Can not find vncserver on OpensSuse 13.2

I have the following installed on my OpenSuse 13.2 machine.

  • x11vnc-0.9.13-9.1.4.x86_64
  • tigervnc-1.3.1-6.3.1.x86_64
  • xorg-x11-Xvnc-7.6_1.12.3-1.5.1.x86_64
  • libgtk-vnc-2_0-0-0.5.3-2.1.4.x86_64
  • gtk-vnc-lang-0.5.3-2.1.4.noarch
  • libgvnc-1_0-0-0.5.3-2.1.4.x86_64
  • libvncserver0-0.9.9-10.2.1.x86_64
  • libgtk-vnc-1_0-0-0.5.3-2.1.4.x86_64

But no vncserver executable is found . On my Suse 13.1 , vncserver is provide by tightvnc-1.3.10-14.2.1.x86_64 and that package appears to not be available on OpenSuse 13.2.

Any help would be appreciated . thank you.

On my 13.2 system:


wolfi@linux-lf90:~> rpm -qf `which vncserver`
xorg-x11-Xvnc-1.3.1-6.14.1.x86_64

You have xorg-x11-Xvnc-7.6_1.12.3-1.5.1.x86_64 installed, that’s the package from openSUSE 12.2!
Upgrade the package to the version included in 13.2 and you should have your vncserver executable.

sudo zypper in -f xorg-x11-Xvnc

And please post your repo list, maybe something is wrong there. There must be a reason why you still have that 12.2 package installed…

zypper lr -d

Your other packages seem to be the 13.2 versions. Probably you didn’t correctly upgrade to 13.2, as 7.6_1.12.3 is a higher version than 1.3.1, “zypper up” e.g. will not install the newer version in that case. “zypper dup” is what you have to use for upgrades, that will handle such a situation correctly, if your repos are correct.
But you should update your system, there are two newer tigervnc packages in the update repo already… :wink:
