Alan: Starting vncserver doesn't start the "0" server, but the "1" one, thus, the port it opens is "5901", not "5900", as I show it here: [imoq@imoqland imoq]$ vncserver New 'X' desktop is imoqland.office.mx:1 Starting applications specified in /home/imoq/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/imoq/.vnc/imoqland.office.gob.mx:1.log [imoq@imoqland imoq]$ telnet localhost 5900 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused [imoq@imoqland imoq]$ telnet localhost 5901 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. RFB 003.003 So, yes, I am able to connect remotely to the computer, but I am unable to continue the session already in there (via console), not the vnc session, but the one which I was working before. Any idea? Thank you again for your help. Alex. -- ¡Sé libre, usa software libre!
