I am trying to remotely set up a x11vnc server on my raspberry (with kali linux on it). I am fighting to understand what I am doing wrong here. I am connecting to the raspberry by ssh -X (not sure the display forwarding is necessary here). My sshd_config has:
X11Forwarding yes
#X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalhost yes
After having set up a root x11vnc password, I start the server with :
sudo x11vnc -ncache 10 -auth guess -nap -forever -loop -repeat -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 3390
And I have the following error:
17/01/2022 10:38:50 passing arg to libvncserver: -rfbauth
17/01/2022 10:38:50 passing arg to libvncserver: /root/.vnc/passwd
17/01/2022 10:38:50 passing arg to libvncserver: -rfbport
17/01/2022 10:38:50 passing arg to libvncserver: 3390
17/01/2022 10:38:50 x11vnc version: 0.9.16 lastmod: 2019-01-05 pid: 2519
17/01/2022 10:38:51 -auth guess: failed for display='localhost:10.0'
My env variable is indeed DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 , not sure if it's necessary to set it this way, and I confess I don't what should be this default env variable.
If anybody can explain me what I am doing wrong, I'll be so grateful. I fail to understand how X11 display works or even exist when connecting by ssh.
