Problems using TightVNC in Slackware
Hey guys,
I did a quick search, and couldn't find anything specific enough to the problem I've been having. I've been using RedHat linux for several years now, and I've used TightVNC to do remote desktop work in GNOME. I haven't upgraded for years, and just recently I got a new machine and decided to go with Slackware.
I just downloaded Slackware (11/15/2005) and now I'm having all sorts of problems. The gui that Slackware seems to have defaulted to is KDE, which is fine, but I can't get TightVNC working with it. I've gotten it working with other flavors of linux, but in Slackware it says the following:
Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path.
Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script.
I checked the perl script that I have in /usr/local/bin, called vncserver. It says
unix/:7100 where the font is supposed to be set?!
Anyway, I tried various setting likes /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi, and it's still not working. I have no idea why Slackware doesn't seem to like Tightvnc, and I was hoping maybe someone on here has a solution or an alternative for me to remote desktop from a WinXP machine to my Linux box.
Thanks in advance,
Tony
