Fix copy / paste issue between vnc and windows

Posted on September 13, 2011

If you experience copy / paste issues between your vnc and windows,please see below checklist to troubleshoot.

1.Make sure you enable copy / paste feature in your vnc viewer options.(Send clipboard changes to server and Accept clipboard changes from server)

2.Make sure your have run process vncconfig on your linux /unix server .If not,just run command “vncconfig -nowin &” ,also I suggest to put this command to your xstartup files

vncconfig nowin &

3.If you only cannot copy / paste in gvim or other GNU tools,you need to replace “vncconfig nowin &” with “vncconfig -poll 1000 nowin&” (Seems this is a bug of Realvnc)

vncconfig -poll 1000 -nowin &

4.If you can copy / paste between vnc and your windows at the beginning,but cannot after a while,you need to close your vncviewer,then re-connect again.
