Could somebody help me to install VNC in REDHAT8.0, please?
I downloaded the linux version, extract it into /usr/local/bin accoriding to readme file. Then at the command level as a root user I started with the following command:
vncserver :2
I got the messages like vncserver started, but when I try to access from a windows computer (via vncviewer) I getting only command mode screens, no GNOME or KDE desktop.
what is a "command mode screen"? if you are connecting to a vnc server then it is impossible to not get an X session in some state or another. you'll need to load a window manager inside the vnc x server, add the oen you want to ~/.vnc/xstartup
sorry, that's just not possible. a vnc client has to connect to a vnc server, i.e. Xvnc. it's not possbile to connect to a standard console with vnc. do you have any error messages or anything else to go on?
You are probably using twm or similar, try clicking with the mouse, you should get a menu. It is a gui, just a very basic one. If you want to change which gui you use for VNC, edit the file mentioned above to se your windowmanager.
This is what I found, looking on Google. Applied it, it worked fine.
I now have a Gnome session through VNC. Cool!

If you would like to see gnome rather than TWM, then change your ~/.vnc/xstartup to contain "exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" instead.

~ stands for your home directory from which you started vncserver :2
I still have to work on starting Xvnc from inetd. If anybody has tips, I would appreciate.

Help with Installing VNC
Hello everyone,
I've been running into a problem installing VNC on my Linux box. I go to VNC's site and download the TAR file. However,I'm having problems installing it from there. I'm new to Linux and I need help installing it. Could someone walk me through it, please? Thanks.
it will be the same as 99% of other apps. check http://wwwacs.gantep.edu.tr/linux/rute/ for a good beginners guide. and VNC's great manpage for information about acutally loading it.

Thanks,
But I guess what I'm asking is, I'm new to Linux, how to you install and execute a TAR file? I've done it with Zip file with windows but it hasn't been that easy with TAR files. Can you tell me how to do this, please? Thanks.
