I am working on reaching my home box, SuSE 8.1, KDE 3.1.3, from my work box, Windows 2000 Pro, using VNC. I have managed to make the connection, but it uses twm. Should I replace twm in the script with kwm or startkde, or something else?
I usually set my vnc session so that I have to log in the first time. This means I can select the window manager I want to use. To do this, I use the following line to fire off the vnc server session (note, I run the server on my Solaris system at work and connect from linux at home, but I think this should be the same): vncserver -depth 24 -pn -geometry 1024x768 -query localhost It's the "-query localhost" that forces me to log in. I think that I could then have an empty .vnc/xstartup file, but right now I do put in a line to fire off an xterm. But I don't have twm or kwm or startkde or anything else in my xstartup.
Second, this appears to start a new X session. Can I connect to the session already running? If so, how?
Not with the standard vnc (that I know of). I understand that the real vnc (realvnc.com) now has a beta the adds functionality like this, but I haven't tried it yet (but may soon).
Third, I can seem to find a reference for running VNC. I can start it, but how do I stop it?
I assume you mean the server end of vnc. That can be stopped using: vncserver -kill :session_number where session_number is the number assigned when starting the vncserver. HTH, Steve
All help and directions to the proper references would be appreciated.
