[SOLVED] x0vnserver does not accept passwords

Doesn't work on 15.0

It works just fine on mint but not in slackware.

# vncpasswd

ends up in ~/.vnc/passwd encrypted

# x0vnserver

from the other system
# vncviewer ip

# x0vncserver -PasswordFile=/root/.vnc/passwd

is the solution

yes,

Quote:

−PasswordFile passwd-file
Password file for VNC authentication. There is no default, you should specify the password file explicitly. Password file should be created with the vncpasswd(1) utility. The file is accessed each time a connection comes in, so it can be changed on the fly.

−Password password
Obfuscated binary encoding of the password which clients must supply to access the server. Using this parameter is insecure, use PasswordFile parameter instead.

you are satisfied with x0vncserver ? instead of xrdp or vncsession.

i really like tigervnc for both server and windows, on both linux and windows. i havent tried xrdp but i did install it. i just felt that tigervnc suited me for everything. its really simple and lightweight, i love it.
