I'm still getting the same old crapy black screen. This has ***got*** be a
bug let me tell you.
BTW, this is the default xstartup script (which looks nothing like yours)
that I get when starting vncserver when no xstartup file is present in the
/home/user/.vnc folder:
#!/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 &
#xstartup end
When I use this rank default xstartup script I get an almost equally useless
green box with a cli. I would love to someday have a useable - and reliable
gnome desktop and not a waste of screen real-estate.
Any other ideas? Perhaps a more reliable way to situate the xstartup script
so that I can use gnome?
Thanks,
Karen

I'm just using the default:
#!/bin/sh
# Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
xstartup (END)
'Course, I also have a script that I wrote to help get the session running
the way I like it...
vncserver -depth 16bpp -geometry 1024x768 -nevershared -localhost

Hi, here is my xstartup file:
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
vncconfig -nowin
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 &
Everything else is stock. What does your xstartup file look like?

I am running Fedora Core 3 and do not have that problem myself, even
though
I use a script with a similar command to kill my VNC server. I can stop
and
restart my VNC server as frequently as I like, and not have a problem.
Maybe
a configuration error, but not a bug with VNC or Fedora as best I can
tell.

Hi James,
I stop the vncserver like this:
vncserver -kill :1
and then when I restart vncserver I get the fun (not) black box. What
makes
this odd though is it's not every time but enough to get highly annoying.
This has got to be a bug with VNC or FCx, or both, considering I had the
identical problem with FC3.

Karen,
That looks like what you'll get if you log out of KDE or Gnome, but
don't
in
fact kill your VNC server at all. How are you killing the VNC server?

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Hi list,
ever since I've started using Fedora core 3 (and now Core 4),
I've had this
frustrating issue with VNC. Every time I need to kill the
vncserver, when I
restart it I get this crazy unusable black box with an "X"
for a cursor
(ala: http://tinypic.com/adyuxl.png )
My "work-around" has been to delete the .vnc/ directory and
start anew which
is a pain in the butt let me tell you!
So why is this happening? It never happened on BSD, so why now on FC4?
Please help!
Karen
