[Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

As N900 has VNC viewer and we are able to remote control a PC with it , why N9 hasn't one ? But what about porting TeamViewer on N9 ? I know it's closed source and we need first the source from its developers , but anyone has tried to bring a VNC viewer on N9 ?

I always wanted to control my PC from any point of this world just like TeamViewer does .

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Is zooming possible with rdesktop ? what is the gray bar for ?

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

I've added the rzr repo then I used apt-get install rdesktop but it seems I miss a dependency . I've also tried apt-get install libss11.0.0 but it says "could not find the package" .

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

I have tried installing presencevnc (a VNC client) from rzr repository, but I get after setting the rzr's repo and trying "# apt-get install presencevnc" :

"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
presencevnc: Depends: libvncserver0 but it is not going to be installed"

And trying "apt-get install libvncserver0" gives :

"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libvncserver0: Depends: libgcrypt11 (>= 1.4.2) but 1.2.0-11.1osso5+0m6 is to be installed
Depends: libgnutls26 (>= 2.4.0-0) but it is not going to be installed"

Does anyone know a solution for this problem ?

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Same libvncserver0 error here. Would really REALLY love to have presencevnc working on the N9 as it's was indispensable on the N900.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Almost done. I have installed "presencevnc" but when trying to connect :
$ presencevnc vnc://192.168.0.101:5900
I get :
"Failed to initialized GnuTLS: The gcrypt library version is too old.."
about to quit

The problem is libgcrypt11 from Harmattan is old, v1.2.0.

I have downloaded from rzr's repository the files below installed with dpkg :
# dpkg -i libtasn1-3_1.4-1_armel.deb
# apt-get install libgcrypt11
# dpkg -i --force-all libgnutls26_2.4.2-6_armel.deb
# dpkg -i --force-all libvncserver0_0.9.8.2-2_armel.deb
# dpkg -i presencevnc_0.0.0-0~rzr1_armel.deb

So it seems the solution is simple, to avoid the warning/erros messages :
" libgnutls26 depends on libgcrypt11 (>= 1.4.2); however:
Version of libgcrypt11 on system is 1.2.0-11.1osso5+0m6.
libgnutls26 depends on libgpg-error0 (>= 1.10); however:
Version of libgpg-error0 on system is 1.6-1.1+0m6."
we need libgcrypt11 (>= 1.4.2) and, maybe, libgpg-error0 (>= 1.10).

I have downloaded debian armel libgcrypt11 v1.4.5 but I can't install, conflicting with the MeeGo Harmattan version :
# dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.4.5-2_armel.deb
Aegis rejecting libgcrypt11_1.4.5-2_armel.deb: package 'libgcrypt11' already installed from 'com.nokia.maemo' -- not replacing it from unknown origin
aegis aborting dpkg -- all listed package files rejected
Compilation failed in require.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

One option to have VNC viewer is to install Easy Debian on Nokia N9/N950. See the HarmChom topic and the how-to-install using Inception (instead of open kernel).

As root in debian, install ssvncviewer (my choice over 10 vnc viewers that I tested, it allows typing the password using MeeGo Terminal, has many options including full-screen, etc) :
[root@chroot: /]apt-get install ssvncviewer

To use without a real keyboard (on N950 or external Bluetooth on N9), fitting the remote screen to N9 screen :
[root@chroot: /] ssvncviewer -fullscreen -scale "854x480" <ip>

With a real keyboard (on N950 or external Bluetooth on N9), there are many keyboard shortcuts : arrows, home/end, page up/down to move, etc (see "ssvncviewer --help" for more information). Here in view only mode :
[root@chroot: /] ssvncviewer -fullscreen -viewonly <ip>
or choosing the parameters and options from GUI :
root@chroot: /] ssvnc

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Edit : the procedure below breaks (red "!" icon appears) about dozen Harmattan softwares (Nokia Store, Nokia Maps, etc) and also some 3rd-party softwares. It is due to replacing libgcrypt11 !

I have had to download the Harmattan libgcrypt11 and install it @ N9 with dpkg.real -i.

As soon as the original libgcrypt11 was installed again, all icons returned to normal and the softwares are working.

===========================================

PresenceVNC running on Nokia N9 ! With Harmattan virtual keyboard, touch scrolling with 2 fingers, etc.

Only issue : PresenceVNC on Nokia N9 is not in full screen.

And I am not sure using libgcrypt11 from debian armel is safe. For the moment, my N9 works, booted ok, etc.

I have downloaded from rzr's repository the files below installed with dpkg, except debian armel libgcrypt11 v1.4.5 :
# dpkg -i libtasn1-3_1.4-1_armel.deb
# dpkg.real -i install libgcrypt11_1.4.5-2_armel.deb
# dpkg -i --force-all libgnutls26_2.4.2-6_armel.deb
# dpkg -i --force-all libvncserver0_0.9.8.2-2_armel.deb
# dpkg -i presencevnc_0.0.0-0~rzr1_armel.deb

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

looks like rzr repos presencevnc has some conflicting depencies that it doesn't need. I compiled package in sb and it seems to install & work without conflicts.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

HOLY CRAP!!! We finally have a great VNC viewer on the N9!!!

This is awesome! Thank you so much!!!


It still needs a .desktop file and an icon so we can launch it from the home screen, but forget that. IT WORKS!!! :D :D :D

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Whoops, my mistake.

Looks like this .deb file does have an icon for the home screen. It just unpacks to /usr/share/applications/hildon as if it was a Maemo package.

Move the /usr/share/applications/hildon/presencevnc.desktop file to /usr/share/applications after installation and the icon will show up just fine on the N9.

Another oddity is that that app (which only appears to work in landscape) disables the swipe UI while in the initial connection dialog screen.

Once a VNC session starts, you can swipe again. And you can always tap on File -> Quit to exit the app as well.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

@Rainisto thanks !

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

updated my attachement to have desktop file in right path.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Thanks 10^6 times ! I really need to use VNC viewer @ my N900 & N9 everyday.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
:)

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

I want to say thank to Rainisto and rcolistete.
On the other hand, please make vitual keyboard on N9 active after remote to computer. N9 don't have physical keyboard like N900 or N950.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Dear rcolistete

I don't know why my virtual keyboard don't work on PresenceVNC after I connect to remote computer.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

because the version which is currently avail is not supporting vkb. I'm currently working on for a version which would support vkb and a bit more N9 optimized UI, I'll let you know when there is a working version avail.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

The only missing app for me on N9 is any kind of VNC viewer.
rainisto, keep it going please. Thank you in advance.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Team Viewer on N9 would be a dream that came true . I always wanted to be able to control my home PC over the internet from any place on this world . :)

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

rainisto: not pure-Latin characters can't be input with the vkb, e.g. 'ś', 'ć', 'ä', 'д'

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Post #13 has v0.8 of Presence VNC attached but since it has no vkb, it's mostly useless. Could anybody point me to the v0.9 (or later, I'm not sure which version was the last free one)?

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Found it. Still only barely usable. I wonder, if the paid version was any more user friendly. But since the store is gone... meh.

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

Well that 0.9 version is the paid version. But as store is gone, then I'm not making any profit for it anymore, so I don't care :)

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

My bad, I thought there were 1-2 free versions prior to one or more paid ones.
The About box mentioning "This program is free software" kind of fooled me, too.

And also, thanks! :)

(On a side note, I finally figured how to to dismiss the VKB properly so I take back the words "only barely" from my previous post)

Re: [Request] Team viewer or any VNC client
 

If I may be so bold...
Since you mentioned you don't care, would you consider putting Presence VNC available in OpenRepos?

In case you're not interested but don't mind, I'm sure somebody else can do it too -even me- and give you the credits. However, Basil will want to see somekind of approval if the uploader is anybody else than you.

If you feel OpenRepos is totally out of the question, no hard feelings.
