I've been trying to re-stabilize a client for whom, aeons ago, I set up a multi-user persistent session VNC system on SuSE 9.x, uwing TightVNC 1.2.0 from RPM.
When I upgraded them to SuSE 11.2/3, the replacement Xvnc wouldn't accept mouseclicks, to I copied in the one from the older install, and it worked. They worked well for several years before the 11.x upgrade, and several years after. When I upgraded them to SuSE 12.1, the replacement Xvnc from the new Tight package wouldn't accept mouseclicks, so I again copied in the older one, and *it*, in its turn, wouldn't allow drag and drop, though everything else seemed to work ok. They lived with that for a while, and it's gone critical on me again, so I dug back into the problem, and tried out TigerVNC, since the Tight people tell me they aren't building for X/Linux anymore (which seems to me to be a pretty fine how d'you do...) Tiger installed ok, and it seems to work relatively well, drag and drop and mouseclicks are both fine, but on the Axel 75 terminals in their office, the screen paint is *cripplingly* slow; you can see the tiles paint. It seems to work fine with Linux TightVNC client and with Chicken of the VNC on the client's Mac -- *even from the office LAN*. A birdie whispered in my ear that TurboVNC was being developed a little more actively than Tiger, so I went and grabbed that. It seems to work about as well, or a little faster, than Tiger, *with the PC/Linux/Mac based clients... but now the Axel terminals (with RFB3.3 capable VNC firmware in their ROMs) *say they have connected*, but never paint a screen at all. A server X.log from the server for my "testuser", with connections from the LAN and from outside, is posted here, with a 1 month expiration: http://pastebin.com/0Pe9CVpp You'll note a bunch of extension missing messages; I had to trim out almost 25MB of those to make the paste; they're being generated constantly, and only by Turbo. Tiger and Tight don't seem to drop those. I'm using the prebuilt Xvnc from this package: turbovnc-1.1.95.tar.gz uname -a: Linux patriot 3.1.10-1.16-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 27 05:21:40 UTC 2012 (d016078) i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux and there's an ldconfig -v at the end of the paste, in case that's helpful. Happy to supply any other non-obvious config information anyone thinks useful... and if I do get the connection to work, I will need to figure out those errors; they're pretty high-rate.
