How to Install PasswordSafe on Fedora 21




Note: I tried to install PasswordSafe on Fedora 20 but it was not able to resolve dependencies. Finally succeeded on Fedora 21.
  1. Download .rpm from - http://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/Linux-BETA/0.95/
    I downloaded pwsafe-0.95.1BETA-3.x86_64.rpm
  2. Switch to root and copy the .rpm file to /root
  3. Run "yum -y install pwsafe-0.95.1BETA-3.x86_64.rpm"
    It resolved dependencies and installed them
    wxBase3.x86_64 0:3.0.2-2.fc21
    wxGTK3.x86_64 0:3.0.2-2.fc21

VNC copy paste not working between client and VNC session

1. For windows XP run C:\Windows\System32\clipbrd.exe
For Win 7 / 8 where clipbrd.exe is missing, you can download it from here - http://www.thewindowsclub.com/downloads/Clipboard-Viewer.zip?e42721

2. Make sure vncconfig is not not running.

3. Add vncconfig -nowin -poll=500 & in your xstartup file. For linux your xstartup file will be under ~/.vnc/xstartup

This should work.
