Need help identifying Xvnc

I've got an old slitaz installation that has gone into kernel panic on bootup so I'm looking to reinstall it. I was able to access the old drive via a live cd and backup the entire system with rsync to external usb.

One of the apps that was used frequently on the old machine was vnc over ssh. I'm currently creating a customized tazlito iso using justx as a base, and adding what I need. I notice that in the rsynced backup of the old machine is /usr/bin/Xvnc but I can't figure out what vnc server it was on the old machine. I tried installing x11vnc to my iso, but that creates /usr/bin/x11vnc. I tried installing tightvnc to the iso, but that doesn't seem to create any reference at all in /usr/bin.

How did /usr/bin/Xvnc get there and what app is it specifically? How do I track this down purely through the backup files (this is a non-running machine now).

(Also, /etc/rcS.conf on the old machine specifically lists Xvnc under RUN_DAEMONS, not x11vnc or tightvnc, etc. So what vnc do I need to re/install?)

Re: Need help identifying Xvnc

Hi,

Searching for file "Xvnc": http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?file=Xvnc

It shows only one result: tightvnc package. And it exists in the "Cooking / Rolling", "4.0", and "3.0" versions of SliTaz. Location of Xvnc file is /usr/bin/Xvnc.

Re: Need help identifying Xvnc

UGH! My mistake.. I booted the dead slitaz machine using a bodhi-linux live cd to do the rsync backup. When I run 'ls /usr/bin -l' on the bodhi-booted system, it shows 'X' and 'x' (uppercase and lowercase) grouped together..

On my tazlito justx live iso, when I run 'ls /usr/bin -l' it groups all capital letters at the top, and then lowercase letters at the bottom. I didn't even consider it would be something to simple.

Anyway, user-error! But thanks for the packages search page. That will be very useful!
