------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-11 05:10 ------- vncserver on linux runs on a seperate xserver, so it does not work like in windows where you can see the same desktop remotely as you do locally. Your local display is :0 and your vnc display should be :1 What user did you start vncserver as? possibly root? Check /root/.desktop file or /etc/sysconfig/desktop. If you are seeing the default Mandrake wallpaper, you are not running fluxbox in vnc. If you don't see any functional desktop at all, most likely you are running KDE in your vncserver and are experiencing the same bug as the rest of us. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Both KDE and GNOME seem to be having trouble with Galaxy tightvnc-server-1.2.7-2. It seems to be focused on Galaxy-KDE as explained later. Fluxbox works just fine, just GNOME and KDE have exhibited issues. KDE loads the wallpaper and then various components seem to go flashing by like a grey bar where the kicker is supposed to be. Eventually ending up with a screen shot like this. http://www.gkmweb.com/images/9.1-KDE_vnc.jpg The desktop keeps flashing periodically. GNOME has a similar behavior in that it flashes, but the desktop seems to load. Occasionally after one of the flashes, an error message pops up a dialogue box that says KDesktop error. Sorry, i was not able to capture it. I thought maybe the Galaxy theme had something to do with it, so I switched KDE to the Keramik theme, and it still exhibited this behavior, although the the error message and the flashing stopped occurring when GNOME was running. So maybe it does belong to Galaxy, and that led me to post it here as a KDE-Galaxy bug. vnc logs have nothing interesting in them and the system logs are equally bare on this issue. What else can I do to help troubleshoot?
