Vncviewer WORKS on linux using Wine as root!

Post by altsound »

Hi everybody,
a port of the ultravnc viewer to linux is probably not needed. Vncviewer.exe works perfectly under wine for me, even with the encryption DSM.

I was previously pushing for a linux port of the viewer, because I experienced hangups after a few (random) minutes of activity for vncviewer+DSM under linux wine, which forced me to continuously restart the viewer. I just found that these hangups do not happen anymore when wine is executed as root, e.g. run as:
sudo wine vncviewer.exe
For increased comfort, set sudoers (visudo) to allow that without password :-)

[Moderators: sorry I probably posted it on the wrong forum (even though it can be considered a bug report withdrawal), I don't know how to move or delete this post. You can move it where you think it's more appropriate.]

Linux running Wine / vncviewer... DSM confirmed!

Post by hockeyrink »

Just installed Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.06), and after figuring out that my X11 config wasn't echoing a DISPLAY variable (setenv DISPLAY=:0, then export DISPLAY), I still can't get the vncviewer to talk with the RC4 plugin.

I keep getting a" DSMPlugin cannot be configured" error, even though I'm using the _noreg version.

Would love to know how you managed to pull it off successfully...

--------------

Solution found. Redownloaded the DSM plugin directly into linux, unpacked it and dropped it on top of the old one. Now she works for some reason. Bizarre...

Make sure you are uising the most recent BETA version. I had to make one small change to the plugin so ti could find its key under wine. The latest betas have the change.

Trying to do this myself... I run:
ares@Steven:~$ cd Desktop/staci_office
ares@Steven:~/Desktop/steven_vnc$ sudo wine vncviewer.exe -config steven_office.txt
Password:
Error 57 during CryptGetKeyParam!

I get a DSMPlugin error, and the error in the terminal window. I'm kind of new at this. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

The repeater I'm using says:
Version 107
socket() initialized
bind() succeded to port 5901
listen() succeded
socket() initialized
bind() succeded to port 5500
listen() succeded
accept() connection
Viewer added to list 1006
Server added to list 1006
local input is EOF
Server Removed from list 1006
Viewer removed from list 1006

EDIT: It seems to fail when using the DSMPlugin. Is there anything I can do?

msrc4.dsm may not work in Linux wine. Try the open source encryption plugins..;)

Yeah, the last round of changes to the plugins to add IV and Salt made the MSRC4 plugin incompatible with wine. I must be using something that isn't supported (yet) under wine. The OpenSSL versions run just fine. The MSRC4 plugin gives LOTS of errors. Switch to the ARC4 plugin for similar performance/security.

vncviewer works for me but only for about 10 minutes. (varies each time) Then I get a rapid succession of 'null clip region' errors in the console and the whole thing dies. Using wine 0.9.31 on Mandriva 2007. I have dual monitor setup on Nvidia FWIW.
