Gents, I just installed F11 preview and fully updated it on a couple of machines. I note the following now:
First - installation now seems to go fine. I noticed that the required font package is now installed when the tigervnc-server package is installed. That's a good thing! Second - I seem to have developed a new problem. I cannot switch desktops for vnc no matter what i do now. First I tried our normal method of installing switchdesk, switching to icewm and then rebooting. No matter what I do, I get the gnome desktop. Next I tried modifying xstartup as shown below: GNU nano 2.0.6 File: xstartup #!/bin/sh #vncconfig -iconic & #unset SESSION_MANAGER #OS=`uname -s` #if [ $OS = 'Linux' ]; then # case "$WINDOWMANAGER" in # *gnome*) # if [ -e /etc/SuSE-release ]; then # PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin # export PATH # fi # ;; # esac #fi #if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc #fi #if [ -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then # exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc #fi #[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources #xsetroot -solid grey #xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & #twm & [ ! -d ~/.icewm ] && mkdir ~/.icewm icewm-xdg-menu --entire-menu --with-theme-paths --icon-size 16 --theme Bluecurve > ~/.icewm/programs.autogen However, this doesn't work anymore as it fails to render the icewm desktop. Next, I note the following when I try to restart the vncserver service [r...@vmh1 .vnc]# service vncserver restart Shutting down VNC server: 1:root [ OK ] Starting VNC server: 1:root xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "vmh1:1" in "add" command New 'vmh1:1 (root)' desktop is vmh1:1 Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /root/.vnc/vmh1:1.log The following is the contents of the referenced log file: [r...@vmh1 .vnc]# cat vmh1:1.log Xvnc TigerVNC 0.0.90 - built Apr 30 2009 05:02:28 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd.
