I have UltraVnc running (under WINE) on a Xubuntu 7.04 box but when

It also shows the VNC Server IP address, the port (5900), a speed
of 123 kbps and 0 traffic.

What have I configured incorrectly?



I've not been able to get it to connect when running the server under
WINE. Even resetting the port to 5901 or some other port number and
stopping other vnc services such as vino etc. If I set to prompt to
ask I can tell that the connection is being made (the prompt will
come up on the server machine), but after that it simply closes.


With no port number, the linux machine asks for a password. As soon as
I enter it, it quits.

Does the same when I try it. For some reason it is killing the client
immediately.


I use the UltraVNC client and krdc when connecting to UltraVNC
windows machines and it works great. However, coming the other way
from another linux machine to linux machine I just use krdc (even
though I use gnome - it's a *much* better client than Gnome-RDP).
Krdc also works much better when vnc'ing into a windows box that is
running UltraVNC -- the only thing that you can't do with krdc is
file transfer and chat.

File transfer is vital for me.

Ah, that's the purpose.

Any particular reason that you are trying to run the UltraVNC
_server_ on your linux box?

So I can log into it from my Windows machine.

You don't need to run UltraVNC on the Ubuntu machine to vnc to it. The
UltraVNC client on the windows machine will connect just fine if you use
the standard System|Preferences|Remote Desktop. However, client chat and
file transfer won't work.
Note: if you UltraVNC via WINE from the linux machine to the windows
machine chat and FT does work. So I see what you mean & would like to
see it work the other way as well. If I figure anything out I'll let you
know.
