[SOLVED] VNC server

[Koubiacz]

Hello,

I want to install a VNC server on my RaspberryPi.

When I made pacman -S tightvnc or pacman -S tightvnc
The result is «error :target not found»
I updated the repositories with «pacman -Syy» but it did not change anything.

Is tightvnc works with Arch Linux Arm?

Thx

The package you want is x11vnc.

[krabat]

TightVNC isn't part of the official repositories any more. You might want to try TigerVNC / package tigervnc which is a fork instead.

x11vnc can afaik be used similarly but its main purpose is providing access to the X server running on hardware which is somewhat different from the mode of operation of Tight/TigerVNC.

If You should insist on using TightVNC, it's still available from the AUR of Arch Linux x86. Building the package on Arch Linux ARM does require some tweaking of PKGBUILD, though.

OK, I'll try with x11vnc.
Are you a tutorial it to make it work with lxde?

Thx

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Koubiacz', 'A')re you a tutorial it to make it work with lxde?

[Koubiacz]

I followed the instructions.

LXDE starts up automatically with autologin.

As against that when I want to connect to the VNC server from another computer, the password I chose with "x11vnc -storepasswd" is not recognized

[Koubiacz]

I solved the problem

I replaced
[ -x /usr/bin/x11vnc ] && /usr/bin/x11vnc -forever -display :0 -rfbauth ~/.x11vnc/passwd &
by
[ -x /usr/bin/x11vnc ] && /usr/bin/x11vnc -forever -display :0 -rfbauth /home/<MY_USER_NAME>/.vnc/passwd &

And it works.
Thank you for your help

For the sake of completeness: unless you really are in need for VNC, the alternatives like x2go are also worth a look...

[Koubiacz]

hello,
I did not know x2go.

I chose VNC because I already use it on two other computers.
I already Tight VNC client installed on my Windows computer

xrpd is another option. It runs over tigervnc, but allows login with windows remote desktop.
