Hi all, Today, for our trans-atlantic remote pairing at TIM Group, we experimented with TigerVNC in place of TightVNC. The results are very promising however there are some outstanding issues which I'd like to ask about.
Note: I couldn't find a proper Ubuntu 12.04 LTS release of TigerVNC 1.3.1. We are therefore using a nightly build obtained here: http://tigervnc.sourceforge.net/tiger.nightly/ Specifically, these two .deb files: xtigervncviewer_1.3.80+20140323svn5176-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb tigervncserver_1.3.80+20140323svn5176-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb Result: basic VNC functionality is far faster, less latency, and higher fidelity than what we have used previously. Issues: 1. CTRL key chords don't work 2. Clipboard doesn't work between client windows Issue 1: CTRL key chords don't work ------------------------------------------------- I noticed that CTRL-C, -V, -S, etc were not working. Using xev, I was able to determine that KeyPress events seen across the VNC connection were not the same events that are seen locally. Specifically, while the (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L) KeyPress is sent, the (keysym 0x73, s) keypress is replaced with some other garbage. Is anyone else seeing this issue? Issue 2: Clipboard doesn't work between client windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Working around issue (1) by using mouse-driven menus to copy and paste, I attempted to copy text from one VNC client window and paste it into another. This failed everytime. Thanks everyone for the great work on this project. Please let me know if I can be of anymore assistance in diagnosing these issues.
