Hello everybody, I apologize if it's not the right place to ask, I don't even know if there is anybody reading here but I have a question that is driving me crazy and couldn't find an answer anywhere. The problem is this. I have a CentOS 6.4 installation running at runlevel 3, no Xserver running. Since display :0 is free, I would like that running the command:
vncserver an Xvnc process starts running hooking to display :0. This does not happen. It always hooks to display :1 (or the lowest free, except :0). I could not find a setting to change this behaviour to save my life. If I run vncserver :0 Everything goes smoothly and I can use display :0 with no problem at all. I just can't change the default behaviour. Where it can be set? I read guides, and they mention editing the file /etc/sysconfig/vncservers VNCSERVERS="1:larry 2:moe 3:curly" VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 640x480" VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 640x480" VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 800x600" (and create the users, their password, etc. etc.). This does not work. First of all: this is not what I want. I do not want that when larry launches the vncserver it runs on display :1, when moe does, it runs on display :2 etc. etc.. I would like that whoever launches the server, gets display :0. The command should always launch display :0, even if I launch it with user jonh, who is not mentioned in VNCSERVERS. Secondarily: the geometry parameter is not taken into account: whenever and however I launch the server, it always has geometry 1200x960, which is the last I set directly via gnome menu: System -> Preferences -> Display. This one should get overridden, but it's not. I do not know where I can change this but I suspect it is X related, not tiger-vnc related. Yet I do not understand why the geometry is overridden. Last but certainly not least, this whole configuration only works if I launch the vncserver as a service, which I do not, and do not want to. If I run: service vncserver start Then if I am larry I fire up display :1, moe :2, curly :3 and so on. But if I launch the command as: vncserver Whoever I am, I always wind up with a process listening on display :1 (unless I explicitly pass a different display of course), so it seems the parameter file in that case is not even read. So... where's the file that holds the indication to launch display :1 when executed as a command instead of a service? Many thanks for your help!
