vino-server + vncviewer / remmina

Hi,

I have an Arch box with GNOME 3 and a Slackware 14.0 box with KDE4. I tried installing tightvnc on Arch and was able to access view my Arch desktop before - it was a simple twm then. Now I'm set to vino. I disabled my firewall just to make sure and saw that upon starting, vino-server is running:

Code:

$ ps -e

...

12284 ?        00:00:00 vino-server

...

and my machine was listening for connections on port 5900:

Code:

$ netstat -nl | grep 5900

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5900            0.0.0.0:*              LISTEN    

tcp6      0      0 :::5900                :::*                    LISTEN

I used vinagre to view my own GNOME desktop, a stupid test, but anyway it worked. But I wasn't able to view from the Slackware box. I tried to use Remmina but it failed, the program crashed. I suppose its a bug because running it from the command line I got this when I clicked on the connect button and the program crashed:

Code:

remmina: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/remmina/plugins/remmina-plugin-vnc.so: undefined symbol: gnutls_global_init

So I tried vncviewer. But again:

Code:

$ vncviewer <machine name or machine ip>::5900

bash: /usr/bin/vncviewer: No such file or directory

Ideas?

:scratch:

Although you have software installed you still have to configure machine to recieve connection. In Debian it's as easy as going to "RemoteDesktop" a gui program & select allow incoming connections & wheter or not it should require password.

Well, I tried to do just that. I was told that using vino-preferences I'd be ready to go. I'm on Arch using GNOME 3.8.

I installed the tightvnc package of a different architure on the Slackware box :doh: Reinstalled it and now it says:

Code:

$ vncviewer <machine name>::5900

Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.7

Server did not offer supported security type

So, how do I set this up with vino?

I use vinagre & also vnc4server

So...?

Where do you think the problem is? On my VNC client or my server? Or maybe they aren't compatible, meaning that if I had vinagre as a client on the remote machine it'd work?

In Remote Desktop you can setup to accept internet connections at which time it will tell you the address for local which might be <machine@localhost> I will login to my machine in a feq to & let you know how mine reads for local host & for login from another network as it is another address.
