Hi,
I've also some "problems" with my vncserver.
It would be great if someone could please explain in short words, how all this xvnc, vncserver, vncconnect and vncpasswd work together!
On windows it is easier to install a vnc server, just run the setup.exe and set a password anywhere... but here are some config-files around the filesystem and I do not have a plan where I can do something.
My current status:
Installed Mandriva Linux 2006 x86_64, told him to install this thightvnc server package and to start it as a service, so there is a /etc/init.d/vncserver, which should be started at bootup (there are also [KS][0-9][0-9]vncserver files in /etc/rc.d/rc[1-6].d).
If I do a "ps ax | grep vnc" via ssh I can't see a process with vnc.
Also executed this vncserver binary, and it asked me to type in some passwords, which I did. After that there is a process like this:
Code:
3497 pts/0 S 0:00 Xvnc :1 -desktop X -httpd /usr/share/vnc/classes -auth /root/.Xauthority -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -fp unix/:-1
Then I try to access to this vncserver from my windows box, but no success (with dualcore:1, which is the hostname where this vncserver should run): vncviewer.exe runs in windows taskmanager, I can see a open connection with netstat on both machines, but I do not see any vncviewer.exe-window where I could do something. So I have to kill it manually.
So please give me an advise how to get my vncserver working! Thanks!
[EDIT]
just saw that there is a logfile in /root/.vnc.

so the last three lines are not so good... any idea how to fix it?
