The startup of the Xserver is not part of the (standard) installation of vnc. Some distributions (RedHat for example) include a 'vncserver' installation that is able to start Xvnc at boot. However, after installation, it needs some additional administration. Roughly, it is: start vncserver, at least once, manually for each user that needs a vncserver at boot. Then there is a file in which those users are administrated. If you start reading /etc/init.d/vncserver (the startup scrip) you will find the file to add users. Better not to add vncservers for every potential user since all servers run all the time. Use it for a select number (1 or 2) of users. > I read an article on this subject which is saying that it's "Aurora" > (graphical boot interface of Linux) which is blocked because VNC is > asking for a password. > So before running "vnc-server" I want to know what should I > do in order that Aurora doesn't block itself? To my experience, there are better ways to start vnc automatically: http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp to start vncservers on the fly. http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ to do a M$Windows like vncsession to the console.
