Ok found it , I had run dpkg reconfigure on something and it had blown out part of the xorg.conf file but not the vnc section so I did not spot it. the following three lines were removed from the "Screen" section: Option "SecurityTypes" "VncAuth" Option "UserPasswdVerifier" "VncAuth" Option "PasswordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd" Maybe something could be done ot improve the misleading error message to indicate what the specific problem is. main: No password configured for VNC Auth Impressice error trapping can be very misleading and waste an awful lot of time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
