VOILA! A vnc service that actually works on port 5900! SuSE 11.2 x86_64
Marc..
Now that's cool! I've poked around a bit and I've tried different vnc solutions, and I agree the competing vnc methods are a mess. That why have always come back to using tightvnc for myself personally. I don't have to worry about setting it up for others. If I want a graphics session, I just start the vncserver on the remote host via ssh, do my thing, and then kill/reset the session the same way. I don't know why, but suse defaults to NOT resetting the vnc session once you terminate it, so I just use a one-liner that kills and restarts the service. From the client, I use the same 'vncviewer' client and it has worked fine. There is both the linux and windows clients, so that is usually convenient. For tunneling into windows boxes, I just stick with rdesktop. Something like: rdesktop killerz.3111skyline.com -u david -g 1280x800 -E -x l & -- or if across the internet -- rdesktop -u david -g 1024x768 -x b -z rbpllc.com always does the trick. -- David C.
