VNC viewers: unexpected problem.
I installed VNC in fedora 6 via yum.
The server seems to be working fine. service vncserver start, no errors. I opened port 5801, no problem. Now, I want to connect via Windows Vista or XP. I have downloaded: RealVNC TightVNC UltraVNC With the 3 I can connect but ... With RealVNC: After it gets connected, the window goes to the tray and nothing happens. With TightVNC: It shows Status: Connection Stablished. And nothing happens. (The password prompt neve comes). With UltraVNC: After connection, it keeps loading: Negotiate Protocol Version... Fianlly I tried a web based sofware: http://www.s-code.com/products/viewe...vncviewer.aspx And also I failed. The thing is that I can connect to thr server, indeed. But nothing happens. Any IDEA ?? Note: I have disabled Norton Security. I have tried from PC without Norton, nor firewall of any kind. |

What do the serverside logs say? What user account do you use? Did you configure VNC access and view-only passwords? |
Hi, I've gone a little further, now I can get into the server, but:
When the session starts, I only get this: an all gray background in the VNC Window with three selection boxes: X Accept clipboard from viewers X Send clipboard to viewers X Send primary selection to viewers This is the log when I run the server: Sat Sep 29 14:37:10 2007 vncext: VNC extension running! vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5901 vncext: Listening for HTTP connections on port 5801 vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 Could not init font path element /usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF/, removing from list!

Thanks. |
I fixed it. I installed xterm and twm.

Hi I have the exact same problem in my Trixbox with CentoS 5 running an ratpoison as window manager...
May you please specify more how did you resolve the trouble. I had the same grey screen with the options listed...and also same logs Thanks a lot Quote:

SELinux may be the culprit
I had exactly the same error message. It was driving me crazy until I realized that SELinux was set to Enforcing mode with evidently no rule to allow vncserver. I set SELinux to Permissive, then rebooted and it worked perfectly.
