VNC applications

Vino-server/Vinagre-client and tightVNCserver/xtightVNCviewer applications work just fine with the LSI support of HIPL. LSIs are used because tested applications did not support IPv6. It seems that most of the VNC applications do not support IPv6.

VINO/VINAGRE

Setup LSIs as the manual instructs and remember the daemons and so on. Then do the following.

For server side (Remember Ubuntu was used when testing). Open the settings GUI from Gnome System->Preferences->Remote Desktop then allow other users to view and or control the desktop. You can also set a password for the desktop.

For the client side do the following and everything should work.

    vinagre <LSI-of-Server>
  

THIGHTVNCSERVER/XTIGHTVNCVIEWER

Setup LSIs as the manual instructs and remember the daemons and so on. Then do the following.

For the server side install package tightvncsercer. To start the server just write tightvncserver on the terminal and the server will start with default options. Refer to the official documentation or the man pages of tightvnc for more information on the configuration.

On the client side install package xtightvncviewer. Then with the following command you should have an successfull connection.

    xtightvncviewer <LSI-of-server>:1
