Hello. I just installed VectorLinux last night, my first time using linux. I'm new to it, and enjoying it, however, i'm having trouble with the gui in realVNC. I have browsed and searched the archives, and have not found enough information to fix my problem.
Here's my problem: when i log into linux from windows XP via realVNC, all i get is a command prompt (if thats what its called, i dunno lol) and a spiffy blue background. What i've done to fix this: I read somewheres that i need to change the configuration file for vnc on my linux box to my specific windows manager. I changed the file ~/.vnc/xstartup to one of my window managers, XFCE. Now, im not sure if thats what i needed to do, because that didnt work. You see, when i first boot up the computer, i type in 'startx' and i get a list of windows managers i can use, and XFCE is in that list. here's my file: [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & XFCE & I dont know if i need to change any other lines in the file, but from the example i saw, i only needed to change the last one. Im completely lost as to what to do, and i apologize for asking this question after it's been asked so many times before. But i really dont know what to do. Thanks. ~Keegan Morrison _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
