RE: [newbie] Setting up VNC

2001-03-17 Thread Bill Shirley


I start mine with:

/usr/local/bin/vncserver -geometry 1152x864

and here's my xstartup:

[root@elmo .vnc]# cat /root/.vnc/xstartup 
#!/bin/sh

#xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" 
#kwm 
/usr/bin/startkde

HTH,
Bill

Subject: [newbie] Setting up VNC


Can anyone explain

a) Why the following messages result when starting up VNC:
   xrdb: No such file or directory
   xrdb: can't open file '/root/.Xresources'
   /root/.vnc/xstartup: xterm: command not found

b) How to start up KDE instead of the default twm.  Using 'startkde' I get a
whole raft of error messages among which is a complaint about KDE already
running.

This is a fresh server installation of Mandrake 7.2; the only thing I've
done so far is set up Samba.

TIA
