Re: [expert] VNC Gray Screen on Mandrake 9.1
thanks, but that still doesn't work. Something tells me that I need to do a fresh install of LM9.1 instead of upgrading from LM9.0 to LM9.1. I just can't think of anything else that could be the problem. JOHAM,DAVID (HP-Boise,ex1) wrote: Here's my .vnc/xstartup file.

Re: [expert] VNC Gray Screen on Mandrake 9.1
Why replace the whole OS to fix one relatively minor subsystem? A safer way to the same result might be this one-liner: for i in `rpm -qa | grep vnc`; do rpm -qc $i; done Then go look at the files that are listed -- particularly looking for *.rpmnew or *.~. Another option is to urpme all your vnc packages, rename or delete any vnc config in /etc or your home directory, then urpmi the vnc packages you want.

I just can't think of anything else that could be the problem. Sorry if this sounds harsh -- I don't mean it to be. Replacing the OS because you can't get a program to work is terribly Microsoftish. The fact that you can get VNC to show a gray screen means that VNC is not at fault, your Window Manager is (or at least how you're starting the WM is). Try running something simple, such as an xterm, from withing the vncstartup. Then, try using startkde instead. Post your error logs, config files, etc..

I'd like to compare what you have to what I've had working. James JOHAM,DAVID (HP-Boise,ex1) wrote: Here's my .vnc/xstartup file.

Sevatio, Did you upgrade to the newest from MDK or from Texstar's VNC fix? The difference is that the ones for vnc don't have render compiled in as the default.

I've already done the qt3 updates. Look at your ~/.vnc/xstartup file and see what window manager is is trying to start. If you can run it by hand you it should start from vnc. As a workaround, you should be able to set your DISPLAY to the VNC display i.e. typeset -x DISPLAY=:1 and launch an xterm. From there you can start your window manager i.e startgnome, starticewm, etc. -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
