ldconfig deferred processing now taking placeNow we'll have to add a password. Enter your own password when asked for.
Code:
(T: LiveXBMC)xbmc@LiveXBMC:~$ [color=red]x11vnc -storepasswd[/color]
Enter VNC password:
Verify password:
Write password to /home/xbmc/.vnc/passwd? [y]/n y
Password written to: /home/xbmc/.vnc/passwdNow open a screen session. (If you dont have it; sudo apt-get install screen)
Code:
(T: LiveXBMC)xbmc@LiveXBMC:~$ [color=red]screen -S vnc[/color]Continue
Code:
(T: LiveXBMC)xbmc@LiveXBMC:~$ [color=red]x11vnc -usepw -forever[/color]Our job on the pc is now done. Detach with CTRL+A+D. If you ever want to go back write screen -x vnc. Now on to the iPhone.
Pick up your iPhone. Go to Installer and download Touchpad Pro (Installer -> Utilities -> TouchPad Pro). Install it. Go into the program and select the "+" sign. Add the info for your PC. The port is 5900 and the IP can be found if you write ifconfig on your XBMC.
Now have fun!
I did this install on XBMC LiveUSB by l.capriotti. I did not get the mouse to work. I guess that has something to do with the packages selected. Although I would never use the mouse as effective as the remote keyboard. I tried it on a normal Ubuntu version and the mouse worked perfectly. Vino (default vnc for Ubuntu) also works with TouchPad Pro.
Hopefully to be hacked shortly after. I am running VNC on my install now but find that the screen no longer updates when using UltraVNC to control things - XBMC shows a black screen. That you can do this with the package on the iPhone is awesome though!
