You should use instead of ./Xvnc

it gives me this

# ./vncserver
./vncserver: not found
#
remember i did not configure it b/c i did not now howto do that.

my vnc is in


# # pwd
/usr/local/bin

# ls -l
total 3338
-rwxrwxrwx 1 bin bin 1526336 Mar 13 2001 Xvnc

Hi Guys

I am able to remove last error .it was b/c i did not have perl in /usr/local/bin/perl,now it placed it there this time i am getting new error

# perl vncserver
vncserver: couldn't find "xauth" on your PATH.

so i locate xauth and place in my path



# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/openwin/bin/xauth

But i still get the same error

The PATH variable must contain directories, not commands.
The correct PATH is your case should then be:

Thanks Allot jlliagre

This time it works

# ./vncserver

You will require a password to access your desktops.

Password:
Verify:

But one last problem when i try to connect from my winXp machine by RealVNC viewer it says FAIL TO CONNECT.Am i missing some thing.

Regard
Talat

Perhaps are you using a wrong server id (0 vs 1) ?

I did not get it

how can i check that

How are you telling your vnc client you want to connect to the Solaris box ?

Hi jlliagre

Sorry for the late reply.
As usuall i simply tell Real VNC client the ip of my Solaris box.


Regard
Talat

Run in the solaris box to see what is the correct display number (something like :1) and then configure your client to use that display number, e.g.

Hi bathory

Thanks for the reply


# ps -ef | grep Xvnc
root 329 1 0 02:54:37 pts/1 0:00 Xvnc :1 -desktop X -httpd /usr/lo cal/vnc/classes -auth //.Xauthority -geometry
root 345 310 0 02:58:05 pts/1 0:00 grep Xvnc

Should i run following cmd on my Solarris machine.Consider 192.168.1.1 is my box ip.

#vncviewer 192.168.1.1:1

Or you want me to configure VNC viewer on my XP machine

Regard
Talat

OK bathory

i got it.I tryed to give ip on vncclient 192.168.1.1:1

and it works.

Thanks allot to all those who help me in this .I am realy greatfull to you guys.Thanks once again.

Here is the mistake.
As I wrote, and bathory pointed out too, this is implying a server id 0, while yours is 1, append ":1" to the Solaris IP in the connection dialog.

Yes jlliagre

i got it.Thanks once again.
