My attempts to run VNC in PW2.

[Lenorav]

I'm trying to a week, reading the forum, and looking for ways to try to make the PW2 as the VNC desktop monitor, but without success, as I'll show the steps, so help me where I am going wrong.

1: My device is jailbreak, with kual, and install kindlevncviever https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...8&d=1351345178 put this folder in root /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/

2: Conect usb-network in kindle
$ ssh root@192.168.15.244
Welcome to Kindle!
root@192.168.15.244's password:

# N O T I C E * N O T I C E * N O T I C E #
#################################################
Rootfs is mounted read-only. Invoke mntroot rw to
switch back to a writable rootfs.
#################################################
[root@kindle root]#

3: As read here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=150434 In pc on terminal i execute:
$ xinit /usr/bin/openbox -- /usr/bin/Xvnc :1 -geometry 1200x824 -depth 16 -dpi 160 -alwaysshared -lazytight

4: In other terminal i execute:
$ x11vnc -rfbport 5901 -forever

5: In root on kindle:
[root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 192.168.15.2:0 &
[root@kindle root]# 21/11/2014 13:08:19 ConnectToTcpAddr: connect
21/11/2014 13:08:19 Unable to connect to VNC server
/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh: line 11: can't create /proc/keypad: nonexistent directory
/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh: line 12: can't create /proc/keypad: nonexistent directory


And PW2 does not reproduce the desktop screen monitor, what step I'm missing?

Sorry to get back to you only now.

That version is for Kindle 2 (?), DX(G) and Kindle 3. Somewhere in the thread, somebody reported success with a Kindle 4, too, I think - but I'm not sure.

You would have to experiment with this: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=228167 - but I think there's still a bug somewhere hiding in that code base.

You should certainly not run x11vnc and Xvnc. Read up what they are for - and start with one of them.

When you run displays on :1 on the desktop (or on -rfbport 5901, which is about the same), you need to connect to 192.168.15.2:1 (note the ":1" here, too) from the Kindle.

This looks like either your desktop PC does *not* have the IP 192.168.15.2 (I just copied that from what you wrote, since I thought you know best, but check on your desktop with "ip addr") - or a VNC server (Xvnc or x11vnc) is not running, or not on port 5901 (":1"), or you have a firewall on your desktop or your VNC server does not listen on all interfaces.

The command "ip addr" appear this:
inet 192.168.15.201/24 brd 192.168.15.255 scope global usb0

This is my configuration VNC server

[hawhill]

So.... run "./luajit vncviewer.lua 192.168.15.201:1"?
Configuring x11vnc can get quite complex. See "x11vnc --help" for what I mean...
