when i want to start the vncviewer.bin with xterm i get 'PERMISSION DENIED'?

This is what i do :

starting xterm

cd media/mmc1/

./vncviewer.bin myhost:192.168.1.109 -passwd=zxc

PERMISSION DENIED

I think you need to copy vncviewer.bin into the /bin directory.

To do that copy, I think you need to be root (eg "sudo cp vncviewer.bin /bin").

Yes, /media/mmc1 (the MMC card) is mounted with "noexec" - presumably for security reasons.

you can copy it to your home directory /home/user or ~ and execute it from there

Thx all, but sorry i am a complete Linux rooky

How is the copy command line to copy vncviewer.bin from ./media/mmc1 to the user dir?
(when i am i that directory)

Is there a way in Linux to create a sort off batchfile or shortcut to execute vncviewer with commandline options from the menu.

With other words can you see the server screen and navigate with through the touchscreen?

I wonder also why there is so less interest to get this thing work.
It will be great to use the 770 as remote, like for example a music browser.
Even better we could have SAMBA which will let your 770 see your windows machines and shared folders (and vice versa.) Play them with your 770.

Put your 770 in a car with attached USB hard-drive and wi-fi your tunes to the car (or vice-versa.) Remove the 770 for on-the go internet.

Holy crap, it worked perfectly, that is awesome! (aside from the keyboard issue which I will be working on as soon as I get some USB sockets from CPC)

That would have been the only other reason I would need to carry my laptop around with me, I just need a bluetooth phone and I am done for all my portable comms needs.

For those not able to get it running:

- install xterm
- copy vncviewer.bin onto the MMC
- start xterm
- type:
Code:
cd ~
cp /media/mmc1/vncviewer.bin .
./vncviewer.bin hostname:portnumber -passwd=yourpassword
The default port for VNC is 5900, you can probably leave it out though. I always run my VNC installs off a different port though, just to be safe, but obviously use strong passwords too.

Thx Gareth!

Like i questioned before; is there a way to enter the startup commandline with parameters on a more easy way than typing the hole thing again and again in Xterm?

Hybride 2005-12-14 17:36
WOW! This is great!

Through the menu you also can get full screen
