I am trying to set up VNC on a new opensuse 10.2 installation. When I run vncviewer it connects to the vncserver but all I get is the Xll grey screen with the large X shaped cursor - No xdm login screen! After a timeout period the connection closes and the vncviewer exits.
Symptoms are the same when I run vncviewer on a remote or on the local machine.
What have I not done?
Things I have done: 1. Enabled xinet, and through yast enabled vnc1 - vnc3 2. Through yast enabled xdmcp 3. Turned off firewalling
http://www.vnc.com/support/getting-started.html http://www.vnc.com/support/documentation.html
Things I have noticed: 1. There is a duplicate entry in /etc/services for port 5900/tcp. 2. netstat -a shows that xinetd is listening on 5900 3. When I run vncviewer, ps ax on the server shows Xvnc is running
I have VNC running OK on a laptop using SuSE 9.3 A difference on the 9.3 version is that the argument :42 appears in the xinetd entries for vnc1,2, and 3
Any ideas?
Yes. When having problems with an application, the first thing to do is to go to that application's website; In this case, visit http://www.vnc.com/
