ed.... vnc uses a startup file 'xstartup' to determine which user shell/session is displayed. it can be found in the /home/user/.vnc/ dir of whoever you are who did the vncserver command to start vnc. here's what it looks like.... -------------------------------------- [root@lserver2 wc]# cat /root/.vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & gnome-session & #twm & -------------------------------------------------------- to run gnome you need the line that says 'gnome-session &', and you comment out the line below 'twn &' you simply make the chnage, and then run 'vncserver' and the changes take effect. make sure you use the correct port number as each time you run vncserver, the port number can be incremented.. have fun... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ed Greshko Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2005 4:58 PM To: Sarfraz Rustam; General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: need help about VNC Sarfraz Rustam wrote: > Hi ; > > I have a problem regarding to VNC ; I started the VNC server on linux > machine and try to acces it from windows but i can only get the x > window session not GRAPHICAL desktop; > What parameters i have to change to get graphical desktop; The file you need to modify is ~/.vnc/xstartup.
