Xspice X Server

Hi,

Trying to get Xspice going as X server that opens a port to remotely connect. No info on this on the web, so trying to piece together. I've created the file ~/.xserverrc with the following:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/Xspice --password 123456789 --ipv4-only --port 5900  "$@"

This seems to start and run okay with 'startx', then i3 starts normally. And I see a Xspice process. But no ports are open for xspice client to connect too.

Any ideas? Or helpful links?

How and did you resolve https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=298646 ?

On topic:

How do you determine this? nmap? netstat/ss? Do you connect from the local host or across a network?

nmap <ip.of.the.spiceserver>

No info on this on the web

Seth,

Thanks your help got my other thread solved and I updated. This post was for the Xspice server which is different then x11spice.

I used 'lsof -i -n -P' for looking at ports. But since I solved x11spice, I dont need to troubleshoot the Xspice issue.

Ok, just fyi, you can look up open local ports w/ netstat/ss (try "ss -tulpen") and for remote access scan the host w/ nmap.
