You say Windows-based VNC clients don't work. Do Linux-based VNC clients work? It wouldn't be a solution, but it might be useful to help understand the problem. Also, have you tried any other windows-based VNC clients? Have you tried manually starting the vino vnc server from the command line? There's some interesting stuff here on how to control vino a little better: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266981 You could also (as a workaround), try installing vnc4server and starting it from the command line. That might help get you going. Gavin -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
