[Sugar-devel] ClassroomBroadcast x11vnc install problem

[David Leeming]

When first installed, the path is 

 

/home/olpc/Activities/VNCServer.activity/bin/i586/x11vnc

 

but the server stops unexpectedly. 

 

After downloading and installing the below, as per George’s advice (using –nogpgcheck because it was unsigned) 

 

http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/x11vnc-0.9.13-3.fc17.i386.rpm

 

the path is now /usr/bin/x11vnc

 

and the VNC Server Activity works fine! I tested with UltraVNC Viewer on a Windows laptop over the WLAN. 

 

Thanks all,

 

David

How odd!

The path of x11vnc is?

I found the same problem, the rpm is broken.

Try downlading this [1] and then do:

yum install x11vnc-0.9.13-3.fc17.i386.rpm

I want to use ClassroomBroadcast version 10 on an XO 1.5 with build 885 0.94.1 and firmware Q3C07. It is a good one to use in training groups of teachers.

 

The Activity downloads and installs OK. But when I follow the wiki page advice to install x11vnc in Terminal activity

 

sudo yum install x11vnc

 

With the XO out of the box, this didn’t work as it could not find the resource, so I updated :

 

sudo yum update

 

and then tried again. This time it resolved dependencies without error, but then stopped with

 

Error: Package: x11vnc-0.9.8-14.fc13.i686 (fedora) Requires: Xvfb  

** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), ‘yum check’ output follows:

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem

Mesa-libGL-7.8-5.fc14.i686 has missing requires of mesa-dri-drivers(x86-32) = (‘0’,’7.9’,’5.fc14’)

 

So I tried 

 

sudo yum install x11vnc –skip-broken 

 

That concluded with

 

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:

  libvncserver-0.8.9.7-4.fc14.i686 from fedora

  lzo-minilzo-2.03-3.fc12.i686 from fedora

  x11vnc-0.9.8-14.fc13.i686 from fedora

 

I rebooted and tried it again but nothing new apart from the Journal showing as full – this build only leaves 80MB of free space which is another issue (I have posted on the devel list).

 

Any advice appreciated, I really need to use this activity for a training next week.
