--=-3h9LO9kLclZQE1TVav1z Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Vino was recently proposed on Gnome's desktop devel list for inclusion in Gnome 2.8 and attached is a port for it. It is a desktop sharing service based on VNC similar to KDE's krfb and Windows Remote Desktop. It provides a VNC server only, no vncviewer. To use, first `vino-session' must be run to start up the service. You have to add it to your Gnome session startup services manually right now if you want it to always startup when you log in. Next allow connections and set a password (or not) using `vino-preferences'. Once you have done that you can connect using one of the VNC ports. I've built this on -current but not 4.10 yet. It even builds with Gnome 2.6 but the "Accept Connection" dialog is blank. (Click in the lower right corner where OK would be and your fine.) I'm guessing this is just an issue between GTK versions. My Gnome 2.7 box is rebuilding currently so I haven't been able to try this with Gnome 2.7 installed. Also, I haven't been able to run this on another machine and VNCing to yourself produces a really trippy effect... So I really haven't been able to test this port out properly yet. Can someone please make sure I have the USE_GNOME options down right and that the lone patch is correct. I'm not a programmer so I had to google to try and fix the problem, and that patch did it. Thanks. Tom Gnome announcement: http://lists.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-July/msg00051.html --=-3h9LO9kLclZQE1TVav1z--
