I run on my OSX realvnc and that works super also with the latest firmware.
I run on my Iphone and Ipad RealVNC and that works also fine.
The version that runs on my Toon is x11vnc_0.9.13-r0.
Hmmm ok. I run version x11vnc_0.9.13-r3_qb2 here. That does not work with RealVNC. I’ll see if I can find your version instead.

Did you do anything special? I installed x11vnc_0.9.13-r0 now and still can’t connect using RealVNC. I get the error: The authentication mechanism requested cannot by provided by the computer.

Hello,

The only thing that I removed was the encryption:

Code: Select all


vi /usr/bin/x11vnc

if you take out this line:
CODE: SELECT ALL
       -ssl SAVE -vencrypt nodh:plain:support -usepw  \

Than you will have no encryption.

Ah check. That explains why it works on Real VNC. With the encryption enabled it doesn’t work. With the encryption disabled RealVNC works indeed.

I just tried to install the x11vnc from the downloads section on a newly rooted Toon .
I get:

Code: Select all

# opkg install x11vnc_0.9.13-r0_qb2.ipk
Installing x11vnc (0.9.13-r0) to root...
Collected errors:
 * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for x11vnc:
 *      libssl (>= 0.9.8m) *
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package x11vnc.
Guess my firmware or libssl version is to new...
Yep, found this elsewere on the forum:
It works with the older libssl (0.9.8 from the top of my head). Will upload that .ipk to the forum ftp server, so you can grab it from there. Haven't had the time to complete recompilation yet (x11vnc is not the problem, but libssl is ...).

EDIT: you can pick it up here:
http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... .1_qb2.ipk
But that link is dead...

So reading this here now:
I just uploaded a new x11vnc to the forum download area.
It's linked against openssl 1.0.2h, so it can be used with newer firmwares. The release number has also been bumped (from r0 to r3), so quby's version (r2) won't interfere anymore.
You can find it here:

http://files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/T ... r3_qb2.ipk
But this Link is also seams to be dead...

Could you please (re-)add one ore both files to the download section?

Thanks!

Thanks, that one works fine!

To make it start at bootime I first tried the following methods to no avail:
- x11v:5:respawn:/usr/bin/x11vnc in /etc/innittab (did nothing)
- rc.local as in domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=102&am ... mp;start=0 (this did nothing)
- crontab but cron was not installed...
And then I found files.domoticaforum.eu/uploads/Toon/ipk ... r8_qb2.ipk
Installed that, did a crontab -e and added @reboot /usr/bin/x11vnc

Up and running now!

(next level: find a way to get the data from my Omnik inverter into Zon op Toon)
