Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

none that I know of. You have to click the title bar and click keyboard->send other keys->delete
kind of tedious.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

That is a bit of a pain, but thanks for the reply :)

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

hallo cue

I tried your solution with the vnc4server

i ssh into my desktop and run
code
vnc4server -geometry 800x480

this go's ok
it creates a screen and a passwoord
serv:1
password

then i exit the ssh and type in this code on the N900
code
vncviewer --hostname=serv:1 --password=PASSWORD

it opens the vncviewer but then it tels me: could not connect to server

what am i doing wrong here

some extra info
I run a ubuntu 10.04 32bit
its a fresh install so vino is also on it
installed openssh
installed vnc4server

N900
installed vnc viewer

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Hi dispie

I'm not sure why you can't connect but try enabling remote desktop from
system>preferences>remote desktop

it should work. if it still won't connect try opening vncviewer on the n900 from the app menu instead of using the terminal and input your_IP_address:1 and not the server name. Then it should ask for the password if the connection is alright.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Hi everyone!

I finally got my setup to work. I use the vncviewer on a N900 and Ubuntu 10.04 with x11vnc and the -noxdamage option as the server I want to control.

It's connecting fine (just in my Intranet for now, comming from outside would be the next step), it refreshes find, but I got one problem left, that was mentioned before.

Every letter I type in the viewer ist per default upper case (capitalized). I only manage lower case if I keep pressing shift and then the letters.

Any ideas what I could do?

Thanks

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Hi!

additional Info, I played around with the x11vnc keyboard options on my ubuntu (host) system. Turning modtweak off solved the upper case problem, but then the 'blue' alternative values on the keyboard do no longer match the results.

I also use vino as a host vnc again on an ubuntu system. I also have the problem with upper case characters there, but can't tweak the host.

So I assume, that the client on the N900 is sending upper case characters!?

Anyone experiencing the samt thing or with any ideas how to solve this?

Appreciated, cheers!

turn of auto-capitalisation on the n900 settings/text input menu.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

It's a general issue - there's a bug logged about it (https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...d=119&atid=505) to which I've just posted a suggested fix (works for me anyway, though presumably it'll need testing on the older NITs). As Cue says, the alternative is disabling auto-capitalisation altogether.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Hi Cue!

I can't believe it was that easy. I would have never thought down that route. Well thanks a lot, for me it's solved, as I thought about switching that feature off anyway. Now I got the final reason for doing so! :)

Cheers

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Does anyone have the same issue I have with this? It connects, however if i'm using it to view a windows pc... I just get a black screen, although the movements DO control the windows pc.

If I use it to control ubuntu, I get the desktop, but as I move things, nothing on the n900 screen moves, but does on the actual machine as if the n900 isn't refreshing.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Not seen that one, no - which VNC server are you using?

That looks to be an incompatibility with the server used in Ubuntu - see http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...7&postcount=46. If available, try installing tightvnc or tigervnc instead.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

I wonder if you know how to solve this problem.

On the N900 i am using xtightvncviewer and cannot scroll up or left on the scroll bars, as on the desktop version it needs a mouse to left and right click to move up/down/left/right.

Have you found a solution to your problem.

I hope there is a solution.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

ewo and maybe garvint, you need to calibrate the n900 screen. The calibration in firmware PR1.2 was fixed, it was a known issue, so I would also recommend you update your n900 if you haven't already done so then calibrate your n900s screen (that is if you are using an n900)

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Thanks for the reply. I have updated the phone and calibrated the screen. The problem with scrolling in xtightvncviewer (inside ssh) is that it is designed for a desktop not the phone. so it requires a right click on a mouse to scroll up/down/left/right. Is there another way to use xtightvncviewer to scroll though the output screen. i cant find anyway yet. i also can't configure in ubuntu vino the -geometry output.

If anyone can help?

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

I'm somewhat confused. Are you using a remote vncviewer through ssh x forwarding? or an alternative viewer than the vncviewer in the repos.
if you wish to right click with the native n900 vncviewer that is currently in the repos hold the volume button (i think volume down) then click.

vino does not have a -geometry flag in ubuntu, not one I could get working anyway. I installed vnc4server and use -geometry.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Does anyone read/fix issues with VNC viewer? All bugs there are over a month old, including this one, that popped on PR1.2 (a while ago). This capitalization thing is killing me. Logging on has become a chore, I have to use OSK on the remote system.

Also, a few features added would also help a lot, like zooming out/reducing screen - every time I log in to my big machines with dual HD or better screens I feel like a gynecologist. Plus, the viewer hardly loads the CPU as it is, there's room.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

hi everyone

plz help.

(sorry for my english)

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Do you have dual monitors enabled?

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Nope. but on my desktop i have the same problem also with windows 7 64 bit.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Does your vnc server have a "Poll Full screen" option? if so try enabling it.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

With ubuntu you have to turn off the enhanced desk top features (wobbley windows) for for n900 to become responsive :)

I forget where the settings are ATM but you should find them in applications

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

no it have not that function on my vnc server.
which vnc program do u use?

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

I use Ultra VNC

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Still not working :(

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

Then I really don't know what else to say. The only other thing I can recommend is to turn off windows aero. Other than that I'm out of ideas, sorry, I hope you can get it working.

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
 

it doesn't work :( tnks for your help

Re: VNC Viewer problems with N900
