[sle-beta] MobaXterm from Win-10 to SLES15

[Waite, Dick (External)]

Grand Saturday,

vncserver -alwaysshared -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16

So it was not an issue with MobaXterm or tightVNC or TigerVNC but it was in the Linux machine. Get that right and all the grand VNC clients worked as they should.

>From some docu in openSUSE on Leap15 the words say, when you want to set a -geo or -dep then just add a vncserver command. So with nout to lose I did and bingo I have the display back on my Win-10 and Win-7 clients.

I dont know why the basic out of the tin does not work, but that is for another day. Just for the record I read many forums that say you can't have sddm in the display manager, well it works for me. I did try gdm and that was grand too.

I'm sure they are good people out there that know you have to add something to 5901, but I'd like to know why it does not work as it says on the tin.

Who will win the "Grand Natonal" today ;o)

Grand Day Vincent,
I have been a user, from Window, for many years of MobaXterm as a "Swiss Army Knife" application to access Unix and Linux. It combines in one application all the access I have needed and from my point of view does it well. There is a public version and a private version, which I have.

While working with SLES-15 I have found VNC has become an issue. I have tried a number of ways to get a Linux display on my Win-10 but have failed. I can use SSH -X user at host Pgm and I get the "Pgm" runnng on my Win-10 display, but I could also in the past, use VNC to have the display on Win-10

Could be I have to move from MobaXterm to another application, a few years back I gave up Kermit and PuTTY so I'm not glued to MobaXterm, but I do know it well and it's WSL feature is good.

Mark gave me the name of another Windows app and it's grand but I still get a blank screen when I access SLES 15, the same issues I have with MobaXterm.

Have a grand day,

__R

Hi,

Could you please elaborate? I didn’t get what’s your precise issue with MobaXterm and you said:
Ah this looks better. I get the same issues with tightVNC, tigerVNC as I do with MobaXterm.

Grand New Day,

Ah this looks better. I get the same issues with tightVNC, tigerVNC as I do with MobaXterm. So when I sort out what the SLES15 "tigerVNC" server wants I hope all threes viewer will be running too. The tigerVNC viewer is very light and would be grand on a USB sitck.

So just to confirm Mark. You can use the tightVNC viewer from Win-10 to a SLES 15 SP-0 or SP-1 RC1 and you get a grand display in return.

If I use ssh -X user at host pgm I do get the dipsly I want, so some bits are working...

Is the first line of your $HOME/.vnc/default.tigervnc file something like:
ServerName=host-name:5901  where host-name is the host your running on and there is just one :

Many Thanks for the info Mark. I'll install and try it today. It might also give clues as to why MobaXterm has stopped working.

Grand Day,

Well it seems nobody on the list uses MobaXterm bar me ;o)

So what do people use from Win-10 to access SLES15 via VNC  ?

I normally use TightVNC.
