I'm using ...
Xvnc Free Edition 4.1.1
I use vncserver :1 -localhost
If I am not at the desktop, I connect via ssh via port forward using this
script:
------------begin script on next line---------------------------
#!/usr/bin/bash
ssh -f -L 25901:127.0.0.1:5901 me@mybox sleep 10
vncviewer -Shared 127.0.0.1::25901 &> /dev/null &
-----------end script on previous line--------------------------
Most ports on the network are blocked by a firewall, but ssh is open.
Thanks for replying.
I have to say, though, your questions seem generic and unrelated to my
question. I wouldn't have thought any information would be needed to
answer the question about what needs to be running on the system for VNC
to work. For all of these scenarios (connection, network, etc.) isn't the
answer the same about whether a window manager needs to be running on :0?
Or maybe you are thinking about other ways I might use VNC to get what I
want (e.g., connecting to :0). I'm definitely interested. Thanks.

HI Mike
Please can you send as much information about your environment as possible
(VNC Server and Viewer versions, Editions, OSs, etc). Please also send full
details of your network configuration (network/firewall/antivirus/security
software configuration). How are you connecting (locally/VPN/internet/3G)?
How are you starting VNC Server? Please send the command line options or
config file you are using.

Subject: Ubuntu with Xvnc to :1 with no window manager at :0
Is it possible to boot Ubuntu, not load an X window manager and still run
Xvnc on :1 for remote access?
If I'm actually sitting at the machine, I have to load a window manager to
be able to see vncviewer, I assume?
Is that how it works?
What I've been doing is using IceWM in Xvnc and exclusively accessing the
system through that, but I have Gnome running all the time on :0, mostly
doing nothing but taking up space.
Mike
