Cannot connect to Real VNC server with vncdotool api (hanging on method execution)
If you're experiencing issues connecting to a RealVNC server using the vncdotool
API and the program hangs during method execution, it could be due to various reasons. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Verify server availability: Ensure that the RealVNC server is running and accessible. Double-check the server IP address, port, and any authentication requirements.
Update
vncdotool
: Make sure you have the latest version ofvncdotool
installed. You can upgrade it usingpip
:csspip install --upgrade vncdotool
Check compatibility: Confirm that the version of
vncdotool
you're using is compatible with your RealVNC server version. Refer to thevncdotool
documentation or the project's GitHub repository for compatibility information.Verify connection parameters: Double-check the connection parameters you're passing to the
vncdotool
API. Ensure that the server address, port, and authentication details (if required) are accurate.Handle authentication: If your RealVNC server requires authentication, ensure that you're providing the correct username and password when connecting through the
vncdotool
API.Verify network connectivity: Ensure that there are no network connectivity issues between the client running the
vncdotool
API and the RealVNC server. Check firewall settings, network configurations, and any other network-related factors that might affect the connection.Debugging and logging: Enable debug logging in
vncdotool
to gather more information about the issue. You can set the logging level to debug using thelogging
module in Python. For example:pythonimport logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
With debug logging enabled, you may see additional details in the console output that can help pinpoint the problem.
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to provide more specific information about the error message or the code you're using with vncdotool
for further assistance.
