VNC not working with Gnome

king_scott_2 · 08-29-2005, 11:58 PM

I have replaced twm & with gnome-session to try and get gnome up with VNC. Now no window maneger works at all (please note startkde worked.)

The following is what I get when I try and run gnome-session from within the terminal window displayed.

[48276@sgc-linux ~]$ gnome-session
SESSION_MANAGER=local/xxxxxxxxx.nsw.edu.au:/tmp/.ICE-unix/1354

** (gnome-session:1354): WARNING **: Esound failed to start.

It has been on that for a good 10 minutes now

I don't think twm should be messed with, this is what a good xstartup w/ gnome looks like.

Code:

#!/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" &
twm &
