x11vnc server and tightvnc viewer packages for Dingo
x11vnc server and tightvnc viewer packages for Dingo
Here's a couple of pet packages compiled in Puppy 4 Dingo.
X11vnc is a remote desktop server which allows one to view remotely and interact with real X displays (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer. In this way it plays the role for Unix/X11 that WinVNC plays for Windows.

Tightvnc viewer is used for connecting to a computer running a vncserver so that you can control it remotely.

Tightvnc also makes packages for Windows (2000/XP) so you could control a computer running Puppy from Windows or vise versa. The Tightvnc viewer pet package also includes libXp.so.6.2.0 which is part of Xorg.
I have a computer attached to my TV that I use for watching youtube and hulu videos. So with x11vnc I can use my laptop as a big remote control.
After installing the package and restarting JWM, you should find them under Menu - Network. Click the Help button in the x11vnc-gui for more information.

Also, x11vnc was compiled with the -DSMALL_FOOTPRINT=2 config option. Which makes the binary smaller, but gets rid of the help file. So if you need to know the command line options, you'll need to go to x11vnc's home page.
Just to be clear, x11vnc server differs from other vnc servers in that it shows display number 0. That's the display you normally use. So if your looking at the computer running x11vnc server and someone else is connected with a vnc viewer you'll both be looking at the same thing. You can both fight over the mouse
If you want to have a different desktop for the users connecting with a vnc viewer, then you probably want tightvnc server:

x11vnc_server-0.9.4B.pet
After installing the x11vnc_server-0.9.4B.pet my computer forgot who it was.
The hostname disappeared and when queried comes up with this:
To get around it I placed the following in "etc/rc.d/rc.local":
And it works.

Hi,
I have used X11vnc server however it behaves very strangely when I use rdesktop.
In a sh file I activate x11vnc server after that it run rdesktop.
When rdesktop session ends, you get back to normal desktop on puppy.
But vncviewer from another machine still shows the rdesktop screen frozen and nothing can be done via vnc.
Is there a tightvnc server for Puppy 4.0 ?
I found one version 1.3.9 that gives lib errors...
Regards,
Burzek

Hi,
I have installed the viewer pet in a Puppy 4.1 frugal install on a laptop in order to access an OSX media server on the home LAN. When i start vncviewer from the command line in rxvt the pop up window appears and i write the IP adress that is given to the server. The output in rxvt looks like this:
I guess that the viewer is default configured to login via password authentication, but the server has authentication disabled (not so wise maybe but anyway...). Is it possible to get the viewer to start either without the password option, or maybe without connecting to any server, so that I can configure it via the GUI? I don't see any applicable option shown in the -help info.
Regards
Ola

Puppy 4.10 Dingo - no sugar added - but maybe a little piece of fat-free...?
Hi,
I run Puppy 4.20
I ran Tighvnc I downloaded with pet but could not connect to puppy with tightvnc from winxp. It timed out all the time without connecting (No password prompt)
then I tried xvnc and got in straight away.
You said...
any reason would be appreciated. X11vnc is working but if I don't ask then I won't learn.

There seems to be more then the above difference or tightvnc for puppy needs more config. I set the display geometry to 800x600 and even then it did not work.kirk wrote:

how would i access two puppy pcs connected to a router...when my puppy pc is on another connection, other then that router?
easily done when i'm on the same network...jus type in the 192 ip address associated with that computer...but not as easy when i'm on a different connection. i know port forwarding has to be set up...but from there, not sure how to forward the right port, on the right computer, or how to set the displays to the right port to forward etc.
hopefully u catch my drift...but stuck in a tight spot. i can easily accomplish this on windows, having a hard time on puppy.
anyone understand my situation and can maybe help me out??

OK, the x11vnc on the remastered CD won't allow the viewer to connect to the server. Apart from this, everything looks normal so I don't know where to look at.
I tried changing the vnc port to 5900 by using the command "x11vnc -rfbport 5900" but it doesn't solve the problem. It works only when I reinstall the pet package again.
