I'm trying to setup a VNC server on a remote machine to use i3 as the windows manager. I am running this on Ubunut 12.04 (Precise) and I've tried installing the i3 package, and also compiling from source, but I can't get it to work.
i3 complains that XKB is not supported by X-server, and I'm now out of ideas on how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Try to use x11vnc. It opens an existing display and allows VNC connections to it.
You can just run x11vnc to share your current X session,
or start another X server and connect to it, for example:
cookie=$(mktemp)
xvfb-run -f "$cookie" -s '-screen 0 1280x800x24' -n 3 i3 &
x11vnc -auth "$cookie" -display :3
You can use „sh .xsession” instead of „i3” if you defined your .xsession file.
Disclamer: I'm new here and this is my first answer. Comments welcome.
