Re: GUI tool to show logged in users, copy/paste not working

2013-04-09 Thread Todd Strader
Dan,

I'm not familiar with TeamViewer, but your copy-and-past problem can
probably be solved with vncconfig.  You have to start this process on the
VNC server to enable clipboard transfers.  It's been a while since I've
messed with mine, but I believe you need to start it up in GUI mode (no
options) to configure the behavior.  After that you can use the -nowin
option to run it in the background.

Hope this helps.

Todd

 Hi VNC list!

 TeamViewer includes a little desktop app that shows all users currently
 logged onto a session. Is there no such thing for vncserver when running
 under X11? Seeing as we're running KDE currently on our Ubuntu 12.04
 running vnc4server a plasmoid that shows logged in VNC users + their IPs
 would be ideal. If no such app exists, what is the best way to check for
 logged in VNC users on a vnc4server via the terminal?

 We are accessing our vnc server using RealVNC viewer, mainly under 64-bit
 Windows 7 but copy/paste doesn't seem to work - why not? I thought VNC
 supported copy/paste? Are there any settings I should check on the server
 or clients to enable this?

 Thanks for your help!

 Dan

This totally depents on the server side setup... If the users all get 
their own X11 session by inet.d, then just scan the process list for 
xvnc-executables and their users. if the users all connect to existing 
X11 sessions, it is up to the way these sessions enable vnc and if/how 
the connections are logged. In the end, you can always scan the 
connected sessions (netstat -a) and do an educated guess for the X11/VNC 
sessions.

Between msWindows and X11 there are some differences the way the 
copy-buffers are used. On msWindows there is a sinlge buffer that can 
handle roughly everything (except for the kitchen sink ;-). On unix / 
X11, there are more of these buffers. By head I think there is the 
selection buffer and about 10 cut/copy buffers. All of these can only 
handle ascii text. In the beginning of VNC, there just was no connection 
between the local and remote buffers, except for the keyboard buffer. 
Current handling depends first on the used vnc-server, next on the used 
viewer. Check their documentation for details.
