black screen #2

Is the server connected to an external display or a HDMI dummy plug? If not, and if you're unable to connect one, could you try using Arcane while actively connected through Windows RDP? Thank you in advance. |

10.0.0.10 (win serv 2012) - this is my virtual machine |
|
Have you tried while being actively connected with RDP ? |
|
no. does it have to be RDP active ? I thought that was an alternative. |

To function correctly, Arcane requires the target computer to have one of the following:
In short, Arcane relies on capturing and transmitting the visual output from an active desktop using Windows API, BitBlt, which is a GDI (Graphics Device Interface) function. BitBlt operates on the device context of the display, copying pixel data from the screen for remote rendering. However, if the computer does not have any active display, whether physical or virtual, there is no device context available for Arcane to capture and BitBlt cannot function. Arcane is a unique alternative to traditional remote desktop software, though it is more limited in scope. This limitation stems from the fact that the server component is written entirely in PowerShell. I have no intention of implementing the server or any other part of the server in another language, as the primary goal and true purpose of this project is to create a remote desktop solution fully developed in PowerShell. In the future, Arcane will feature many enhancements that will distinguish it from other remote desktop applications. However, regarding the current display requirement, the best workaround in your situation would be to set up a virtual display using one of the many open-source drivers available. I plan to write a guide on how to set up a virtual display, so stay tuned for that! 😉 |

ok, |
I see a black screen when connecting to win serv 2012. can this be solved ?
