More: I changed the session for root to :2. That boots up and starts vncserver with no errors (and I can log in remotely just fine). This being a new installation, I have only one other account. I seem to recall initially trying to set up vncserver for this account, though there was no .vnc directory in this users home account. Anyway, I ran vncserver for this account, and it responded as if this were the first time it was run, and assigned it session :1. I added this to /etc/sysconfig/vncservers. The system continues to start Xvnc successfully at startup, but it only returns a successful start for :2, not :1, and I cannot remote in on :1. I can work with this, as I have it working on :2, and can probably set up additional sessions. But I hate unsolved mysteries, especially when it comes to my computers. So I wish I could figure out what is wrong with vnc on :1. --- Basil Copeland <blcjr@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > --- Joshua Andrews <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Sounds like an old lock on :1. > > Have you tried `vncserver -kill :1` > > > > Yes, I've tried that.
