Post subject: | x11vnc not working in headless machine |
I've set up a 6.0.4 LINHES mythbox that I intended to use primarily as a backend recording system. When I configured it I set it up as frontend + backend so that I could run the various configuration utilities. My intent was to mostly use vnc and x11vnc to remote into the machine. All was well while I had it connected to a real display, but once I moved it to it's final resting spot, where there is no physical display nearby, X11 and VNC no longer work. A peek at kern.log shows the following error messages: Code: Apr 17 17:22:49 mythsonoma agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP 2.0 bridge

I could have sworn I had done this successfully before, but perhaps not. So... is there a way I can get it so I can access the frontend via vnc without having to have the machine connected to a display? Thanks! |

Still no success, but I found the following additional info in the Xorg.0.log file: Code: (--) Apr 18 08:57:00 NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce 6200 at PCI:1:0:0:
(--) Apr 18 08:57:00 NVIDIA(0): none (EE) Apr 18 08:57:00 NVIDIA(0): No display devices found for this X screen. (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia" (II) UnloadModule: "wfb" (II) UnloadModule: "fb" (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found |

You'll need to capture the EDID from a monitor with nvidia-settings and point X to that with the CustomEDID option. See http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpos ... stcount=26 |

Don't use X11VNC - use tightvnc. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tightvnc |

slowtolearn, thank you for that suggestion. I subsequently found a somewhat simpler solution for my situation. I added the following line to the device section of /etc/X11/xorg.0.conf: Code: Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT"
garysky, vncserver looks like a better choice but it isn't pre-install on LINHES 6.0.4 and "pacman -S vncserver" tells me that the package doesn't exist. Any suggestions on how to install vncserver would be appreciated... |
