vncserver on the BBB

[Hussam Al-Hertani]

Has anyone had any success setting up a vncserver on the BBB using Angstrom ? When trying to install x11vnc, opkg failed to find the package.

Well, it installed after today's updates. Looks like I still have some configuring to do but at thsi point,  just installing is promising,

Same problem here. It can't find the package because it's not there (at least not where it's looking for it). Taking a look at the feed browser (http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=x11vnc) makes me think this package doesn't exist for the neon branch of armv7a. The angstrom-x11vnc-xinit package isn't there either. Here's the repository it's set to look at for packages: http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/base/

I'll look around a bit and see if I can figure out another way. Chances are I'll end up building tightVNC.

I too was finally able to install x11vnc from the opkg repo. I used the following command to start the vnc server on my beagleboneblack:  "x11vnc -usepw -display :0" . I'm using xtightvncviewer (vnc client) on my PC(running Debian Wheezy). Every time I try to connect, I authenticate the VNC server and then get the a frozen gnome-angstrom login screen. I'm unable to proceed any further.

I got the same result with another vnc viewer as well

If anyone got this working I'd appreciate any advice that you might have regarding this matter

I build my own packages, using oe build scripts.

Following these instructions it is possible to connect to the board:

But, I could not use remote keyboard and mouse. Have you face similar problem?

Best regards,

Flavio
