How can I get RealVNC to run? When I am at my server I
checked that vnc is

active using KDE, when I go to the workstation connecting

to the server I

use ssh to start VNC (Doesn't make sense) "$ vncserver "

then it gives me

the display properties "server name : display number"

(snoopy: 1). Ok

getting connected no problem but then I sit with a

terminal window and not
KDE. I can then just as well use ssh.
any suggestions
Chris
You need to edit the .vnc/xstartup commands for the user
Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup For KDE, replace "twm &" with "startkde &" For Gnome, replace "twm &" with "exec gnome-session &" Kill any existing VNC servers with "vncserver -kill :xxx"
where xxx is the
display number.
Start a new server.

Where can I find the .vnc/xstartup file, I donot get it.
Try
$ gedit ~/.vnc/xstartup
or
$ vim ~/.vnc/xstartup

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

read the full command.

He did not say  $  vim  /.vnc/xstartup

He did say    $ vim ~/.vnc/xstartup
