PiKVM support #476

Closed arch1mede closed 3 years ago

arch1mede commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I support a small community called PiKVM and would love to see this work towards the vnc server that's provided. Here is what the author told me why its not supported:

Guacamole is unsupported - Incorrectly implements vencrypt, no JPEG compression.

Uh, can you provide some more context what this feature request is about?

arch1mede commented 3 years ago

Not sure what else to add other than a request for it to work with this project. Looks like the author started to but then it fizzled out for some reason. See here

Well, we would like to know what PiKVM actually is and what feature exactly is requested. Is this here issue a mere duplicated of #458?

arch1mede commented 3 years ago

PiKVM This is a IP KVM that has a vnc server functionality, we have users looking for this to work within Guacamole but its currently not working per the verbiage in the original message, I am not sure if this would be considered a dupe as he was looking for specifics and then roping in an author that became unresponsive.

bk138 commented 3 years ago

So this issue is about "Let LibVNCServer support Guacamole"? By which means, i.e. what should be done? What exactly does not work, what should work?

arch1mede commented 3 years ago

Please provide what you'd want to see for logs, I don't have anything other than what the author has provided. libvnc does not connect or display, does not give an error at least through the web gui, as far as I can tell.

bk138 commented 3 years ago

Please see https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/how-to-write-good-bug-report/ and provide the needed info.

arch1mede commented 3 years ago

This isn't specific to libvnc but just a general how to report bugs. I don't know how else to word this request other than getting it to work. It could be tagged as a bug because it will not connect, it could be tagged as a feature because it should support the vnc server. I am really looking for support to get this working.

If you or anyone could provide the commands or where the logs you'd want to see attached here, then I can get them. I am currently running this in a docker so I do not know where to get this information for you.

bk138 commented 3 years ago

We simply need more info for tackling this. How to reproduce, with what versions of which software, what to look for etc.

Sup. Pi-KVM's author here.

The main problem with support is related to this task: #458. It describes the problem in detail and suggests solutions.

@mdevaev Alright, thanks for the info! So we can close this one as a dupe of #458?

mdevaev commented 3 years ago

Okay, but please add information about this to that issue.

bk138 commented 3 years ago

Okay, but please add information about this to that issue.

If you mean that this one's a dupe of #458, that's done automatically.
