Title: Vnc Viewer
Post by: case on April 07, 2007, 06:05:07 am

Hi,

I am looking for a good vnc client/server for my Z with the Sharp ROM.

I have seen in previous posts that opie vnc and fb vnc are out there.

I have found the fb vnc server, but all the links to opie vnc are dead in the forum messages I have tried.  Could someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks..........

It looks like opie-keypebble is a VNC viewer (or there is one) here:

Hi,

thanks for the link.  I am having problems with it.  It lists the files but there is no ipk file.  I usually like to have the ipk file on my main computer as a backup incase I need it in the future.  

Any help appreciated...........

You need to add [a href=\"http://bryandeluca.com/cacko/feed/]http://bryandeluca.com/cacko/feed/[/url] as a feed in your package manager. I used wget to get opie-keypebble for you though.

To do that yourself, look for the file name in the first URL I gave you, then type

Code: [Select]

wget http://bryandeluca.com/cacko/feed/PACKAGEFILENAME
in a terminal, and it will download the package for you. Not as easy as adding the feed, but it works.

Hi,

Thank you.  I am a newbie to Linux and did not know you could use wget to get a file that way.  I actually like that better than adding it to my feed list.  As I said above I like to have a copy of the original file somewhere just in case the feed disappears or I cannot find it.

thanks again

You learn something new every day!

I like to back my stuff up as well, especially the packages that I compile. Those can be a pain to rebuild.

Anyway, glad I could help, and I hope that was the right package.
