VNC pblm

Post by faisalkm »

Hello

I did the magic patch for vnc. The problem is now I don't have VNC in my startup. I guess it's missing from /etc/init.d. What do I need to do? or am I toooooooooooo stupid?

Youre not meant to see it at start up, it deletes the old scripts. All you do is start Xfree, then connect to http://xbox_ip:5800, or in vncviewer xbox_ip:0. Read the instructions :\

Hi

My vnc is started by default. But I can't connect to it...I need to restart vncctl. Then I am able to connect to it. But it works just like the old one. No effect on the tv. May be I still have the old script?

have you made a note of the fact that the IP address and display number have changed.
For the java viewer the port is now 5800. For the standard client/server version the port is 5900 or display 0 (which is the default).
If you connect in your web browser type http://xbox_ip:5800 for the address. If you connect with a vnc viewer program just type xbox_ip for the address.
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?

I know you already said that but most people tend to ignore parts they think they already know the answer to and read other parts that's why I said "have you made a note of" like "check back at what Shallax had written and make sure you read it right."
