Help needed -- Pharo 2.0 or 3.0 RFB-able image

Hi Guys,

Not used Pharo for a while but getting back into it. I usually like to run images headless and VNC into them - means I can port them to any machines I choose.

Having a real problem getting RFB working again. I tried loading various versions of from smalltalkhub:

Gofer new
smalltalkhubUser: 'PharoExtras' project: 'RFB';
package: 'ConfigurationOfRFB';
load.
(ConfigurationOfRFB project version: '0.63') load.

But no real success. Ok, I can cope with the fact the main VNC Server menu doesn't work (uses a presumably deprecated method) by invoking thus:

RFBServer current stop;
initializePreferences;
configureForMemoryConservation;
allowEmptyPasswords: false;
setFullPassword: 'doer';
setViewPassword: 'viewer';
enableLogging: true;
enableDebugging: true;
allowZRLE: true;
start: 0.

I can *almost* get to this. TightVNC displays and crashes due to 'pseudo encoding -240' not being supported. UltraVNC will work, on some settings, but dragging a window will crash Pharo. Some socket error or other.

I'm prepared to run Pharo 2.0 or 3.0, any VNC viewer at all, and any version of RFB that works ... anybody who can tell me a working configuration will be a lifesaver.

Thanks ...

... John

These options do work in TightVNC

Start the server with:

RFBServer server

initializePreferences;

enableDamageFilter: false;

enableRawFilter: false;

allowEmptyPasswords: false;

setFullPassword: 'fullpass';

setViewPassword: 'lurker';

allowInteractiveConnections: true;

enableLogging: false;

enableDebugging: false;

alloZRLE: false;

start:0.

Then once it does its thing, play around with the options...

This is in a 3.0 loading RFB like this:

Gofer it

smalltalkhubUser: 'PharoExtras' project: 'RFB';

package: 'ConfigurationOfRFB';

load.

(#ConfigurationOfRFB asClass project version: #stable) load

Enjoy the new power of remote work.
