 Posted: Fri Aug 07, 2009 10:24 am Post subject: See in vnc my kde environment and not a new session[solved] |
 |
|
i fixed my vnc after a post here and i can login from putty and tightvnc in my home gentoo machine.the thing is that i want to see my desktop as it is.let me explain, the problem is that when I connect i open a new session, and when I close that session, all tasks running closes too.Is there a way to login to the session running in my server and keep it open when I close down tightvnc client, and then reconnect to that session on another time?is it possible to login and see exactly what i see in my pc(menus,taskbar etc)?
For now i just have fluxbox in my xstartup like that
| Quote: |
xrdb $HOME/ .Xrecourses
xsetroot -solid gray
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
exec fluxbox
|
and do my job but is there a way to make it right?
thanks in advance
EDIT:if i just add this line in my xstartup
| Quote: |
exec /etc/init.d/xdm restart
|
i get a gray screen as when we where first installing beryl if you remember.though maybe because of compiz running in my home server and killed it but the same thing happens
thanks

| x11vnc should allow you to connect to running sessions, alternatively you could use nxserver-freenx which itself uses x11vnc |

Have you tried the x11vnc '-ncache' VNC client-side pixel caching feature yet?
The scheme stores pixel data offscreen on the VNC viewer side for faster
retrieval. It should work with any VNC viewer. Try it by running:
x11vnc -ncache 10 ...

and stops there waiting for some reason.plz if you have time give more info
thanks again |

| If you build vnc with the server flag, you can add the following line to the Module section: You can then connect. |

If you connect to screen :0 (port 5900), you get your existing session. This is independent of what you actually run in session :0, doesn't matter if fluxbox or something else. |

Let me make myself clear.i connect through screen :1(5901) and i only have a terminal to work with.i want to connect and see my taskbar,my windows and the apps allready running.but from the start i only get a terminal,i understand that it doesn't matter for fluxbox or icewm but i don't get what i want.should i do it with x11vnc as baaann proposed or i should just configure what i have??

The answer has been given several times. You need to stop freaking out.
On the remote machine, where your X desktop is running, you run x11vnc with no args. It will default to using the first X session, which would be your current desktop. It stops because it is waiting for you to connect on your local machine. On the local machine, you connect like usual with VNC, but make sure that you connect to :0, not :1 (unless your remote machine has the desktop on :1 or whatever). When you disconnect, x11vnc will exit, but your desktop will remain running. There is an option to make x11vnc continue to run (read the man page). |

I understand very well what you want zoe. And you've been given two choices on how to achieve it.
One is x11vnc. The other is net-misc/vnc. Which comes with a module you load via xorg.conf. Then you can connect to :0 (port 5900). |
