New subject: [Bug 901752] tigervnc "view-only" does not work (in opensuse 12.1 it did)

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=901752 --- Comment #3 from Michal Srb --- Ok, now I see what's happening. This is side effect of a weirdness that was in VNC packages until opensuse 13.1 (including): The tools for setting up the VNC server (vncserver, vncpasswd) were distributed with the VNC client package (tightvnc) and the VNC server package (xorg-x11-Xvnc) contained just the server alone. There are two projects developing both VNC client and server: tightvnc and tigervnc. For 13.1 we switched from tightvnc server to tigervnc server (for several good reasons), but the client remained tightvnc and so did all the supporting tools. This is already fixed in the next version of opensuse and in sles12, the packages were reorganized and all server related things are in the tigervnc server package, and both tightvnc and tigervnc clients are available alone in their own packages. Tightvnc supported separate password for read-only mode, but tigervnc apparently doesn't. That's why the tightvnc setup tools (vncserver, vncpasswd) ask you for it, but the tigervnc server (Xvnc) ignores it. Best solution would be to add the read-only support to the tigervnc server. Because otherwise it's superior to the tightvnc one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=901752 --- Comment #5 from Michal Srb --- (In reply to Thomas Schäfer from comment #4)

...

I use the "view only" mode in a lecture. I don't want 30 participants to control my session. The view only mode was very useful for this purpose.

I could try "-viewonly" on vncviewer end, but this is the part of the participants, some of them may forget this option and make bad jokes.

It is indeed important feature. I didn't know that we lost it by switching to tigervnc until this bug. It's on my list to look into adding it. If you want to help, patches are welcome. ;-)

...

A second thing, I know I should open a new bug-report, but what is about IPv6-Support? vncserver (now tried also opensuse 13.2) still listens only to IPv4.

It's true, neither old tightvnc neither new tigervnc listen on IPv6. It's not a bug, it's a (lack of) feature. Quick search shows that there are some patches for it floating around internet. Once any of them makes it into upstream, then it will get into opensuse. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
