OpenSUSE :: VNC Connection Screen Does Not Update (vino)?
Dec 12, 2009
I've noticed that after updating opensuse to 11.2 from 11.1 vino is slighly different by its layout. Is there big changes in vino?My problem is that when I connect to vnc (from windows with tightvnc viewer), it asks password normally, and let me log in, but when the screen has "rendered" from up to down, it doesn't update it any more. It let me move the mouse, and if I test it locally from other computer in LAN, I see the mouse moving and text appearing when typing and windows moving when moving, but no changes in vnc viewer screen! I mean it doesn't update the differences at all.What could be the problem? I tried out realvnc as well, but it seems it is not in the viewer. Is it in vino? I have correct ports open and so, just like before. It worked in 11.1 but not in 11.2
I'm trying to use Gnome's built in remote desktop viewer, Vino, to remote to my PC. When I use the vnc client on another computer to get to my OpenSuse 11.1 box, it lets me type in a password and pauses. If I look at the screen on my OpenSuse box it is waiting for the gnome keyring password and it wanting it for vino-preferences. It specifically says: The application gnome remote desktop (/usr/bin/vino-preferences) wants access to the default keyring but it is locked.
Does anybody know how to bypass needing the password for this? I'm not sure how to begin to figure this out. I've been a longtime Fedora user and vino worked fine there so I don't think this is the way it is supposed to work.

my OS is SuSE 11.2 with gnome.Remote administration is active.The VNC-session then connects to the login-screen and after login opens a new desktop.How can vino be configured to attach to the desktop that is already running. (Ubuntu does that per default so it should be possible with SuSE too)

if I can update the OS (new security updates,patches etc also) on a system that ain't having any internet connection. Simply i would like to know if there is any packs like rpm/ tar files available, so that we can install the updates easily..I am using opensuse..
Download (curl) error for [URL]... Error code: Connection failed Error message: Failed to connect to 2a01:e0c:1:1598::1: Network is unreachable
I read somewhere that I should deactivate IPv6, which I did with no success. It seems to happen since I upgraded gnome following this link : Archive:GNOME 2.30 - openSUSE My Internet connection is of course alive and working.
i have huawei usb stick modem, i'm connecting to internet with wvdial command, i have configured the file "wvdial.conf" to be able to connect, everything works fine i guess but the update applet still show me the message
Code: Unable to check whether updates are available
connect to the internet and connection manager too .. it tell me i'm not connected, i think i must configure my connection in an other way .. but i don't know how ..
Recently I updated my openSUSE 11.2 and I'm not too sure what all were the recent updates but I suspect networkmanager also got updated. After I restarted my machine, my laptop fails to connect to the wireless access point. I tried both in gnome as well as KDE but the same error. This is the log I found in my /var/log/NetworkManager which I believe should give some pointers.
I did a search of this error in google and all I got were few results which complained about bugs in some debian distro.
My wireless card works fine and so does the access point I try to connect to since my Ubuntu installation is able to connect fine as well as my windows Xp.
I am having an issue with KPackageKit, actually 2 issues but one makes it unusable. The major issue is that when I go to apply the updates I get the following error message (at least here are the details of the message)
I do not run my connection through a proxy and my internet works correctly. This is on a laptop I upgraded using zypper from 11.3 to 11.4 (I did the same with a desktop which does not have this issue). zypper refresh successfully refreshes the repositories, and the various Yast repo tools all work correctly. Additionally after I am shown the updates and am prompted for root pw, the packages will no longer show up for a while, each time it tries to look for updates the message comes through but they will show up after a while again. The other issue I have is that it requests my pw multiple times, this also happens on my desktop that actually will update. I get prompted twice, they are immediate and back to back. This one is a little minor annoyance but there should be no reason that it needs to make this request multiple times.
I am from India, and I tried to update my Ubuntu system today. Code: $sudo apt-get update The update failed because the connection to the India mirror timed out: Code: [URL] Could not connect to in.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (111.91.91.37). - connect (110: Connection timed out) I tried the update a few times, with the same result every time.
I had firestarter running at this time, and noticed that I would get new security events every time I tried an update. I checked the events list, and it turned out that the machine at the ip address 111.91.91.37 (the in.archive.ubuntu.com machine, to go by the above error message) had been trying to make connections to seemingly random ports on the machine every time I tried the update: see the attached screenshot. I then changed my repositories to the Main Server using Synaptic, and tried the update again (from the command-line). This time it worked without a hitch, and firestarter did not report any unwanted incoming connection. why is the India mirror trying to open connections that the Main server apparently does not need in order for me to do the update? Should I (we) be concerned?
I was using irssi in screen but lost connection. After I ssh'd back in to the server, I can no longer attach to that screen. screen -ls shows that the screen is already attached. I tried screen -D to force detach it, and it said detach but screen -ls still says it's attached. I tried screen -x and it just hangs there.
[sub@server ~]$ screen -ls There are screens on: 4033.poe (Detached) 7728.irssi (Attached) 2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-sub.What can I do now?
I have a Linux box with Ubuntu 10.4 that I use basically to play music and download files. It doesn't have a monitor or keyboard, the only way I access it is using Ultra VNC. Yesterday, the automatic update service offered to update Vino (among other things) to version 2.28.2 and, as usual, I accepted.
After the update Ultra VNC has had trouble negotiating the protocol with Vino. The only way I got it to work was to force using Tight as the compression method, which provides a crappy image quality. Besides that, at some unexpected moment, the connection just dies.
Can anyone help me to: 1.- Solve this issue with the current Vino version or 2.- Go back to the previous version that was working perfectly.
Using 11.04. After an update by Update Manager, everything seems fine. but after I rebooted it fails to reach the log in screen. It shows Ubuntu is booting up, after that, it seems it has crash, though I managed to boot it up and go into my desktop in low graphics mode.As I'm new to Ubuntu,
I have a fileserver running debian 6 and I would like to be able to remote control it over VNC. I have enabled Remote Desktop in Gnome and it works, however I have to be logged into Gnome for it to work. Gnome doesn't enable vino before a user is logged in for some reason. This presents a problem as there is no keyboard or mouse connected letalone a screen.
I looked up the issue on google and found this: [URL] Long story short, I have to edit /etc/gdm/Init/Default and insert "/usr/lib/vino/vino-server &" just before 'exit 0' at the end of the file, and change "KillInitClients" to "false" in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. I edited the first one as it says, but I can't find gdm.conf anywhere. I did however find a 'daemon.conf' in the /etc/gdm directory, and added the line there.
When I try to connect after doing the above, my vnc viewer (client) just disappears - no errors, message, sound - nothing. It doesn't even ask for a password. I checked the comments in the link, and the second to last comment suggests it's because of some negotiating-issue which should be an easy fix:
Turned out I had to enable connections to vino not related to my user account. To do this run sudo vino-preferences and duplicate the settings instructed here
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday on a headless home server. I use the server for a variety of purposes, and what I don't know how to do via SSH I've alway been able to do through VNC. However, since the upgrade vino-server will no longer run if there isn't a monitor attached. Before it used to start up without a problem. Even by attempting to run the server via SSH gives me a "could not load display" error. Summary: I need to get vino-server running at boot time on a server with Ubuntu 10.04, without a monitor attached.
I have a dual monitor display with my Ubuntu 10.04 x64 setup and I need to configure Vino to default to the secondary monitor (which is actually screen 0.1). Does anyone know if this is possible?
I have recently added a second screen and uses separate X screens as my x screen settings. No xinerama. After adding the display Vino refuses to start. IIRC using dual X screens with xinerama works as expected.
Starting it manually results in code...
Is it even possible to use vino with two server-side x screens? I would be perfectly happy with only one X screen exposed via VNC if it is impossible in the VNC client to choose which X screen to connect to.
I usually remotely connect to a client server to make adjustment via the CLI.Occasionally I have to login into the desktop to understand some issues that my customer are trying to explain via Vino-Server. I have notice that sometimes when I attempt to login via ssh, I sometimes can see that a user has not logged into the GUI desktop which means that I cannot login into the remote desktop session to resolve any issues via the GUI. My question is:How can I remotely login via ssh and start a gnome or kde session for the user account that I am trying to resolve his or her issue?
I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on an older desktop and when I first installed Ubuntu I set up Remote Desktop Vino services and was able to connect just fine with my Windows XP, Windows 7, Leopard, Snow Leopard PCs and my iPhone using VNC all just fine. So I apply updates to my Linux box and now it's broken. I can not remote into my Ubuntu machine at all now. So something with the updates is broken. I don't really use my Ubuntu machine at all, all it is used for is for a dedicated Folding@Home server. I attached a screenshot as what my Remote Desktop settings look like.
I have recently added a second screen and uses separate X screens as my x screen settings. No xinerama. After adding the display Vino refuses to start. IIRC using dual X screens with xinerama works as expected.Starting it manually results in code...
so as my title implies I like to login to my headless debian box after it reboots yet havent found any info on that. Can someone please tell me of script which I suppose would be used to make vino start as a process right after boot

I am trying to setup multipath with failover policy on openSuSE 11. I have two qla2xxx HBA's installed and they appear to be working. Here is the output of "multipath -l" command
[Code]....
While testing, I pulled one of the two connection to SAN, and the connection failed over to second HBA connection to SAN. When I plug the cable back in, it does not fall back to original connection... It stays in failed state. Also, I noticed that failed disk (sdd disk) comes back as (sdg disk), which is probably why connection does not fall back to original HBA. But, when I run "/sbin/service multipathd restart" sdg disk shows as as enabled in multipath -l...
