VNC Server says it starts ok, but I can't connect and a grep for vncserver doesn't show it running. Is there a howto or doc that explains the new VNC Manager and how it's configured?
I also have Ximian desktop installed. I would like to uninstall it but I'm not sure how since it installed so much junk. All I really want is Evolution. Anyway, even though I've modified my /root/.vnc/xstartup to run 'exec startkde' , Ximian (gnome session) is still loading. How do I change this? ----------------->>>> Your friend in the vncserver is the error file (<host>:<port>.err) and the log file (<host>:<port>.log). These will tell you what the problem is at startup. They are both within your ~/.vnc directory. What is the command your using to start it? Mine looks something like: vncserver :12 -geometry 800x600 this would create the following files in ~/.vnc meserver:12.err meserver:12.log meserver:12.pid The err and log file will tell you what's going on with the start. Using ps ax vnc will show Xvnc as the process name if it has started. Modifying ~/.vnc/xstartup with exec startkde is not going to change your current xsession. In fact it might be messing up your vnc start. Your xstartup file should look like this: #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & gnome-session & If yours doesn't look like this then that may be the problem. Fix it and try to start vncserver again. If your wanting to change which X desktop environment you want to use that is done elsewhere. I like Ximian so I have not gone down the path of removal. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
