Some years ago, probably using OpenSuse 12.*, I was able to open KDE Desktop sharing (I’m very sure that is what it was), and allow a remote Windows computer to access my desktop. We did this several times actually.
However, I’m trying to give a person access to my desktop - they on Windows using Tiger VNC Viewer - and while they are able to connect to my computer, all they can view is a login splash screen. That is all there is - there is no option to even login.
I would think the expected behaviour would in fact be… desktop sharing and that is what I’m trying to achieve. Would anyone be able to explain how to configure KDE Desktop Sharing (Krfb) such that I give a remote computer the password and then accept the connection, that they would be able to view my desktop?
I also see there is an option to automatically accept connections with a password; we tried that as well but still the same problem.
The odd (to me) thing is that they can control my mouse cursor - I can see it moving, but they can see nothing but the green splash screen with the light bulb.
Thanks so much!
