the only really bad desktop linux fail ive had in the last year or so so far was trying to stream video from a remote windows machine with xfreerdp which was a stupid idea, admittedly.

does any decent remote desktop/vnc situation exist for gnome to actually replicate display :0 instead of creating a new desktop? I know wayland doesn't support it (lmao) but I've tried switching to xorg and i can't get xrdp or x11vnc to work either. I'm just trying to set up something so I can have an old computer hooked to my tv, which i can control from an rdp session on my laptop, for streaming sports once in a while. im running fedora 29

Notorious b.s.d. posted:well you figured out the correct tool: x11vnc does exactly what you want. it connects (as a client) to the existing display, and exposes a vnc endpoint. yeah, i finally figured out the basic problem with establishing the connection was i was trying to use `-auth /run/user/my-uid/gdm/Xauthority` instead of `-auth /run/user/gdm-users-uid/gdm/Xauthority`. Now to figure out why I can move the mouse but not type...

The bit about using /run/user/42/gdm/Xauthority I got from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/x11vnc#GDM which made it sound like I should be using that file instead of the one in my home dir when using GDM/Gnome. Going that route at least gets me on and connected, trying to use the .Xauthority file in my home dir results in No protocol specified, XOpenDisplay(":0") failed. This is the command I'm running: x11vnc -rfbauth /home/me/.vnc/passwd -nap -many -norepeat 5 -alwaysshared -dontdisconnect -shared -nolookup -auth /home/me/.Xauthority -rfbport 5900 -no6 -display :0 -noxdamage vs sudo x11vnc -rfbauth /home/me/.vnc/passwd -nap -many -norepeat 5 -alwaysshared -dontdisconnect -shared -nolookup -auth /run/user/42/gdm/Xauthority -rfbport 5900 -no6 -display :0 -noxdamage which at least gets me to the remote greeter login/lock screen. I can even click around the screen there, but the password field is in a greyed out type state. post hole digger fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Feb 13, 2019 |
