RealVNC


Hi
I am using Fedora Core 1 with KDE on a network machine. I want to VNC to the machine and startx. But an annoying program called desktop sharing pops up on the Linux box asking if I want to allow a remote connection. As I'm not there this is a problem! Any way to disable this program?
Or perhaps there is a better way to start a remote X session on a local desktop?

That is just the program wrapper that calls vncserver. You can simply start
vncserver at the command line.
vncserver --help

Thumbs up

Ok I seemed to have solved the problem. The desktop sharing utility is included in the Kde network package. the version I was using was quite old. I eventually managed to install the latest 3.2.2 version after doing a --nodeps. This was because of Ksirc dependancies that I could not satisfy!
I now have more options supplied in the desktop sharing utility namely the ability to allow a remote connection without having to authorize it at the host machine
Now if the host machine is running X I can use realvnc on my windows machine to connect it and navigate around the desktop as though I was sat at the machine.
I'm happy now
