Hi All,
I set up and have VNC running between two of my Ubuntu machines, but there is one tiny little problem that kinda makes things difficult.

It appears that I have to have been logged into the target machine before I can connect. If I'm not logged in, no connection. Anyway around this?

Thanks

Well done
Of course:
On my "server" I start an instance of vnc at boot. That way, I can always connect to my "server desktop" from another pc. It works like this:

On my server I have added the lines
to the end of the file /etc/rc.local but before the exit(0) line!

So when the server boots, it starts a desktop for me (tredegar) on :1
Then then I can remotely connect to it with this:
I then created a desktop link to application (Make this "Run in terminal" - because I have to provide a password for vnc in that terminal)

One click, give PW, and I'm connected to my server desktop. Sweet
You are fixed now?

Way cool. I'll have to check that out and give it a try. Thanks a ton!
