Problem running RealVNC server

duzap · 06-10-2008, 12:25 PM

I am trying to run RealVNC server on Fedora Core 5

I ran the install script called 'vncinstall' with the following command
"./vncinstall /usr/local/bin"
as mentioned in the README file

this was the result:

Xvnc hasn't changed
Xvnc.man hasn't changed
vncviewer hasn't changed
vncviewer.man hasn't changed
vncpasswd hasn't changed
vncpasswd.man hasn't changed
vncconfig hasn't changed

Updating /etc/pam.d/vncserver
Looking for font path... not found.
Looking for RGB database... assuming /usr/share/X11/rgb.
Checking for single sign-on support... Not found

seems like an error, what should I do then?

this is not an error. It means that vncinstall was previously ran and there i sno need to create/edit the necessary files.
Did you try to run vncserver to see if it starts?

Well already succeed to install VNC.
but now I have another problem when I run it:

Code:

[root@server ~]# vncserver :1

Check the vncserver script to see if the $fontPath refers to the correct location of fonts in your system.

I searched for a solution to this for ages: No result

Workaround was to uninstall realvnc and then install the vnc4server and xvnc4viewer packages. They work fine.

you should not be running vncserver as root !
