QtCreator over VNC problem

I'm using QtCreator with the x11vnc server + xrdp, and run it maximised with no problems. The only issue I've had with it on the Pi and other Linux boxes is that I sometimes get a blank splash page covering the majority of the window, but this goes away when you select the edit page.

Could you tell me the command line for running x11vnc? I'm having difficulty getting it going.

I use systemd to start it on boot up, so its always available for x11rdp. Copy the files in to the location shown below and issue:-

sudo systemctl install x11vnc.service

That gets the command line options from /etc/default/x11vnc, I've got it set to use display :0 so it always uses the default session rather than creating a separate one. You'll also need to store the password which you can do with:-

sudo x11vnc -storepasswd /etc/default/x11vnc.pass

:::::::::::::: /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service :::::::::::::: [Unit] Description=VNC Server for X11 Requires=display-manager.service After=display-manager.service

:::::::::::::: /etc/default/x11vnc :::::::::::::: # Default settings for x11vnc-server. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from # /etc/init.d/x11vnc.

# Options to pass to x11vnc X11VNC_OPTS=-xkb -nowireframe -forever -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0

-display :0 -rfbauth /etc/default/x11vnc.pass -rfbport 5900 -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -repeat -bg -localhost

Thanks! I'll try that tomorrow.

I think I've nailed the problem. I did a lot of searching before I came here and, subliminally, something told me the Welcome page was the problem. Certainly if I go to Help>About Plugins and uncheck Welcome everything seems to work normally.

Being me, I maximised the window and re-checked Welcome with the result I had to go back to my backup :(

Many thanks for your help.
