Hi all,

I am not a UNIX admin, but I play an application admin on a unix host
daily...

I am attempting to get VNC up and running on a Solaris 8 box (SunOS xxxxx
5.8 Generic_117350-28 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880) in order to allow our
'help desk' folks access to the app without having to setup unix accounts.

I have searched the archives as best I could and could not find a good
match to my issue.

I have installed VNC 4.1.2 into /opt/vnc...

xstartup:
#!/bin/sh

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/X/bin
export PATH
/usr/dt/bin/Xsession

I am able to export a display to my Windows XP host, running Exceed... but
only get the 'grey' screen via the VNC client.

Since I am able to export and get a term via Exceed, doesn't this mean
everything should be fuctional for VNC to work?

Yeap VNC is working...

Any help on what I might be missing here?


X-Windows session configuration. vnc is doing what you expect it to...
Unfortunately, X-Windows isn't.

Look into what the command "/usr/dt/bin/Xsession"
is doing...
Being a linux guy, and not having a solaris to play with,
can't help you much more than pointing where to look...


Jerry
Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Ray

I hope im reading this correctly... I know way back when I first used VNC on Linux I could get to the server and connect and I would just get an XWindows screen and console but I wanted the actual gnome desktop.

  1. Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup
  2. For KDE, replace "twm &" with "startkde &"
  3. For Gnome, replace "twm &" with "exec gnome-session &"
4. Kill any existing VNC servers with "vncserver -kill :xxx" where xxx is the display number.
  5. Start a new server.

And this is what I had to do to get gnome working of course this shows gnome or kde but maybe this is something similar to what you are getting or need to do to get your specific desktop to load? Sorry best advice I can give from what I'm reading.
