 |
|
I have tightvnc installed and vncserver used to work, but now vncserver seems to be missing. I'm using amd64 and did recently move to modular Xorg, not sure if that has anything to do with the problem.
I'd appreciate it if someone has a solution or suggestion.[/code]

You need to add the 'server' USE flag for tightvnc.
| Code: | | echo "net-misc/tightvnc server" >> /etc/portage/package.use |

Don't know how I missed that. Thanks so much, that seems to have worked!

What is really annoying is that tightvnc doesnt list server as one of its use flags....
| Code: | christth-linux tightvnc-1.2.9-r3 # emerge -pv tightvnc
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] net-misc/tightvnc-1.2.9-r3 USE="tcpd -java" 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
christth-linux tightvnc-1.2.9-r3 #
|
So how is one supposed to know USE server when it isnt listed?
This wasted a couple of hours of my time this morning

That's odd, on my machine it does:
| Code: | jfb3@gamobile ~ $ emerge -pv tightvnc
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] x11-misc/gccmakedep-1.0.2 USE="-debug" 68 kB
[ebuild N ] x11-misc/xorg-cf-files-1.0.2 USE="-debug" 258 kB
[ebuild N ] x11-misc/imake-1.0.2 USE="-debug" 110 kB
[ebuild N ] net-misc/tightvnc-1.2.9-r3 USE="java tcpd -server" 1,697 kB
Total size of downloads: 2,135 kB
