Description Michael Kearey 2009-06-26 13:29:59 UTC
Description of problem:
gnome-rdp application in set to use tightvncviewer to launch a VNC protocol connection. tightvnc is not in the Fedora repo's, _tigervnc_ is. Tiger VNC has vncviewer

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-rdp-0.2.3-3.fc11

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install gnome-rdp -y
2. run gnome-rdp
3. Create a session, set it to use VNC protocol
4. Start the session by double clicking it
  
Actual results:
Session does not start, and a popup appears :

xtightvncviewer seems not to be installed.

In addition, console messages :

$ gnome-rdp 
ApplicationName='vncpasswd', CommandLine='/tmp/tmp5689b522.tmp', CurrentDirectory='/'
 -viewonly  -passwd /tmp/tmp5689b522.tmp localhost
ApplicationName='xtightvncviewer', CommandLine=' -viewonly  -passwd /tmp/tmp5689b522.tmp localhost', CurrentDirectory='/'



Expected results:
Should create a vncviewer process

Additional info:
Quick look at the source shows the use of tightvncviewer in src/Main.cs file:


   320                 Console.WriteLine(par);
    321                                 prc = new ProcessCaller(
    322                                         "xtightvncviewer", 
    323                                         par, 
    324                                         "/", 
    325                                         false,
    326                                         config.Password, 
    327                                         this.wndMain);
    328                                 prc.StartProcess();
    329                         }



I think a small change , replacing tightvncviewer with 'vncvier'  will fix the problem.

Sorry about the mistaken update tag.

I tried changing the xtightvncviewer as suggested, however this launches the vncviewer but does not hand off the password correctly. I'll look into this deeper and see if I can get it going using tiger.

I had to make the modification and include both tigervnc and tigervnc-server (for vncpasswd). It appears to be functional now.
