TightVNC remote desktop server and viewer with enhanced compression for low-bandwidth connections. Includes Xvnc server, vncviewer, vncpasswd, and vncconnect.
Ubuntu 24.04 dropped tightvncserver entirely. This build restores TightVNC with modern fixes:
tightvncserver on Noble without building from source. Modernised build system for GCC 10+ and current X11 libraries-scale option (e.g. -scale 50) with bilinear interpolation for smooth rendering in 16/32bpp modes, blending 4 nearest source pixels. All encodings (raw, tight, hextile, RRE, CoRRE, CopyRect) and soft cursor work at any scalememcpy(), buffer overflow in popup button names, deprecated XKeycodeToKeysym() replaced with XkbKeycodeToKeysym()/tmp/vncviewer_debug.log, and Xt error recovery-sshvnc user@host SSHes to a remote machine, starts x11vnc, creates an SSH tunnel, and connects the viewer automatically. Optional -sshvnc-display :N to specify the X display and -sshvnc-persist to keep x11vnc running after the viewer exits| Version | 1.3.10-16netlinux1-1 |
