GUI tool to show logged in users, copy/paste not working

Hi VNC list!

TeamViewer includes a little desktop app that shows all users currently
logged onto a session. Is there no such thing for vncserver when running
under X11? Seeing as we're running KDE currently on our Ubuntu 12.04
running vnc4server a plasmoid that shows logged in VNC users + their IPs
would be ideal. If no such app exists, what is the best way to check for
logged in VNC users on a vnc4server via the terminal?

We are accessing our vnc server using RealVNC viewer, mainly under 64-bit
Windows 7 but copy/paste doesn't seem to work - why not? I thought VNC
supported copy/paste? Are there any settings I should check on the server
or clients to enable this?

Thanks for your help!

Dan

RealVNC and screenreaders

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if RealVNC can be used with a screenreader like JAWS, WindowEyes, or NVDA?

I need to be able to access a variety of windows and linux based hosts remotely, and in the past I had heard that
VNC was not a workable solution with any of these screenreaders.

Has anything changed to make any of these work together?

Re: VNC viewer fullscreen does not cover Windows taskbar

Thanks for the responses.  Unfortunately the behavior has changed back.
 I've tried a number of things, but I have no idea what happened or how to
get reproduce this.

VNC viewer fullscreen does not cover Windows taskbar

I've seen some varying comments on the list with regards to my issue, but
none of them seem to directly apply.  I had been using version 4.6.1 of the
enterprise viewer on a Windows machine.  When I would start up a fullscreen
viewer, it would cover everything including the Windows taskbar.  This is
the behavior that I prefer.

Today I switched to a different Windows machine and when I run the
fullscreen viewer (same version), the Windows taskbar refuses to go away.
 I tried upgrading Real VNC to version 5.0.5, but that did not change the
behavior.

First off, do other people experience the "fullscreen covers everything
right away" behavior?  And if so, did you have to do anything to get it
that way?  Secondly, I've seen some mention of clicking on the taskbar and
then back in the viewer to get rid of the taskbar.  I've tried this, but
the taskbar remains.  Is anyone aware of any other workarounds to get rid
of the taskbar?

Thanks,
Todd

file copy size is small


So I just bought RealVNC personal edition, and connection is fine.  My problem is that when I copy a file from
the host server, and then paste the file in a client directory, the file size is a fraction of the original
size.  if I copy 3 minute mp3, I get 4 seconds of playback.  if I copy an 800 kb image, it only renders pixels for
the top 30 rows.  Why is only a fraction of the data copied to the clipboard?  The manual doesn't address this.
Thanks!

VNC RFB Protocol Question

Hello!

Is version 4.1.3 of the free edition of RealVNC incompatible with 
the Enterprise edition (4.6.1, I believe)?  We have a customer 
running the Enterprise edition on a machine which we would like to 
be able to reach, but we keep getting the "10060" error message.  I 
have never tried to connect to the Enterprise edition before, so I 
didn't expect this.  Has the protocol changed, or is the connection 
just being refused?

					Thx, Phil Long

vnc viewers on Android

I have a Kindle Fire with CyanogenMod (Android version 4.2.1) and a 
Saumsung/Google Nexus 4 also running Android 4.2.1.  It looks like I can 
get a terminal and bash running easily enough.  I think I get ssh running 
in bash, but not sure yet about port forwarding.

I see that the Google Play store has an android-vnc-viewer (free) and a 
RealVNC viewer ($9.99).  The former is produced by "androidVNC team + 
antlersoft" and the latter by RealVNC Limited.

I would be very happy to send $10 to the RealVNC folks after all they've 
done for me.  I mean 15 years of using the free version, and relying on 
their help on this list, I've really ripped them off!  It's the least I 
could do in return.

Has anyone been using either/both of these Android-based VNC viewers?  I 
especially want to be able to run it in an ssh tunnel -- have any of you 
done that on Android?

Mike

x2go (versus NX, Neatx and VNCs)

Is anyone using x2go?  I was just reading about it:

I'd be interested to hear about your experiences, if any.

Thanks.

VNC viewer for Chrome OS?

On Linux or Windows, I'll use either the Free or Enterprise versions of 
the Real VNC viewer through an SSH tunnel and both work great.  I'm 
thinking about a Chromebook as another potential option for connecting to 
my Xvnc sessions.  I see that Chrome OS has SSH available, and it can do 
port forwarding.  I also see a bunch of VNC viewer options, but they are 
of a few different kinds and I don't know if they will work for me like 
Real VNC.

Do any of you have experience with a VNC viewer on Chrome OS, especially 
for connecting to an Xvnc session?

Is there any plan to develop a Real VNC (Enterprise or Free) for Chrome 
OS?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Key-repeating on MacOS

Hello!
I have a problem with key-repeating. VNC server is on Kubuntu, VNC Client
works on my MacOS Lion (10.7.5). Everything works fine except
key-repeating. It is really annoying during work with a text (and moving
cursor with arrows).

Is this problem is known? Are there any solution for this?

Sincerely,
Michał

VNC is freaking me out!


Hello everyone,
A few months ago I started using VNC in order to access my office computer from my Iphone 4. Since I have
started using it, I have noticed that at times my command prompt opens up all of a sudden and it starts
executing some commands that I have not entered. Also, today I noticed another peculiar occurrence that
drove me to seek for help: Last night I accessed my computer though VNC, after using it, I closed the ios app
and went to sleep, and today morning when I started using my office computer, I accidentally pressed
ctrl+v instead of ctrl+c while trying to copy some text and what I noticed was that a message I had sent on my
phone a few days ago appeared on screen!
I was taken aback as to how a message sent on my phone found its way onto my computer's copy paste buffer.
Immediately I cleared the buffer and tested to see if VNC is the problem. I accessed my computer through the
VNC app on my phone and disconnected. When I checked the buffer again by typing "clipbrd" in the command
prompt, it contained a message that I had sent on my phone earlier that day!
What the heck is going on?? Is it bug in VNC?? Has my system been comprimised? I don't understand... Can
anyone tell me how to stop this!!
Note, I have paid for the app in my phone and runs the latest ios, and on my system the VNC server is free, hence
it only supports unencrypted communication. My ESET smart security does not register any form of malware
and is updated with the latest signature.
Please, can anyone tell me what to do?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Weary Traveller
