VNC

[toolshed]

I am running OZ 3.2.

I downloaded the fbvncserver package from the openzaurus stable feed and cannot get it to stay running. I do a nmap  of my connecting which is a cf wireless card and the port will just die off after running for a second or two.

Code: [Select]

[toolshed@localhost toolshed]$ nmap 192.168.129.201

I click on the icon create and it runs(no dialog comes up or anything saying it is running).

So i assume the vncserver is not running and the reason i get this message from my client machine

Code: [Select]

[toolshed@localhost toolshed]$ vncviewer 192.168.129.201

This copy from my feed has worked for me:

http://www.tekprosystems.com/zaurus/downlo...r_0.9-4_arm.ipk

After the app is insatlled, reboot the Z and tap the upper left and lower right corners of the display after opie comes up to configure the pointer for VNC, then start the server.

If you get an error in the package installer after installing the app, follow the instructions below (they were taken from somewhere in the middle of the following thread: http://www.zaurus.com/dev/board/index.php?...wtopic=7048&hl= )

- First, figure out what destination you used when you installed the app. Root? Card?
For root, cd /usr/lib/ipkg
For card, cd /mnt/card/usr/lib/ipkg
For cf, cd /mnt/cf/usr/lib/ipkg

- vi status

- Find the paragraph for fbvncserver (or atd)

- Change the \"Status:\" line for fbvncserver from:

Status: install ok unpacked

to:

Status: install ok installed

- :wq to quit vi

You shouldn\'t see the message anymore when you install other packages.....

I guess the proper way to fix the problem is to correct the postinst script and then re-install the apps.

Thanks I got the vncviewer to connect  and display the zaurus screen but it seems my mouse does not work or keyboard either.

If I do something on the zaurus, my PC client displays it...but the PC client mouse and keyboard does not work in the vncviewer screeen.

How will i know if the \" configure the pointer for VNC\" was configured properly?

[ScottYelich]

I notice that with SOME ipks... they want interactive installation
and that will break and otherwise confuse the hell out of the package managers.
You will not be able to install another ipk until you get past this one, etc.

simply solution:  just go to command line and run ipkg install blah ...
and you\'ll get a chance to finish the stuck install or kill it, etc.

Well  i do not think it is an install problem becuase I  cna connect and my zaurus viewer comes up on PC clien with vncviewer. The problem is that my mouse and keyboard do not work on my PC client side., THe zaurus transmits the correct data to the client.

Do you thiink my packets are not getting to zaurus? I

After the app is insatlled, reboot the Z and tap the upper left and lower right corners of the display after opie comes up to configure the pointer for VNC, then start the server.

Did you do a full reboot through the shutdown app on in the system tab before attempting to configure the mouse?  This is very important.

There is not way that I know of tell if the mouse was configured properly without testing it; you won\'t get a confirmation from the app.  Details are here (note that the downloads here are for Sharp ROM only, but the instructions are the same)

As noted, you should:

- Uninstall current install
- Install VNC Server
- Reboot Z
- Calibrate once Opie restarts (Uper left, Lower right)

Yup i have tried a full reinstall and then full applet reboot twice. I think i am just  not timing it right or something.
