  issue 51 (Additional documentation request: format for file used in ht...) reported by andersja   -   What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. read Wiki howto What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Info on file format - is it a plaintext list of hosts, are port numbers (e.g. 123.234.23.23:5900) allowed? XML? other? What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.5 on Ubuntu 9.10, looking to upgrade to 0.6 as soon as Issue 48 is fixed. Please provide any additional information below.

  issue 48 (wrong permissions in the ubuntu package for gitso) commented on by andersja   -   gerberad - once this is fixed, may I suggest pushing this through the Ubuntu packaging approval process and get it included in the Debian/Ubuntu repositories? It would open up usage to a much larger audience. FYI: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/319444 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide

  issue 42 (gitso 0.6 - Not working between Windows and Ubuntu) commented on by harry2o   -   OK, Aaron's message in the merged issue thread was: "I'm guessing this is the same issue as the main issue from 42. There was some other dialog for a couple comments, but the core issue, I believe is the same. I don't know if Gitso is incorrectly identifying the VNC process as not running, or the VNC client really isn't running. If someone could run the VNC process manually, by-passing Gitso, that would tell where the issue lies... If I can put together more specific directions, I will do so." I tried the following: - "Give support" on Ubuntu - run WinVnc.exe manually on Windows (Vista64 Business), placed itself in the systray immediately - run Gitso "Get help" on the same Windows -> WinVNC will complain that another instance is already running (this appears when clicking "Start" on Windows) -> nevertheless, after confirming that dialog with "OK", on Ubuntu the Windows screen shows up -> However, Gitso still reports as "Could not connect." -> Furthermore, when clicking "Start" on Windows Gitso (Get Help) again, it endlessly stays "Connecting..." (Neither "Stop" nor the X nor "File,Quit" will work, and you have to kill the process)

"Connecting..." on status line in "Get Help", vncserver icon appear in systray 2. For the fraction of a second you see the Windows screen on Ubuntu 3.

  issue 50 ("Could not start server." without firewall) reported by harry2o   -   What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start "Gitso" 2. Click "Give Support" 3. Click "Start" What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I'd expect the Gitso server to start or something. But all I see is the status line "Could not start server." What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Gitso 0.6 on Windows Vista 64 (Business). Please provide any additional information below. - This behavior occurs also even if I completely disable the firewall. - While the status line tells me "Starting Server...", the vncviewer icon appears in the taskbar. When the starting fails, the icon doesn't disappear, but it does when hovered with the mouse (which is probably another issue, cos it should disappear automatically). - Unfortunately the program and the system don't provide me with any information about what the problem is. The program doesn't create a logfile (EVEN if started with admin rights, see also http:// code.google.com/p/gitso/issues/detail?id=49 ) and the Windows event viewer doesn't give any information at all. What do you need, what should I do?

  issue 49 (Gitso will only create log file if run as Administrator (Vis...) commented on by gerberad   -   Totally. I completely understand that. On a smaller project where there aren't a ridiculous amount of bugs, that's totally cool to post here even if it's not really a bug. Ideally we'd have a different place for that, like you alluded to. If the project gets big enough or I can find a cheap enough solution, then we'll implement a discussion based section of the site. Until then, I definitely appreciate the bug report and encourage all discussions here! Cheers.

  issue 46 (Gitso (get help) forgets previously used hostnames/addresses) reported by fernd...@yahoo.com   -   I've only tested this in Windows 7. Basically I will connect out to a listening server and then disconnect. The hostname that I entered before connecting seems to be forgotten by Gitso after the application is closed. If I want to reconnect to the same server, I have to type the address in again. Not a big problem, but might help to make things just that much more easier on both parties if the same address didn't need to be typed back in after each restart.

  issue 45 (Ubuntu+nVidia+compiz bug might cause VNC to fail at refreshi...) reported by fernd...@yahoo.com   -   I'm not sure if you guys were aware of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/353126 Basically, the video stream fails to refresh if the person with the server is using Ubuntu and has an nVidia video card with Compiz enabled. There are "workarounds" posted through out the link above that you might decide to integrate, like the "-noxdamage" option which isn't a great solution... I suppose a real lofty feature that would "fix" the problem is for Compiz to somehow be automatically disabled just before a VNC session begins, kind of like how in Windows the desktop wallpaper goes black while a connection is active. I'm sure this bug will eventually get fixed (I could swear they did fix it a while back and then it came back and seemingly nobody knows why), but it is an issue that goes back for years with seemingly no progress being made towards a fix recently. This isn't really a bug report that pertains to gitso directly, but just something I wanted to let you guys know about if case you hadn't encountered it yet.

  issue 43 (Support for display names, instead of IP only.) changed by gerberad   -   Actually, it's really just a way to associate IP names and a human readable label. For example: Name: Randy Jones IP: 10.13.9.78 That way, whether you set these in the hosts.txt which were distributed with the Gitso installer or you included them on a server and set Gitso to look to that file (currently supported) or even if you hand entered an IP, you'd have a way to associate a name with it so you don't forget which is which... I was thinking it may be hard to manage these inline in the interface, so we could add an extra window to manage these associations. If you have ideas on how the interface should be implemented, all ideas are welcome. Code, mock-ups, discussion... Cheers, Aaron-

BTW, getting Gitso installed in Ubuntu required an extra step for me: 1. Double clicked gitso_0.6_all.deb, which opened in Package Installer with the following message: "Dependency is not satisfiable: x11vnc" 2. Had to enable universe repository: System > Administration > Software Sources > check all > Close > Reload 3. Now double clicking gitso_0.6_all.deb and then clicking "Install Package" worked just fine.

  issue 42 (gitso 0.6 - Not working between Windows and Ubuntu) commented on by gerberad   -   My guess is that Gitso is not properly identifying if the connection has been made. It checks to see if the VNC process is going, thinks that it isn't and cleans up.... If there is anything odd with your system that might help, please mention it. Otherwise, we'll probably have to wait for other bug reports to come in to see if we can find a common thread. There was also an issue that a user was having between Windows XP and 2003. Which I'll add to this thread... That doesn't immediately help your issue, but thanks for the info!

  issue 40 (Connection terminates immediately) Status changed by gerberad   -   If it's something that is wrong with Gitso, there should be an error in the file Gitso.exe.log, which is found in the same directory that Gitso is installed in. If it's an issue with tightVNC, I don't know where that log is. Also, if it's an issue with tightVNC, there's not too much we can do, unfortunately... It looks like tightVNC has a new beta out. Once the official version is out, we'll start using that. You could try downloading that and replacing the tightVNC that is found in the Gitso directory with the newest version from tightVNC... If you try that, please let us know how it goes.

  Status: Done
