Hi folks. I would be MOST appreciative if someone could kindly steer me in the right direction. I have been trying to find a way to make VNC remotely control a remote Linux machine (from my Linux box) in the same manner as it can control a Windows client [... ie, I'd like to connect directly to another Linux machine and see and manipulate exactly what my user is seeing at that moment (as well as have him or her seeing exactly what I'm doing)]. I know there is a KDE tool called krfb which does this very nicely but given the choice I'd rather use the more standard VNC tools if possible. [For one thing it gives me the opportunity to run VNC a little while after the user has invited me. I also believe VNC or Tightvnc might be more efficient].
I have experimented and experimented but to no avail. Does this functionality exist for Linux? Do I need to install another application (or another version of VNC)? Do I need to alter my vnc/.xstartup or load up a vnc module? I am currently running Fedora Core 1 & Fedora Core 2 and my vnc/.startup is the vanilla version (although I have attempted many configurations for this file) ... ie => cat /home/jcurcio/.vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & twm & One last thing ... I'm a little rusty on my X11-speak so please break things down a little for me in this regard so as to be sure I'm on the right page ;-) Thanks VERY much for your time. :-) John C -- If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!
