VNC in Boox M92
Hi,
is it possible to use the Onyx as an external screen for a laptop? I was reading previous posts, and I found this https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=96 but I don't know how to run the .oar files in Linux. And it seems that the guides are more oriented in using Windows :/ I also read that it is necessary to install gserial https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...89&postcount=5 but when I do sh ().oar it gives me errors that some modules cannot be found. MAybe installing Obuntu is the best option, but I wanted to know if there is an easier option like using VNC as I explained before. Regards, D |

I figured it out, how to make it work in Xubuntu 14.04
It is only needed to follow the instructions in the README of https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=96 The difference is that it is only necessary to execute the normal gserial .oar file from the Boox (not the gserial without getty). Then the device appears in Linux in /dev/ttyACM0 Then just execute Serial_VNC.oar and let it wait Then it can be configured a vnc server using vnc4server using this guide http://www.namhuy.net/3106/install-v...ntu-14-04.html --> the most important is to make the ~/.vnc/xstartup file (it is not necessary to follow the instructions to make vnc start automatically) and the initialize the server in the terminal with vnc4server -geometry 1200x825 Finally, in another terminal, type sudo java -Dboox_serial_port=/dev/ttyACM0 -jar tightvnc-jviewer.jar -JpegImageQuality=Lossless from the corresponding directory where the jar files are. And that's it, I have a XFCE session in the M92 !! I hope this helps to someone Cheers, D |
