UltraVNC

Actually, LMI Central accounts can still use LMI Free clients. It's only those who were using LMI Free without paying who can no longer use LMI Free.

Thanks, Angus, you're right; I noticed it this weekend and was coming back to mention it. They also seem to be selectively extending the deadline ...

With ZERO notice and only 7 days' grace, LogMeIn has discontinued its Free offering. I personally know of a dozen people using it for personal and business use; both had been allowed. The first announcement was today; as of this writing the service terminates on 1/28/14. They didn't even e-mail ...

I don't know why only the service version works, but one thing that stands out is that you're attaching to the repeater on its PUBLIC address. For local same-machine testing you should probably be using localhost or the local LAN IP address, so it doesn't even have to try reaching the router. (I've ...

You might just want to use the winvnc.exe -connect option! Check out https://forum.ultravnc.net/viewtopic.ph ... 60&p=67671

No problem; it's kind of funny.

I did a quick search and someone did a whole "mod" of ChunkVNC that might fit your bill. I've never tried it though.

I think someone did post a workaround here but I don't recall the specific thread. You might want to PM supercoe.

Simple answer: neither UltraVNC nor UltraVNC SC runs on Linux. They are Windows-only programs.

With some effort you might get it to work with a Linux version of VNC.

The viewing person could shut down the UltraVNC server manually, instead of just disconnecting.

Or one could use UltraVNC's "When Last Client Connects, Logoff Workstation" setting, and make sure not to run ChunkVNC in service mode...

Or you could try modifying ChunkVNC's AutoIT script to do it for ...

No, helpdesk.txt only refers to UltraVNC SC (single click), not the regular UltraVNC product.

If things are slow you can try turning on the "mirror driver", first and foremost, and then try reducing your screen resolutions. There are other tweaks; you might want to read our FAQ section.

Right click the system tray, select List All Clients, write down the IP address (e.g., x.x.x.x), click Start, type CMD, and type

nslookup x.x.x.x

Note that, if you're connecting over the Internet, this provides the DNS name associated with the public IP address of the connecting machine, NOT ...

Is typing "GPL" one time really that annoying?

I know we don't have the most sophisticated methods, but they've help reduced forum spam here a LOT...

Honestly, EVERYBODY gets a bit freaked out the first time they do that. I still nervously hover over alt-F4 because I'm afraid I'll run out of memory and crash. So welcome to the VNC tinkerer club.

That's the same thing Neustradamus wrote above...

Yup, worked perfectly. What exactly did you expect to happen, smgerber? What did you expect to see on the screen?

Sorry I can't answer your directly, but you may find it valuable to check out http://forum.ultravnc.info/viewtopic.php?t=27489

Ah looks as if you've found the right thread. As Rudi suggested, go ahead and try using 7-Zip to simply delete the DLL file from the EXE file (the one the SC creator makes) and see if it works.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

The kind of open source remote control solution I keep pining for just doesn't exist yet.

Good luck.

(By the way my handle here is simply "B". I just happen to be a moderator at present.)

moving from Related Products to ChunkVNC subforum...

Also, take a look at the SC subforum here. I'm moving this thread there.

ChunkVNC requires the repeater. But if you really don't need one (if your listening viewer will always be at a static location rather than roaming) you might check out SCPrompt. It's a similar offshoot/wrapper of UltraVNC but does not require a repeater in the mix.

1. The installation guide at http ...

I think it's still a file inside the executable that the SC generator returns to you, as I said above. Try 7-Zip or another viewer to extract it. This would break the code-signing though. I'm pretty sure someone else proposed a better workaround but I don't have time to find it now. (You can search ...

I should know the answer (since others have addressed it) but sorry, I don't. I would try editing the ultravnc.ini file that gets embedded in the SC executable (that's where the capture alpha blending setting is),or just use SCPrompt or ChunkVNC instead.

The Mozillas seem to have unique issues (they often bond to the video card driver for some reason) but in general it helps to set "capture alpha blending" on the server side. Have you tried that?

It can't be done (as far as I know).

Try using two different remote control programs. VNC plays well with all the others.

Can he just recompile with the existing hash?

I believe it was removed intentionally because it is not open source. But you are free to roll it in yourself in your copies.

I am at the same time inclined to be sympathetic to them (since you searched out an unlinked legacy page on their web site marked 2003-2006 and then insisted that they support it) and sympathetic to you (since their terse replies were indeed assholey). So I don't know what to say. :(



(c) 2003 ...

You can't in the current version, due to the Vista/Win7 security model changes. But if you're set to autoreconnect you should get reattached to the non-logged in service after a few seconds. There may be plans to fix/work around this in UVNC 2.x at some point -- I was answering this question in one ...

I still don't quite grok why installation needs to be so painful for Windows programs. Copy files, create shortcuts, modify permissions as necessary, and merge registry entries. What else gets in the way (other than UAC crapola)?

That said, your workaround looks great, mkruger.

Well, thanks to that thread it seems you're out of luck -- Rudi is still the main/only developer of UltraVNC, and he wrote in that old thread that he CAN'T add the feature, apparently due to a conflict of interest because he wrote the feature for MaxiVista. :(

The old virtual driver was used for a ...

First be sure you're using the newest version of the SC compiler -- there are several on that page and you have to scroll down.

You might also need to enable (or disable) the mirror driver, and/or turn on "capture alpha blending" on the servers.

You could also try SC alternatives such as ChunkVNC ...
