You are running your service as "nobody", and the howm dir for nobody is "/". The VNC server process needs to write to $HOME/.vnc to start. I used to do this a long time ago, so I don't remember for certain, but you may need to create a /.vnc directory and make it writable by nobody...
Or, it may be that you need to make sure /etc/vnc/xstartup is correctly defined to start your X desktop session appropriately. Also, if it isn't, you may need to remove (or edit) the /.vnc/xstartup file (copied from /etc/vnc on initial start of Xvnc). Hope that helps.

I am tryiong to configure vnc on a new RHEL6 system. Like on RHEL 5 systems I adminster I set it up as a service via xinetd. My xinetd.d entry /etc/xinetd.d/vnc says service vnc { disable = no socket_type = stream protocol = tcp group = tty wait = no user = nobody server = /usr/bin/Xvnc server_args = -inetd :2 -query localhost -geometry 1200x900 -depth 16 -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/ -securitytypes=none flags = REUSE } and in /etc/services I define service vnc as vnc 5901/tcp When I connect to the vnc service, I get a black empty x11 root window, but nothing visible on it. What I would like to get is a gnome login On my RHEL5 systems where I have basically the same setup but also a confuration for xdmcp for X-terminals I get a login screen for a full gnome session with vnc. What do I have to do to get the same on RHEL 6 ? _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list
