HI all,
i am configuring VNC server in CentOS 5.1. i have enables this two
lines in /etc/sysconfig/vncserver file
VNCSERVERS="2:vnc"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1024x768 -depth 24"
here i have created a user vnc and set the password using vncpasswd cmd.
then i started the vncserver
# vncserver
New 'localhost.localdomain:1 (gopinath)' desktop is
localhost.localdomain:1
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/localhost.localdomain:1.log
The above message was displayed about executing vncserver command. no OK
status was displayed.
then i used cmd
vncviewer localhost.localdomain:5901
it prompted for the passwd i gave the password then
it started vncviewer but in that only cursor is displayed which can be
moved. but no GUI display.
Please help me on this if any one knows i am still a beginner to linux

According to this, you are starting a server on port 5901 for a user "gopinath" who appears to be root?>then i used cmd > > vncviewer localhost.localdomain:5901 > >it prompted for the passwd i gave the password then > >it started vncviewer but in that only cursor is displayed which can be >moved. but no GUI display. > >Please help me on this if any one knows i am still a beginner to linuxYou need to uncomment the two lines it says to uncomment in the file: vi ~/.vnc/xstartup Good luck, jlc _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Hello, Make sure that the vncserver service is start or not. using #service vncserver status if it returns stop then start vncserver service. #service vncserver start use command #vncserver localhost initially no need to mention port number. By default configuration, it runs well no need to set any thing anywhere. but, if still having some problem then, try to reinstall it. #yum remove vnc #yum install vnc and then start the service. *Thanks and Regards, Kapil Singh Kushwah Linux System Administrator Hotwax Media Inc.
