We had some unusual problems when running a vncserver on Solaris that
included blank screens, and failure to start a vncserver.
The problem is fixed by changing the permissions on some files in the tmp
directory.
> ls -la /tmp/.X11*
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 104 Nov 13 18:28 .X11-pipe/
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 104 Nov 13 18:28 .X11-unix/
these are a problem because all users do not have permission to modify these
directories.
fix the problem as the root user:
cd /tmp
chmod 777 .X11*
Note that this has to be done each time the machine is booted as these files
are in the /tmp directory which gets deleted on startup.
I believe that these directories are used by more applications than
vncserver, but by default they appear to be created without permissions for
everyone to modify them.
