Hey there - The write up on COTVNC sounded good but upon pulling the file and uncompressing it I get a folder for COTVNC not an image, and I don't see config or make files in there. It is also strange that the last update says 3-29-11, but the uncompressed files show a date of Jan 18, 2006. Seems like I am missing something here - hope someone can help get me going in the right direction. Cheers - Dan |

Where can I find instructions written out anywhere for how to connect to a Windows machine? With ALL the steps? I am trying to log into a Win XP machine: Host: 192.168.1.67 (ping works to this IP) Display: 0 Password: What do I type here? My WIn XP password? If so, where do I supply the Windows user login name? Profile: Default All checkboxes unchecked. I get error message: Could not connect to server. 192.168.1.67:5900 Operation timed out: connect() Must I do something to the XP machine before it will connect? Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Doug P.S. I see similar questions to mine have gone unanswered: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/forums/forum/217620/topic/1351765 I also did a Google web search to no avail. |

Hi, I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I get the Unknown Rectangle Encoding error on version 2.0b4. I'm connecting to a Red Hat linux server from my Mac. I found this bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1522071&group_id=64347&atid=507159 I wanted to check if there is a fix planned for this. I love the work you guys are doing on chicken of the vnc. Jerin |

I had a Macbook Pro on 10.5.8 4GC (not sure of the processor speed) working fine connected to an XP comp running TightVNC Server. Then I disconnected that Macbook b/c it was my boss’s and he had to go. I connected with my Macbook Pro 10.6.1 2.16GHz C2D 3GB and Chicken of the VNC hangs drastically. Generally I can keep up with the XP’s video but sometimes it stalls and any mouse or keyboard stuff brings Chicken to a grinding halt to the point where I have to just force quit it. Does anyone know whats going on? Matt Otto (609) 707-2978 Off List: mot...@gm... http://www.mattottosound.com |

Hello All CotC is an excellent, fast client so far. However, when I enter fullscreen I lose keyboard access to the VNC session and also all my OSX app on other monitors. I can enter and exit fullscreen via the key sequence just fine. The second issue I have (and this one is critical) is that CotC does not seem to send ctrl+click correctly. Is it being re-mapped to something else? Thanks and any suggestions welcome - I'll open a bug if necessary. JB ----------------------------------------------------------- John Bleichert sy...@ea...

Hi, I've been having this problem for a while -- I am working from my Mac iBook G4 controlling a Linux machine at school using Chicken of the VNC in full screen mode. For some reason, my net connection hiccups, and I lose internet connectivity of some sort, causing me to basically lose the connection to the VNC server. Not a big deal, I'll just reconnect. But when I'm in full screen mode, I can't get out of it. I set my full screen mode toggle to APPLE+~, which works fine when I have the connection. If I lose my connection while in full screen mode, it stops working, as does the default CTRL+OPTION+APPLE+~. ALT+TAB doesn't do anything (it doesn't ALT+TAB on my Mac) and neither does F8, F9, F10, F11. Basically, I get stuck with a desktop that's frozen and I'm forced to restart my machine. This is really annoying, since I like full screen mode to work -- I can ALT+TAB on the Linux machine and get around easily. Any ideas on why this may be happening? Thanks, Salman |

Good question. I don't know. Quite possibly no place at all. I'd love it if people would chime in if they've got reasons they'd like to see Chicken stay in active development rather than in maintenance mode.

Leopard has a VNC server and client built in. At least that's what they say - I have not been able to get the client to work with OSXvnc, yet. Have not yet tried to use chicken to hit a server.

If you guys can grab the current CVS of chicken, this is no longer an issue. Chicken now allows you to specify the port and the display independently of each other. See Bug #1072700.

My VNC server is running on port 80. Chicken of the VNC does not allow me to select port 80. When I enter port 80, it is added to the default 5900 resulting in it's attempt to connect on port 5980. How do I connect to port 80? Thanks, Gretel |

Trevor, take a look at the archives of the cotvnc-dev mailing list. We've had a lot of discussion about how this window should look, with the upshot that none of us are really happy with the current behavior for a variety of reasons. Here's an example thread (there are others, too lazy to find 'em): http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php? thread_id=5373830&forum_id=13130 Do me a favor - if you'd like to keep talking about this (which is cool with me!), let's move it over to the cotvnc-dev list, where it makes more sense.

Yeah, this is true for the source list of the iTunes window, but not for other lists. In the song list, for instance, double-clicking a song plays the song.

I'm seeing that behavior already in 2.0b2. Thanks for the quick reply! Trevor |

Hey Trevor! The way that the list works is actually pretty widely used on the Mac. The term for it is a "source list". You can see it in use in all of the iApps, such as iTunes. These all have a list on the left which, when single clicked, changes the contents of the right side of the window, and when double-clicked, allows editing of the name. (Of course, source lists use gradient highlighting, which we're not doing. But that's a quibble.) I agree, though, that's it's not super-intuitive that the name can be edited. What makes it even worse is that some names _can't_ be edited - Rendezvous servers can't change names. In the next build of Chicken, clicking the "+" creates a new server in such a way that the name is in "edit mode" right after creation.

Hey fellow chickens! First, let me say that with the release of 2.0b2, COTVNC is now the best VNC client I've ever seen on the Mac. I use it to connect to two Windows XP laptops running RealVNC servers, and it works great. No real bugs that I can see. There is, however, one minor user interface quibble. In the login window, there is a list of servers that have been "bookmarked". On the Mac, when you see a list like this, you would expect it to behave a certain way. For example, single-clicking a list item would allow you to change its name, while double-clicking launches the item. You'd expect the server list to act this way, as well: single-clicking a server name would allow you to change the name; double-clicking would connect to the server. The actual behavior, however, is different: Double-clicking edits the name, while single-clicking does nothing. How about changing the login window to be a bit more consistent with other Mac apps? This would also save a bit of time, because you wouldn't have to select a server then click the Connect button; you could just double-click it. I'd submit a patch myself, but I'm a complete Cocoa newbie. Trevor P.S. I didn't know it was even possible to change a server's name until I double-clicked it. Perhaps, as a hint to clueless users like me, there could be an additional text field in the login window, "Name", that gives an explicit indication that the server name is editable. |

Dear Open Source developer I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate. You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it. With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development. With many thanks for your participation, Benno Luthiger PS: The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/. We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________ |

This is fixed in a development version and another user compiled 1.3.6 with just that fix added, and it works great for me.
