From: "Dotan Cohen" <dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx> >Thanks. I just returned home and wanted to play with the vnc. The >start command didn't work: >[root@localhost ~]# service vncserver status >Xvnc is stopped >[root@localhost ~]# service vncserver start >Starting VNC server: [ OK ] >[root@localhost ~]# service vncserver status >Xvnc is stopped >[root@localhost ~]# As root # /etc/init.d/vncserver start Starting VNC server: [ OK ] Then as a normal user : $ cd ~ $ vncserver New 'localhost:1 (danny)' desktop is localhost:1 Starting applications specified in /home/danny/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/danny/.vnc/localhost:1.log Now you can connect. But you will found out the grey screen problem soon. So edit file: ~/.vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: #unset SESSION_MANAGER #exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startkde & Assuming you want kde as desktop. Have fun. Danny.
