Save Configuration #78

I think I can help with both questions... I use the x11vnc server (apt-get install x11vnc) and run with this cmd: I connect fine from my windows machine with tightvnc client. |
Thanks for that.
I'll give it a go when I rebuild the WateringBeast.
Re VNC though, I think the problem is at the client end with the
protocol version that is used. The Pi uses 5.0 and Mint wants to use
3.8 (regardless of the update status of Mint). All my personal stuff
sits on a NAS on my network so I may just try and build another
environment (maybe xubuntu) and see if that works.

The files should be in /usr/local/etc/sprinklers_pi if you used all
the default install options. You can just tar that dir and as along as
you have the same version on the new box you should be able to just
drop that in and start it up.
I use the x11vnc server (apt-get install x11vnc) and run with this
cmd: |sudo /usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -auth guess -rfbauth /root/.vncpasswd
-o /var/log/x11vnc.log -forever -bg|
I can't remember how I generated the passwd file but google should be
able to help. Make sure you don't have any other vnc still running on
5900.

Hey it works now... outstanding. I rebuilt the pi and it is happy to work.

Happy New Year!!!!!!
I have been trying to get VNC working with my pi and I have really been messing with everything. I would like to do a clean install. BUT FIRST I would like to save the configuration/schedules etc of sprinklers_pi.
Is there a set of files or anything I can move to another computer and reload after a full build?
While where at it, as a secondary question that has nothing to do with sprinklers_pi... has anyone managed to get VNC to work on a pi? I can't get any VNC client to start talking to it from my Linux Mint machine. I always get something like this:
TheCook@MyBox ~ $ xvnc4viewer

Why is RFB protocol version sooooooo old? I'll try and ask the question on a Mint forum too.
