Starting the server in Fedora

[John Aldrich]

Make sure you have a .vnc/xstartup something like this:

#!/bin/sh

# Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

The above is taken from my RedHat 9 box, but it ought to be similar. I'm
guessing you're talking about not having a window manager on the linux box
from your description.

Subject: Starting the server in Fedora


Hi

 

I try to control a Linux Fedora core 2 from winXP. I installed the
viewer on the XP, and started the vncserver on the Linux from a terminal
window. It works, but all I get is the ability to open terminal windows
without access to the GUI.

 

I tried marking v on the VNCserver tab in the system configuration but
it didn't help. (I see there that XVNC is stopped. I tried to start it
with Xvnc command in a terminal window and I get fatal error - no screen
found).

 

Thanks for your help

Yigal
