how to start tightvnc? 10.0

Skuggi · 10-18-2005, 08:28 PM

I installed the tightVNC from yast on SuSE 10.0 which i have used before on windows, I cant find where it installed it too or how to start it? Anyone able to point me as to where I can find it installed and how to get it started? I need to be able to reset a server I have running on the box from work though it will only freeze up every few weeks for some reason.

Thanks a ton!

Tom.

I'm not using tightVNC but to find the location of where the app is installed you should be able to open the terminal and type whereis tightVNC .

Hope this helps....

Or you can simply try a rpm -ql tightvnc which will list all the files installed by Yast. You will be able to find the executable of tightvnc (most of the time in /usr/bin). You can just try a tightvnc in a terminal...

found a couple places where it says it is, not in user/bin though its in usr/x11r6/bin still cant get it to run, damn , need to try and get something setup, do either of you use vnc if so how does vnc work for you and it comes pre-installed on suse 10 right? Sorry i'm like a half n00b, i know enough to get myself into trouble lol. but i do really want to learn to use linux like a pro.
