There has been mention of backing up the flash/usb drive before making any changes. What is the preferred method to do this as well as validating the backup?
Hello, I followed up the procedure, and I got connection by VNC Viewer, but after a while without sending keys or moving the mouse the connection is refused from CB3 controller (1 or 2 minutes) .I must to reboot again but it's happening the same problem, any idea ? something wrong at the x11vnc parameters? or something at Debian ipconfig ? because the connection by ftp with Filezilla is refused too
Please , see attached file x11vnc.log and screeshots
Use Putty(if on windows), select SSH, put your IP address in, when you click on open, the SSH window will ask for a user name and password. Username: root Password: easybot
You will be in your linux backend. !!! BE CAREFUL AS YOUR THE ROOT USER !!! You can do alot once your in however you need to know about linux OS and how to navigate with a terminal. I wouldn't experiment in the UR box, better to get a junk computer with Linux and test your changes. I think UR has a modify Debian Linux build.
To learn about linux you will need to google. I like Ubuntu and Mint Linux. Or use a debian build.
I do not know why your VNC and FTP cuts out. Seems like the system goes to sleep or something. I would read the documentation on x11vnc, http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/. I would look at the http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/x11vnc_opts.html#opt-forever, which gives insite to the options when you called x11vnc. You can try to reopen x11vnc onces you SSH into your box.
You can have a permanent access if you do the following :
In the SSH session, enter the following command: x11vnc -storepasswd easybot /etc/x11vnc.pass
Using filezilla, copy the xsession file from root folder on your computer
Open the xsession file using notepad++ and include the following line at the beginning of the file right under #!/bin/bash: /usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -ultrafilexfer -noxdamage -display :0 -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -rfbport 5900 -forever -auth root -bg -o /var/log/x11vnc.log
Save the file and use filezilla to return the file in the root folder on the controller.
Reboot controller and DONE! use ULTRA VNC Viewer to connect to robot
Thanks David and the other ones help me, I have no idea about what is happening , after reboot and the connection is made....I can play with Filezilla, Putty or Vnc viewer with no problems , but on Vnc viewer , if I left a while without interacting whith Polyscope , the connection is refused from robot controller..I will try with another PC
I'm curious about how you are using vnc. Do you use it to monitor your production? Do you use it to program your robot remotely? Do you use it on your local network or over the internet?
At Robotiq, developers use it mainly to test the urcaps we are working on without leaving our seat. I know, this is lazy.
Hi, we basically use it for remote programming and remote debugging. As you know it will be tiring to hold the teach pendant and program for a long and complex sequence. Using VNC means, we can use the real keyboard and mouse.
Great news! No need to fiddle with the console and bash code to remotely control your robot anymore. With Remote Access, you can access the teach pendant directly in your web browser. On top of that, you can plug in webcams in the controller and see your robotic cell while jogging the robot.
It does not work anymore. That is because wheezy is not longer supported by the debian community. You can download the magic file attached and insert it in the controller. Full disclosure: This file comes from the UR+ forum.
The fact that ur runs on an obsolete operating system is disturbing. It means that the robot is no longer covered by security patches.
Should have been -noxfixes not -nofixes
Well hopefully my file contents and log file will help someone in the future.
Thanks.

Open the xsession file using notepad++ and include the following line at the beginning of the file right under #!/bin/bash: /usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -ultrafilexfer -noxdamage -display :0 -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -rfbport 5900 -forever -auth root -bg -o /var/log/x11vnc.log

Try it out on the demo robot here.
