I strongly recommend using tigervnc instead of x11vnc, it works pretty nicely.

May be there is some command line flags I am not aware of? Thank you. Well, after some rethinking I've decided to use ssh port forwarding, because I just need an access to one internal server. -- With best regards, Gregory Edigarov

Can you not just "ssh -Y" into your machine and then launch Chrome from the command line? At least, you'd get some debug info. -- Ottavio Caruso
ssh X forwarding and google-chrome
Hello, everybody does anybody know if there is any tricks? In my office pc (currently linux) I have google-chrome installed, and I absolutely need to access it from home. "ssh -Y google-chrome" just shows an empty and blank window, no menu, no address bar. May be there is some command line flags I am not aware of? Thank you.

You could try google-chome --disable-gpu, though I don't know if that still works. Alex.

Unless you have 1 Gigabit or higher ssh -Y will be sluggish. Just use x11/x2goclient https://openports.pl/path/x11/x2goclient if you can install x2goserver on your work desktop. It is an insecure Perl wrapper around NX NoMachine protocol which is just cleverly compressed ssh -Y. NoMachine used to be free for up to 2 clients but no longer. Cheers, Predrag P.S. You should never use ssh -X (insecure X tunneling on non-local networks).

If you absolutely must access something on one machine and ssh forwarding doesn't work, you could look at VNC-solutions such as x11vnc (available as a package on OpenBSD, probably also on your linux distro of choice).
