Hey LQ,

I really want to use KRFB to act as a VNC server because it's built into KDE and is so close to being ULTRA simple to set up however, for whatever reason I cannot save the values put into the Utility.

https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kdene...sing-krfb.html

As you can see from the link posted, IP address, password, unattended access, and the unattended password cannot be saved to persist through reboots. The IP address for w/e reason also cannot be manually adjusted, the utility just seems to pick whatever it feels is the most likely IP address to listen on. I have dual NICs in my Kubuntu server and a host of VM's and each time I launch this utility it seems to be a roll of the dice which IP it gives me.

Surely this utility is saving these settings somewhere in a text file right? I should be able to edit it manually and then write protect it so that it stays that way through reboots?

I actually posted on the KDE forums specifically but didn't get any closer to my goal.

Any tips?

The IP address shown is just a hint. Use the address that you know is correct.

I thought as long as the icon was on the system tray the service is still running even through reboots. That feature might depend on version.

You cannot edit the IP address. What appears in that text field is what you get. Every reboot the values reset to whatever the program is deciding. Is it not possible to find where these values are set and keep them that way?

So if you don't use the address shown you can not connect. I was under the impression you can use any address available. Obviously one on the desired subnet as the client if connection is on your lan.

The time I tested my vm had only one interface.
