Vine Server 3.0 definitely supports this.

To get it configured properly my suggestion is to use the Vine Server.app GUI, go to Server -> System Server... Configure and hit "Start System Server". To have it behave properly you need all the right tags in your LaunchD configuration.

launched from the loginwindow


I'm not sure, but I may also be having a problem with System Server
getting the login window. I haven't been able to test it because
Leopard has a bug that seems to prevent the wireless link from
coming up properly after reboot without logging in. However,
I do have a system server configured via the Preferences, and
here are some messages in the system log.

The connectAndCheck message in response to registering an Event Source seems to be an Apple oddness, because later when we request screen buffer information we no longer get the warning and are indeed able to connect to the window server.

If, after connecting you get that same error then there is a problem -- but I think if you manage to make a network connect on port 5902 you will find that it's all registered and working.

When I add Vine Server.app to user Login Items, it starts fine (both GUI app and daemon) when I log in. However, if I check the Hide checkbox on Login items, only the GUI app starts and the daemon does not run.

I have Vine Server in login items on my account and have System Server running on port (screen) 0 and desktop server from my account running on port 1. I then do the same for another account, but its desktop server is configured for port 2. However, when I login into that second account (while also being logged into the first account), I see on console that the Vine Server app for the second account in addition to starting desktop server on port 2 also tries to start system server on port 0 - it keeps quitting and relaunching in 10secs endlessly. The Vine Server app should have per user settings (check boxes) for both desktop and system server and only one user on the system should have the System server enabled. Or maybe a separate GUI app is needed for system server and launching Vine Server ap would only control desktop server. Otherwise it works great, I can access my desktop remotely while another person uses the computer. The only problem is with sound - when I empty trash, etc, remotely, the sound is played for the user who is sitting in front of the computer.

Regarding the problem with System Server on account #2. If you are on 10.5, the system server should launch but should halt during the startup process (Because of the -SystemServer flag). Please send your log to support@redstonesoftware.com so we can look at why it's not stopping.

That is interesting about the sound notifications, we hadn't noticed that problem at all; we'll see if there would be a simple way to correct that.

Since installing Vine Server 3, each time I restart my Leopard based MacBook I am prompted by the firewall about whether I would like OSXvnc-server to allow incoming connections. I always click "Allow" but I am continually prompted upon login.

The funny thing is that I am able to connect to the server from a remote computer even before answering the prompt about allowing incoming connections.

Anyone else seeing this?

Yeah, we are seeing it here too -- I _think_ that's just how it works. But maybe Apple will fix it.

Post subject: User mode/start on login/hide (on 10.4.11 - Doesn't start !!		 Reply with quote
Did this ever get solved .. I see exactly the same behavior. I need to use User mode and "Start on login" as I'm on 10.4.11 and clipboard services is critical .. with the hide checkbox ticked (under login items) the server fails to actually start.

Happy to provide logs etc if not fixed

cheers,
chris

PS. V3 is great otherwise. Really nice improvements and lots of fixes.

The doesn't launch on "auto-hide" is fixed for an upcoming maintenance release of Vine Server.
