VNC connection fails: vino<->vinagre
Hello,
I cannot get a vnc connection to my headless PC over the home network. I'm trying to connect from Linux Mint Petra w/ Cinnamon, while the headless box has LMDE w/ Mate, I've been trying this for a while, but it hasn't worked yet unless I connect the LMDE box to a screen and enable vnc connections from its own desktop. I have vino installed on LMDE, and I can connect to it using vinagre on the client side, but I just see a black rectangle in the vinagre screen, that's it. As soon as I make the connection, I get a pop-up that says a remote computer is trying to get access to my desktop. I don't get to allow or deny though, the pop-up just disappears if I click it, the vnc screen stays black. Here is some output from vino: Code:
~ $ /usr/lib/vino/vino-server |
The way I understand is that you need to by default enable a connection for every connection attempt. So that means starting vino each time from that machine.
Try setting a default password for vino using Code:
vino-password |
it says
Code:
vino-password: command not found |
Because vino has quite a few bugs and a few people on mailing lists have mentioned issues similar to yours. Many of them managed to run that command and had success connecting after that.
That is just something I thought may be worth trying. |
Hi
I was also struggeling with vino on Linux Mint. Then I found this guide: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopi...f=157&t=109097 The x11vnc way workds great. |
this is incredibly frustrating.
I did what was described there (http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopi...f=157&t=109097), i.e. I added that line at the end of /etc/mdm/Init/Default, so now it looks like this: Code:
#!/bin/sh |
