Description Cédric OLIVIER 2013-02-02 14:55:52 UTC
Description of problem: Listen option is not recognized in this new revision, but always in vncviewer man page and usage.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tigervnc.x86_64 1.2.80-0.8.20130124svn5036.fc18

Command used by gitso, is "vncviewer -listen". With an old tigervnc rpm (tigervnc-1.1.0-6.1) it works fine :

$ vncviewer -listen

But with a recent rpm (tigervnc-1.2.80-0.8.20130124svn5036) it doesn't work :

vncviewer -listen

This bug is ignored upstream since more than one year:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3477054&group_id=254363&atid=1126848

Really sad since remmina-plugins-vnc does not work with "UltraVNC Single Click" :(

Comment 2 Terje Røsten 2013-02-04 09:44:37 UTC
How is this possible?

If not this is fixed, package must be downgraded to FC17 version.

Comment 3 Davide Repetto 2013-02-05 08:43:06 UTC
Before it worked by removing the dash before listen as in:
[code]vncviewer listen[/code]

but now it gives the following error:

[davide@dave ~]$ vncviewer listen

Same problem here. I vote for downgrade too, if this is not fixable.

Comment 5 David Jansen 2013-02-26 12:37:14 UTC
Following the link posted here, I saw upstream has it marked as a duplicate of http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3429667&group_id=254363&atid=1126848 and that issue has recent updates, including a not that it should be fixed in trunk.

It is already fixed in upstream. I'm preparing bigger update for tigervnc which will also fix this issue but update is currently blocked on bug #896648 which is not solved, yet. However I can build package with "-listen" support in koji if you cannot wait for some more time...

Yes, please :-) That will help testing too.
