VNC and RedHat 9
Hi All,
I'm running vnc 3.3.6 on my RH 9 box but when i connect from a win pc all i get is a terminal and no Gnome desktop. i have run vncviewer with -shared still no go!! what am i missing? Please help Thanks Kev H.A.N.D |
VNC doesn't pay any attention to what graphic environment you usually use, and by default it uses twm, which is a horrible environment. To change it, you need to open your ~/.vnc/xstartup file in a text editor. Find the line that has twm & on it and either delete it or comment it out. Then add the gnome startup command (be sure to add the & after it) and save. When you start vncserver the next time, it should be using Gnome.

Hi, all...I have a problem which may consider stupid, but i feel unsecure about this one and i hope you can explain to me.
when I try to change the password on winvnc(server), and then after that i open the server again, it is still the old password that appear, the password did not change. What i am trying to ask here is: How to change the password? I am using windows XP service pack 1. if I can change the password, maybe I will try to install it to my Red Hat 9, otherwise I wont feel secure with this winVNC. Hope you can help me with this stupid question, greatly appreciate it , Thanks :) |
I don't know about windows, but at least on Linux, there is a vncpasswd command that lets you change it. If that isn't working in windows, I suppose you could find the file that stores the password and delete it.
By the way, it is kind of poor form to hijack a thread with your own question, particularly since your question is not really related to the one in the original post. You stand a much better chance of getting an answer if you post your own thread. |
I,m running XP with Realvnc 3.3.7 and have no problems changing the password.
you could try running settings from the XP command line cd to vnc server dir and run winvnc.exe -settings if you still have a problem I would say you need to do the old Microsoft fix - reinstall vnc ____________________ H.A.N.D |
Guys, i need some help running vnc....How do you run vnc on RH9? where do i go to execute this command?

cd to the dir that the vncserver program is in and run it.
./vncserver will tell you "New 'X' desktop is servername:1" to connect to wombatz |
