Feel free to add a feature request to https://fate.novell.com/ describing what the tool does and why you think adding it to openSUSE would be worthwhile. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

i presume you took a look at snapshot which clearly explains what vncconfig does,

Ah - no, I had overlooked that there was an attachment. Sorry.

but anyway, it allows sending clipboard content between client and server and vice versa ..

It looks like our vnc client and server already support that without the need of an additional tool. Transferring the primary selection back and forth works out of the box and clipboard transfer is available from vncviewer's menu which you get by pressing F8. (In reply to comment #5)

I guess Reinhard meant http://features.opensuse.org/

Whoops, I never noticed we have two of them. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

it really seems like switching to another vnc software provider should be a reasonable step for opensuse.

That's what the FATE entry is for. We might switch in the future, but for 11.3 I'd rather look into fixing clipboard than switching to something else at this late point in the development cycle. BTW, could you please try cross connections between the OSes where clipboard works and openSUSE, so that we can tell whether it is the client or the server that breaks it on our side? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
