I have vncserver running on fc3 opening a Xfce4 session, after a fashion. What is not working right is it loading automatically at startup. vncserver is checked in the system-config-services applet. But at startup, it fails with the message
vnc server is already runing as :1
I get that message with /etc/sysconfig/vncservers loading
VNCSERVERS="1:root"
If I comment this out, there is no "FAILED" notice starting vncserver at startup, but Xvnc doesn't actually start.
In either case, once started up, and logged in as root, I can run "vncserver" and starts a vnc session for root, and I can remotely log in with an Xfce4 desktop.
So what is causing vncserver to think it is already running as :1?
I'm sure I messed up a configuration file somewhere along the line getting to this point. But I cannot figure out which, or how to fix this problem.
TIA.
Sounds like an old lock on :1. Have you tried `vncserver -kill :1`
