Title:
unble to launch Assist/Monitor when using vncviewer from tigervnc
Status in Epoptes:
Incomplete
Bug description:
vncviewer from tigervnc requires launching like xvnc4viewer, so may be
test to find out which vncviewer binary is used before launching it
would be better.
On openSUSE there is /usr/bin/vncviewer-tigervnc actual binary and
/usr/bin/vncviewer is link to /etc/alternatives/vncviewer. On suse the
attached patch would work, however it does not solve issue with other
distributions that install vncviewer binary which is from tigervnc.
For example on CentOS /usr/bin/vncviewer is actual binary provided by
tigervnc. Only way I could discover if the binary comes from tigervnc
is like this::
if grep TigerVNC /usr/bin/vncviewer; then
echo "this is vncviewer-tigervnc, using vnc4viewer parameters"
elif grep TightVNC /usr/bin/vncviewer; then
echo "this is TightVNC vncviewer, using old school parameters to launch"
else
echo "unknown vncviewer, using .... parameters to launch"
fi
Don't know python equal of this.
