Release 26.05

This is a maintenance release. Most of the updates are related to the TigerVNC v1.16.2, which is being introduced in this release.

Updated versions:

  • TigerVNC to version 1.16.2
    • only in images based on Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)
    • avoid using an empty VNC password (environment variable VNC_PW) with this version

Updated files:

  • Dockerfile.xfce.24-04, Dockerfile.xfce.22-04 and Dockerfile.xfce.20-04

    • The standard Linux help viewer man has been added (at stage_tools).

  • vnc_startup.rc

    • The TigerVNC 1.16.2 has deprecated the folder $HOME/.vnc and the new path for the configuration files (config, passwd) is now $HOME/.config/tigervnc

      • This does not apply to the images based on the Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 that do not work with the TigerVNC 1.16.2 and therefore still include the TigerVNC 1.13.1.

    • a new variable VNC_CONFIG_HOME is used for configuring the correct path for the VNC configuration files

    • All required environment variables are validated individually one-by-one. There are listed in the array required_vars.

    • An empty VNC password is not working any more and therefore a non-empty one is enforced. Do not set the environment variable VNC_PW to an empty string!

      • Note that you can provide the password also
        • as part of the connection string if you're using a WebBrowser and noVNC
          • example: http://localhost:36901/vnc_lite.html?password=headless
        • via the command line parameter -PasswordFile if you're using the TigerVNCViewer
          • example: vncviewer64.exe" -PasswordFile my.pass :35901
          • you'll need to generate the my.pass file using the vncpasswd utility
