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
