[SOLVED] tightvnc clipboard?

kaizoku · 2010-07-18 10:02:58

I have followed http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tightvnc but clipboard does not work, I cannot copy and paste from client-server. Please advice.

Good question. You'll note that I left a section for this on the wiki, but someone has yet to complete it: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tig … Clipboards

kaizoku,

I had the same problem.

Its working now, running autocutsel -fork on the vncserver machine and autocutsel -fork on the vncviewer
machine.

In fact I dont know if it is necessary to run it in the viewer machine, because I already had it there.

Both computers are Arch, with tightvnc 1.3.10-5.

@mektub - you run this in ~/.vnc/xstartup or just run it in any shell prior to connecting?

Since I have had my VNC session opened for ages, till now I just excecuted it from a terminal console.

Yes, I did put it in xstartup, but I didnt reboot yet.

Cool, thanks. You wanna update the wiki article?

I will do it as soon as I restart the vncserver ( some time tomorrow) and check that it still works.

Thanks, I will try and see if it works.

Edit:
It works! Thanks!! :D

Don't need to run autocutsel on client side. Here is my config.
xstartup

#!/bin/sh
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
autocutsel -fork
exec ck-launch-session startlxde

Yes, kaizoku, you are right!

Just tested also, and updated the wiki.

Nice.
