#237 Exited abnormally: Broken pipe

[Anonymous]

I'm running CotVNC 2.0b4 (latest from front page) on Snow Leopard 10.6.1. I'm connecting to both OpenSolaris and Linux VNC servers and can pretty regularly produce this error just by using the "logout" button under GNOME or XFCE.

I'd love to help investigate this more if needed.

I recommend http://www.jinx.de/JollysFastVNC.html - which is still under development. The Chicken seems to be dead.

JollyFastVNC is not Open Source.

"JollyFastVNC is not Open Source."

Yeah. Bummer.

Nor is OSX.

On the upside, Jolly seems to work well.
You can use the built in vnc client: Finder, cmd-K, vnc://hostname:port
Another open source option (that seems to be active): https://sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc/

Or you can push on Chicken; I'd love to see it progress.

Oops - https://sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc/ is a server.
