running vnc server on linux server

[John Aldrich]

Actually, all you SHOULD have to do is make sure it looks something like
this (from Fedora Core 3):
#!/bin/sh

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

That should be good enough, unless you don't have a GUI configured to run
locally on the linux box.

Hello Johnathon,
You will have to modify the xstartup file which is available in your .vnc
directory.
>From your home directory you have to change to .vnc directory
You will have to edit xstartup file you will have twm &

Change it to one 

 gnome-session &     [ for Gnome  ]

        or

 start-kde &         [ for kde   ]

TWM - twm &   [ remove this line ]

You need to logout and login to get graphical window

Regards,
Manjunath M

Hello

A newbie question

I am wanting to manage my linux server remotely using vnc.

I have installed and started vnc on my linux server

I use vnc viewer on my desktop pc and get connected to the linux vnc server 
fine.

What I see though is a console window in my viewer.

What I want to see is the Graphical desktop from the server

Any guidance will be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Johnathon
