I am having trouble getting tightvnc to start with Fedora
8. I installed tightvnc from an rpm file then added the following lines
to /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
VNCSERVERS="1:vncuser"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1024x768"
When I try to start the service it complains something about the font path
as shown in the console output below.
Thanks in advance for your help!
root@nsite-tp-6 sysconfig]# service vncserver start
