Hey, all... some more information regarding my VNC problem. Here's the
script I wrote to start the VNC server on my Fedora box:
vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -localhost
vncconfig -nowin
and here's what I get when I do that:
[john "at" slave1 john_old]$ ./vserver
New 'slave1:1 (john)' desktop is slave1:1
Starting applications specified in /home/john/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/john/.vnc/slave1:1.log
vncconfig: unable to open display ""
I think the last time I used VNC I may have been using Core 4 or 5 (I
tend to skip versions <G>)
I just tried telnetting to 127.0.0.1 5901 and didn't get anything,
which leads me to believe that 1) VNC is not running on the linux box
(PS says it is) or 2)I didn't set my tunnel up right.
Any ideas where I went wrong?
