Hello,
I have a FC3 system with VNC server installed, but without X. Doesn't work.
Oops. Opening the port helps. But for some reason every time I do
"service iptables restart" it says "Unloading iptables moduels
[FAILED]".
I don't mind installing X, but it seems . . . difficult to do it after
the fact. The dependencies on the RPMs don't seem helpful. Noteably:
# rpm -ivh xinitrc-4.0.14-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg is needed by xinitrc-4.0.14-1.noarch
/usr/X11R6/bin/xsetroot is needed by xinitrc-4.0.14-1.noarch
which is needed by xinitrc-4.0.14-1.noarch
I don't seem to have a package called "" :-)
I'd still like to know why this is.
Well, first off, the last line is looking for the "which" program
("/usr/bin/which").
Second, if you don't have X, why install VNC server? VNC server's sole
purpose is to export an X desktop so that a VNC client can see it. No
X, no reason to share a desktop (which doesn't exist without X anyway).
Just sticking my oar in here. I'll go away now.
