I can connect, but the picture is so bad, it's not possible to work like that. The Desktop sharing was using something called VINO on Fedora 10, haven't looked at what Fedora 11 does with that. I use the regular vncserver. Logged in as the user I run vncserver :port (colon port). Example: vncserver :50 That would load a vncserver session using port 5950 The first time it will prompt for a password for the vnc, and will create the .vnc directory and the xstartup file. Then I edit the xstartup file and uncomment the two lines. Then I have to kill the vncserver, and run it again to have the correct desktop connect. I then edit the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file to start the vncserver session on startup for that user on that port.. Also have to set the server to start under services. Then the session is automatcially started on boot up, and I can log into the machine using vncviewer IPaddress:port . > > > -----Original Message----- > From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael D.
