Hi,
Thanks for such a fast response. I typed vncserver at the command line
and it asked me for a password. It said I would require password to
enter the desktop. I did not set any before so gave some dummy password.
It again showed Verify and I typed the same password again. Then the
screen showed something like
for user padmaja, the startup script is in /home/padmaja/.vnc/Xstartup
the startup applications are in /home/padmaja/.vnc/Xstartup
the log file is in /home/padmaja/.vnc/sipserver.com.log
After this I typed ps aux and saw that there is a Xvnc running againt
pid 11435.
Now, I tried to connect to the Centos PC from Windows using Vnc client
and it gave the error
"unable to connect to host: connection refused (10061)."
I cant understand what the issue is. I am however able to connect to
Windows PCs from VNC on windows.
Vncserver creates separate desktops for each instance and should have
given you a 'screen number" when you started it - probably :1 for the
first one. Then you have to specify the matching screen when you
connect from the client: hostname:1. If you have the firewall running
on Centos, you have to permit the appropriate port in ( 5900 + screen
number). If you are expecting to access the desktop running on the
console you need a different approach. KDE and Gnome have 'screen
sharing' options for the running desktop.
