[CentOS] Vncserver not serving up my gnome desktop, just a fancy terminal!
I have the vncserver running on CentOS 4, but when I log in using vncviewer from another box, I don't see my gnome desktop, just a fancy terminal. I suspect I need to edit the ~/.vnc "xstartup file, but what do I add to fix this. On all other distros I have tried, the vncserver serves up my gnome desktop by default. -- Lee Parmeter Emperor, linXos - The Flying Penguin http://www.linXos.com Linux Registered User #337161 'It's free.

I figured this one out, just comment out everything in ~/.vnc/xstartup then add: gnome-session & Lee --- Lee Parmeter <leejpar at yahoo.com> wrote:> I have the vncserver running on CentOS 4, but when I log > in > using vncviewer from another box, I don't see my gnome > desktop, just a fancy terminal.

The is rejected. Tried vncviewer using hostname:0 per documentation. So, I am now wondering what else needs to be done to enable remote connects to succeed. I did configure the "remote desktop" settings per discussion in the thread. I would just use the standard Xvnc and hostname:1, which is working, but when I login via vncviewer I am unable to do any root configuration via gnome. In other distros, I have not had this problem. I run my file server without a monitor, so I need full access to root settings from gnome just like I have when logged in non-root using a monitor and keyboard.
