[LINUX] [NEWBIE] Little thing, took me awhile to figure out.

[Dennis Veatch]

Ok, there are times when my light bulb does not burn to brightly. Cannot get
KDE to run via vncserver. Here is what the log says when starting it up:

_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
kwm: cannot connect to X server feedme.kuther.net:1
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
kpanel: cannot connect to X server feedme.kuther.net:1
kwmsound: cannot connect to X server feedme.kuther.net:1
krootwm: cannot connect to X server feedme.kuther.net:1
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
kbgndwm: cannot connect to X server feedme.kuther.net:1
kfm: cannot connect to X server feedme.kuther.net:1


If I use twm, vncclient loads up fine, ie, got the gray background with the
term window.

I have changed the last entry in xstartup for root and the user to
'/usr/bin/kde &'.
