Hello- (sorry if this has already been hashed out in another thread -- ) I am trying to get VNC running on a RH ES 3.0 (fresh install) box that will get me to a Gnome session. I'm able to get it to work using twm, but when I alter my /.vnc/xstartup file to start w/ Gnome, I get a blank (almost black) screen with a cursor. I wait and wait for Gnome- but all I can do is move a cursor around and do nothing else.
Can anybody point me in the right direction here? (I'm fairly new to Gnome and X, as we've only run Linux for DNS servers mainly, w/ no GUI...) * I have done the following so far: -Installed with OS: vnc-4.0-0.beta4.1.1 -altered /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess (saved Xaccess.orig)--uncommented "any host can get a login window". -altered /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf (saved gdm.conf.bak) --set [xdmcp] Enable=true **I don't know if those steps were actually necessary** Thanks for any help! -Chris Below is a bunch of info including my xstartup file and some logs: Here's how it goes for me: *********************************************************************** [EMAIL PROTECTED] .vnc]$ vncserver New 's02.intranet.aionent.net:1 (chris)' desktop is s02.intranet.aionent.net:1 Starting applications specified in /home/chris/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/chris/.vnc/s02.intranet.aionent.net:1.log [EMAIL PROTECTED] .vnc]$ ps -aux | grep vnc chris 2846 0.1 1.1 8564 5748 pts/0 S 10:03 0:00 Xvnc :1 -desktop s02.intranet.aionent.net:1 (chris) -httpd /usr/share/vnc/classes -auth /home/chris/.Xauthority -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -rfbwait 30000 -rfbauth /home/chris/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -pn *****************xstartup is:********************************** [EMAIL PROTECTED] .vnc]$ cat ./xstartup #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc xrdb $HOME/.Xresources # xsetroot -solid grey #vncconfig -iconic & #xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & gnome-start & [EMAIL PROTECTED] .vnc]$ **************log after attempting VNC login from windows XP box:************************* [EMAIL PROTECTED] .vnc]$ cat ./s02.intranet.aionent.net:1.log Xvnc version 4.0b4 - built Sep 5 2003 13:04:00 Underlying X server release 40300000, The XFree86 Project, Inc Sat Apr 24 10:03:16 2004 vncext: VNC extension running! vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5901 vncext: Listening for HTTP connections on port 5801 vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! xrdb: No such file or directory xrdb: can't open file '/home/chris/.Xresources' /home/chris/.vnc/xstartup: line 11: gnome-start: command not found Sat Apr 24 10:07:50 2004 Connections: accepted: 192.168.0.13::3679 SConnection: Client needs protocol version 3.3 Sat Apr 24 10:07:53 2004 Client: Server default pixel format depth 16 (16bpp) little-endian rgb565 Client: Client pixel format depth 8 (8bpp) bgr233 Sat Apr 24 10:11:14 2004 Connections: closed: 192.168.0.13::3679 (Clean disconnection) SMsgWriter: framebuffer updates 436 SMsgWriter: ZRLE rects 872, bytes 21015 SMsgWriter: raw bytes equivalent 1018464, compression ratio 48.463669 [EMAIL PROTECTED] .vnc]$ _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
