I guess I am really having a hard time setting up VNC on
F8 as I had successfully done on FC4.
I had followed the notes contained in this link:
_http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2005-March/049889.html
Seems that I am was able to connect to the vnc-server sockets
but then after a time, I started getting a Tight-Vnc error:
ReadExact: Socket error while reading.
The reason I liked this specific setup was that I was able to choose
the specific screen sizes I'd like and that this Vnc server was always
available as sockets.
I did try to use the VncServer setup 'out of the box' but I was having
problems figuring how to make it work so I went back to the way I
did it on FC4.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to the proper way
to set up VNC servers for F8?
1. stick to realvnc. tightvnc collapses when switching to/from
fullscreen (several distros) (I forget which direction).
2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers to taste. The 2 in VNCSERVERARGS[2] is
the screen number (2) in VNCSERVERS="2:myusername"
More generally, to find configuration files
rpm -qc <package>
and documentation
rpm -qd <package>
and for more rpm magic
rpm -qd rpm
