LinuxQuestions.org - [solved] x0vncserver 1.9.0 on 14.2

1.9.0 works well in 14.2, especially a usable cursor and key mappings for x0vncserver. Details: https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/releases

Assuming an already working 1.6.0, copy only the tigervnc 1.9.0 source and SlackBuild from -current to 14.2 extra/source/tigervnc and rebuild as usual.

Enjoy:

Code:

HOST=remote_machine

USER=remote_user

PORT=5959



ssh $HOST \

"sudo su -c \"DISPLAY=:0 x0vncserver -rfbport $PORT -passwordfile /home/$USER/.vnc/passwd\" $USER &"



vncviewer ${HOST}:${PORT} & disown

Outside of a secure LAN environment, ssh tunneling works as always but note that the x0vncserver component can easily generate +5MB/s so somewhat heavier than vncserver.

Cheers,
