All problems except keyboard repeating issue should be fixed in tigervnc-0.0.90-0.6.20090427svn3789.fc11. Keyboard issue will be tracked under bug #497835. If problems still exist please note here. I tried the above-mentioned server, and this is what I get when I start up the server: localhost.localdomain:corey-61% vncserver -depth 16 -geometry 1280x875 WARNING: The first attempt to start Xvnc failed, possibly because the X Font Server is not running and this system does not use a font catalog. Attempting to determine an appropriate font path for this system and restart Xvnc using that font path ... Could not start Xvnc. If I run the 0.0.90-0.5 version, this problem does not occur. I should mention that after seeing that error message, I installed the xfs package and started up the xfs service: localhost.localdomain:corey-68% /sbin/service xfs status xfs (pid 16168) is running... Uninstalling the 0.6 version and reinstalling the 0.5 version got me going again (but with the know bugs, of course). My previous comments were not clear... I'd like to clarify that starting up the xfs server did *not* solve the problem; the error message still occurs even with the xfs server running. Hm, do you have xorg-x11-fonts-misc package installed? I just now tried that and it did indeed fix the problems (except for the key repeat). So this is a change of behavior that we now need xfs and the misc fonts package installed? Should these xorg packages be on the list of dependencies of the tigervnc-server rpm? I opened separate bug for missing dependency (bug #498184). Installation of xorg-x11-fonts-misc is sufficient and running xfs is not required. I have tigerVNC 0.91-0.11.fc11 installed. Worked great while I was on the same internal network on a fresh Fedora install. Connecting from home with Cisco VPN to that same network, using TightVNC Viewer version 1.3.9, the desktop still works correctly, but the session will not accept any keyboard entries ... just mouse clicks. I'm stumped. Is there a configuration change I missed? I just freshly installed FC12 (2.6.31.6-134.fc12.x86_64). As root: service vncserver start returns: WARNING: The first attempt to start Xvnc failed, possibly because the X Font Server is not running and this system does not use a font catalog. Attempting to determine an appropriate font path for this system and restart Xvnc using that font path ... Could not start Xvnc. I do have xorg-x11-fonts-misc installed. Is it possible that the bug-fix mentioned above did not propagated into FC12? In any case what can I do here? Thanks, Andrew |
