Thanks Frank. The below in fact worked and restarting the service. Jerry To get mate to show up use the follow text in your ~.vnc/xstartup file: #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r HOME/.Xresources ]

Hello, I'm using selenium rc for automated testing on a centos box. working on the box itself has no problem as long as i start the server through terminal. though if i wanted to run tests remotely i have a problem with firefox not knowing on which display to run. i have a vnc client running on port 1 (5801/5901) I've tried the following: export DISPLAY=1 ; java -jar

hi all, I've inherited a server with CentOS 6.4 the VNC Server starts up with the OS and its screen resolution is set to 800x600. I found that I can set the resolution by specifying the -geometry switch, but I can't find where the call to start the vncserver is set in order to change it. I know that it's not in /etc/xinetd.d (the only file there is rsync) here are the contents of

Hi Jerry, I done a lot of search in google. Than I find your post, but without success for my problem. I have add your xstartup file. But I can't get it working with this startupfile. One problem is, that I can't find the x-terminal-emulator on my machine. Which package must I install for x-terminal-emulator in CentOS7 ? Maybe you can have a look at my logfile and my configuration for

I know with vnc you can access virtual desktops, but is there a way to view the current desktop on a kde session? I tried changing the .vnc/xstartup and added the startkde & at the end to get the gui working, but can only get virtual desktops to show. or if there is a different software to use that someone else might know about. Using CentOS 3.4 Rob

I am trying to get a remote screen on C7. I did the following on C7 server: yum install tigervnc-server cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver at .service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service systemctl daemon-reload edit /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service and replace <USER> with myuser su - myuser run

hey guys, Ok so I've installed tiger vnc on a centos 6.5 machine. And I've edited /etc/sysconfig/vncservers [root at potwsld00001 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/vncservers VNCSERVERS="1:mysql" And added the contents of the xstartup file for the user: [root at potwsld00001 ~]# cat /home/mysql/.vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh [ -r /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n export

i''ve managed to get 2009.06 installed in a Xen DomU on Linux Dom0. it''s currently ''up'' with a static IP, and i can successfully ssh into the box as either root or ''myuser''. all network/login settings seem to survive reboot. i''ve set up for VNC to the DomU. i can connect, and am at the Gnome login window. but, neither

Hi, I?m trying to set up VCN server in Centos. I got the connection but no KDE windows, only a black window. Any idea?

I've been scratching my head over this one after setting up VNC on another existing server. Followed the instructions here http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server as usual. It worked initially. However since this server is going to be installed in a rather inconvenient place and having done pretty stupid things before, I decided for the first time to try the portion that says # Add the

Gerald and P.J., I just finished setting up VNC services following http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server and have a few comments. "2.3. Edit the server configuration" The last line should be corrected from VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800x600" to VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 800x600" "2.4. Create xstartup scripts" Comments about the rational for

Hi, I have a remote frontend (it's kept in the room which I don't have access) which is installed with CentOS 4 and Rocks . So, to use the desktop(Gnome) of the frontend I use the freenx + nomachine following the guide in http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?forum=20&topic_id=1640&viewmode=threaded. It worked. Then, I intended to add user, but I couldn't create the

I have a simple question, how do I specify a gnome session with VNc Server. I correctly setup up the connections but when I log in all I get is a blue screen with a checkbox in the upper left corner saying "Accept clipboard from viewers". My guess is that I am loading generuc X11 by default. How do I specify in the etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:4.service file that I want it to load

Hi, I have recently installed centOS 7 and trying to start vnc server on it. Somehow, I am unable to make vncserver working. I have modified iptable rules and xstartup file but it did not help. Has anyone else faced this problem earlier? Any help would be appreciated. Regards Hersh

I installed RHEL 5.8 x86_64 today. To my surprise, when I connect it using vnc viewer it does not start gnome-session automatically. The last line in .vnc/xstartup is twm& Before I removed RHEL 6.1 a few days ago, vncserver always starts gnome-session every time I open vncviewer. Is that related to RHEL version or vnc-server version? Best Regards, Yawei

Hi List; Sorry for the OT post. However I suspect if anyone outside of RH can help with this question it would be this list. I'm starting a new contract with a shop that knows little about Linux and I'm helping pave the way. I've "inherited" an existing Linux install (RHEL4). I want to setup some tools but I find that yum is not installed. Is this normal for a RH box ? I

The suggestion from Marco to try a non-3D DE worked. I tried two methods: 1. minimal Centos 7 install and xfce install via CLI. Worked fine. 2. Gnome Centos 7 install and then xfce install via yum groupinstall. Worked fine. One tip for anyone doing this: After starting vncserver the first time, it creates a ~/.vnc/xstartup file. This will be the same type of session if you logged in locally.
