Hello,

I hope you can help, as google et. al have proved unable to!

I am running VNC4.0 on Solaris 8 (2/04), via inetd. My inetd.conf line is thus:
vnc-1152x864x24 stream tcp nowait root /space/tools/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 1152x864 -depth 24 -SecurityTypes=None -desktop="baltar-Sol8" -fp tcp/baltar:7100


I can start a session via vncviewer, and get the CDE login prompt. I can enter a username & password, but then the VNCviewer window simply disappears. vncviewer informs me "end of stream" and nothing else. I've looked at /var/dt/Xerrors:
/usr/openwin/bin/xset: bad font path element (#38), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
Warning: Null child found in argumnet list to unmanage
dtlogin: recieved signal 11

This indicates CDE, which services your login is quitting, its not vnc to blame for this, Xvnc just quits because it is instructed to do so by dtlogin.


I don't think the fontpath is the problem, better look at the warning.

Success,

I've looked at the font path from xset -q, and all the dirs exist and contain a fonts.dir. I've modified them all to be 777, so permissions should be fine (they have 7x5 all the way down the path). I guess I'm seeing dtlogin dying, but I've no idea why - where do I need to be looking?


Thanks for your help,

Alasdair Ferro.
