New question #670231 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/670231

Hi,

I only started working on sikuli a week ago, hence I am terribly new to this. I am trying to start Sikuli using the Java API on a remote (AWS EC2 Linux) instance. I have xfce GUI and a VNC server up and running and while logged into the instance via SSH, the following command works,

$ xvncviewer localhost::5901

Hence I assume for the Sikuli code that I have on AWS, using the VNCScreen with parameters for IP and Port as follows,

VNCScreen s= VNCScreen.start("127.0.0.1", 5901, "xxx", 10, 100);

should function as expected, unless I am missing some key step here. However, the VNCScreen.start() method returns a null, and I am not able to understand what I am doing incorrectly. 

Should I connect directly to the vncserver from my local machine using portforwarding and run the script locally? I want to launch Firefox, and I am not sure how App.open() on a local script would open Firefox on the remote machine, hence from what I understand, the code should also execute remotely.  Currently, the code opens firefox on the remote machine, but is unable to identify any marker on the screen, and hence s.wait(), s.find() etc. are not functional.

I would really appreciate some insight on this if possible, thank you.
