How can I find out more about why it is failing? As I said, there is no user being logged in at the other machine either, all I do is ssh into it, and then fire up that command. I want to grab the real pixels that show there, as if I would walk over physically to the machine itself. That is the task I am trying to achieve. And it never worked on this failing machine. I never figured out why so far.
When no user is logged in, then "guess -auth" can't succeed: You're telling x11vnc to figure out the current logged in user and connect to his/her display. No user logged in -> no auth info -> failure. Try to log in yourself and see if that helps. Next stop: X options. Run ps -ef | grep /X That should print something like UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 10018 10012 7 Mär03 tty7 10:22:33 /usr/bin/X :0 ... The ":0" specifies the display which X is running on. This value must be the same as the one in your call to x11vnc. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a. Philmann Dark "It's not the universe that's limited, it's our imagination.
