Hi ,I have vnc server 4.1 installed in server and setup /root/.vnc/xstartup and /etc/sysconfig/vncservers as below.
/root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
xhost +localhost +'hostname'
[ -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" &
# twm &
# startkde &
startx &
------------------
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers
# VNCSERVERS="2:myusername"
VNCSERVERS="1:root"
# VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600 -nolisten tcp -nohttpd -localhost -depth -16"

# VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800x600"
# -nolisten tcp -nohttpd -localhost -depth -16"
------------
then started Vncserver :1
---------
now i tried connecting to this server by vnc vnc viwer from my windows Vista machine..But only getting blank screen without a terminal window or anything opened.
Please note that ,my current rulvel is 3 only .

Anys solutions.

Hmm I would not do that. Starting X with vnc as root is not a good idea.

You should do that as an unprivileged user and use for example gksudo/sudo because otherwise there are security issues.
IMHO best practice would be starting the administrative programs you need with ssh like:
which calls the packet management of an Ubuntu system.


If you use Windows you could use putty and Xming to do that.
Xming is here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
fire it up as X server (accept all incoming connections)

putty is here

install them then type in a dos prompt:
you'll get that on your Windows Desktop.
If you need further information feel free to post again.
