
