I tried getting this integrated. It's not working. But
here's something<br>
you can build as an extpack, and it contains docs. If

It's in the VBox tree now... finally found some time. A few
words of documentation are in the manual, too.<br>
<br>
I hope that the deb/rpm package build logic is now also
working, this was quite a bit of work to figure out how it
should be done properly. For those builds the VNC "extpack"
is included in the normal package, as anything else makes
little sense.

Additionally, it would be *great* to have a way to get
custom QT<br>
interfaces and configuration file formats into extpacks.
There was some<br>
work on this but, and it was implemented for the

This shouldn't need custom hacking - the listen address/port
works, and the VNCPassword stuff shouldn't be too hard
either, if we get to adding generic VRDE property editing
support in the GUI.<br>
<br>
Of course a few changes are necessary, to get over the "RDP"
centric labels ;)

Anyway, here's the file. It shows how to build and
register the extpack,<br>
and how to get the extpack to operate (I'm afraid you
will be using<br>
python commands to enable this for a specific VM
instance).<br>
<br>
Also, I'm having trouble finding the time to work on
this, and I don't<br>
really have a place to put this online. If anybody's
willing to do<br>
something like this ? I'd rather not put it on github or
something like<br>
that, as it'll just get fragmented and we'll end up with
10 different<br>
versions, all with weird bugs.<br>

I always planned to give it a home in the VBox source tree.
No promises if we'll make binaries available or if we leave
this to others. The most likely variant is the latter.

The contribution was a great starting point. Needed some
cleanup, and I couldn't resist implementing some optional
features, just to illustrate what's possible.<br>
<br>
Oh, and I had a go at the keyboard handling (Caps/Scroll/Num
Lock not handled, AltGr not handled, and keypad support was
a commented out theory). It's of course still unusable (or
at least bad) on non-US keyboards, because in general
reverse mapping from X keysyms to scancodes is impossible.
For simple keyboard layouts it's doable, but even there
knowledge of the keyboard map is required, and this isn't
there at all.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for the effort you all put into this,
and if you (or anyone else) has improvements, just let us
know. Now that the base code is in the tree it's a lot
easier to integrate improvements.<br>

I guess I am confused. You can compile VBox
with the VNC<br>
support<br>
(VBOX_WITH_VNC :=1) already.<br>
Not sure about Windows though. Is that what
this is about?<br>

This hasn't been fully integrated yet. I agree that
this would<br>
improve the VNC user experience significantly.<br>

Hi Perry.<br>
<br>
Being able to control it via the API is the main
thing I am<br>
looking for.<br>
<br>
<br>
There is a chance of having this in 4.1, if an
engineer finds enough<br>
time and the change including the cleanup is low
risk. In any case,<br>
it will first go into trunk.<br>

I am trying to get a better understanding of how this all works
together in preparation for the 4.2 release (whenever that
happens). <br>
<br>
This work is based on the libvncserver project. Does this mean that
we can use the latest version (0.9.9) with support for noVNC HTML5
VNC Viewer (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://kanaka.github.com/noVNC/">http://kanaka.github.com/noVNC/</a>) and websockets. I have
a feeling that we are going to need to manually compile the
extension (which is fine). <br>
<br>
I am a little bit confused about the keymap discussion. Doesn't the
VNC client connect directly to the vncserver?<br>
<br>
It seems that password part is stored using the vboxmanage command.
Could this be set via the Webservice API?<br>
<br>
Will VNC be able to be managed by the VRDE API? <br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
