* At a terminal, by typing 'open vnc://hostname: tcp_port'
Mac OS X includes a VNC client called Screen Sharing that you can invoke in two different ways: I appreciate that it's not meant to be a full VNC server, but it prevents me from using it remotely until a stable Mac build is feasible. It does not matter whether I specify authentication (or anything else) on QEMU's side, the behavior is always the same - I see the connection being established using netstat and tcpdump, but QEMU does not seem to send back any pixmap data after the connection setup.īest guess as to why this happens is that the VNC negotiation on QEMU does not like the protocol version and VNC encoding sent by the Mac's built-in VNC client, or that its negotiation logic is subtly broken. I've verified this when building QEMU from source (1.0 and HEAD) on Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian or when using Ubuntu (Oneiric) and Debian (Lenny) packages. When connecting to a QEMU instance from a Mac using any VNC settings on the QEMU CLI and any target arch (ARM, Intel, etc.), the connection is attempted but the negotiation never finishes.
