hi
I'm confused
Now as I understand IdleInputTimeout=0 (>60)Viewer disconnect after (300 seconds = 5 min) of inactivity
what is now option? (<60) -> Update screen every 5 second

[Rudi De Vos]

IdleInputTimeout=b
b > 60 -> disconnect after b seconds
b<60 after b seconds updates happen every 5 seconds ( slow mode)

samples

b=50
If input is idle for 50 seconds, screen goes in slow mode (one update every 5 seconds)
b=10
If input is idle for 10 seconds, screen goes in slow mode (one update every 5 seconds)
b=250
If input is idle for 250 seconds, viewer disconnect

thx Rudi
test new Repeater "repeater_1205"
like works not bad with the old and new versions winvnc.exe
I will inform you if a problem is detected

hi
I do not know the problem or not
may have certain limits when opening folders with many files

but when I connect to the server and then run the file transfer'm trying to go to the folder in which for example 150,000 files, the program can not display these files and crashes

[Rudi De Vos]

vnc use zip to transfer folders.

A folder is zipped, tranferred as single file, and unzipped.
150.000 files could hit the zip or temp file boundaries.

I installed this version on my Windows 8.1 x64 machine and for the life of me cannot figure out how to gain access to my second monitor. I've tried making use of the System HookDll and not making use of it. Every time I click the "Select Full Desktop / Switch monitor (driver only)" it attempts to switch to my second monitor but keeps reverting back to my primary. What am I missing?

Hi there

I use UltraVNC to connect to qemu-kvm consoles (Linux Visualization). So the server implementation is NOT uVNC!
I just upgraded the viewer from 1.0.9.5 to 1.2.0.5

This leads to the following issue with an additional follow up "issue":
With 1.0.9.5, "auto select" settings worked fine (switched to hextile). With 1.2.0.5, it goes to ZRLE, which apparently is not supported by the CentOS 6 supplied qemu-kvm.

No prob I thought, just use the options.vnc file. I start ultravnc "portable", since I only use the viewer for the said purpose.
But, storing the working settings in the options.vnc file in the same directory where the executable is located does not work.
It is apparently not read when started. But it is created in the startup directory by vncviewer itself when it does not exist. Confusing, isn't it?

I can't tell if this behavior exists since some time due to the large gap between the versions I used.

BTW: I tested the settings file by adding the connection settings and use the /config switch. This worked just fine.

What do you think?

Is this the intended behavior? Do I do something wrong?

Thank you

Beat

There is also new distributer.exe in downloads.
Zip file contains exe file only. Source code zip file does not contain its source.

Where to find its source code ?

I can't get the Active Directory authentication to work.

authentication rejected.


used to work in 1.1.x

After having installed yesterdays Updates from Microsoft, I can't login to UltraVNC using "New MS Logon".
I always get "Authentication rejected" error.

I don't know exactly which update is causing this issue, but I'm pretty sure that KB3002657 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3002657) is a good candidate to look at, since this update changed some things in the domain logon procedure.

I hope you can find a solution for this in one of your next Updates for UltraVNC.

For now I can only use authentication with "VNC Password" and "View-Only Password" as a workaround.

[egal8888]

I had a deeper look into my above described issue.
It is KB3002657 that stops UltraVNC from being able to use domain authentication.

The only solution is:
1. Uninstall KB3000988 and KB3035132 from your Domain Controller (these updates are dependencies for the buggy KB3002657)
2. Uninstall KB3002657 from your Domain Controller
3. Restart your Domain Controller
4. Reinstall the two updates from 1. and restart your Domain Controller

After this you will be able to use "New MS Logon" again.

This is not the only issue that arises after installing KB3002657.
I also found out that Windows authentication for connecting to an SQL Server using ODBC will also fail (http://tinyurl.com/m89abus)

I doubt this is a uvnc problem, but I am running 1.2.0.5 on my laptop and work computer up till now with no problem. Now at some point after being connected, the viewer will hang showing the screen of the remote computer. I cannot get back to the laptop. No mouse response, no keyboard response. It is possible that the last thing I tried to do was to access the drop down toolbar by moving the mouse to the top of the screen. At that point I have a frozen cursor with an extra little trail of cursors nearby at the top of the screen. I will try using it in a window view to see if that behavior repeats. I have to shutdown my laptop to get control and start over. I am always able to connect to the Uvnc server on my work computer, so nothing seems to be happening on that end. I suspect Windows has updated something. E.g., recently my Windows Update installed Skype for me. How thoughtful, but not a necessary part of a functioning operating system. Any ideas would be appreciated. -Chris Holly

If I don't use full screen mode, I don't seem to be getting the frozen viewer, in case anyone else has this problem. -Chris
