RE: [SLUG] How to Use VNC !!
It went in and opened an xterm. I thought that it would show the Linux graphical login screen, and once logged in it would take me to the graphical display I see when I logged in from the Linux machine itself. This seems different to the way cgiwin/XFREE86 works. It should give you X windows - basically a real bland type... Right click should give you the X windows menu... And so on. It's not like the windows version where you move the mouse and it moves the mouse on the local screen. It has its own terminal so to speak. Although, in the latest Mandrake (9.0, soon 9.1) they have actually implemented their own (I think its their own) sort of remote admin version of Linux VNC, where it acts like the windows VNC.. i.e you control the users mouse, KB etc. But I'm sure it has it's advantages. Now how do I kill this session. Does just getting out from Windows kill this session, or I have to do something at the Linux machine. Close VNC should do it, or right click for the menu to log out Havent used it on linux in ages.

RE: [SLUG] How to Use VNC !!
I have installed VNC version 3.3 on the master machine running Windows 2000. I have also installed VNC version 2.8 on the slave PC running Linux. I opened VNC on the master PC and entered the IP address for the Linux machine, and I got connect failed after I connect. Is there anything I have to do on the Linux machine, like start a client ? You have to start a VNC server on your linux box. It should ask for the screen ID - usually set to 0 And a password. It should then connect itself to X windows. Also how do I do these fancy X forwarding stuff with VNC ? I didn't have to do much fiddling with it to get it working... Hardest thing was finding where it was on the HD! No help manual was installed from the software I installed. Checked the vnc sites?? There are different sites also... www.tightvnc.com www.realvnc.com Not sure about the realvnc.com?? But tight is great! Cheers AW. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
RE: [SLUG] How to Use VNC !!
Louis is my reply. You have to start a VNC server on your linux box. It should ask for the screen ID - usually set to 0 And a password. It should then connect itself to X windows. Louis I just did that and it did not ask for a screen Id. It only asked for a password. I can't paste the output From the cgiwin/XFREE86 Linux machine. But I saw this New 'X' Desktop is : linuxhost.linux:1 I then went to my Windows master 2000 and started VNC there. For the VNC Server I entered : linuxhost.linux:1 It started thinking and then I get an error message Failed to get server address. Did you type the host name correctly? . I then tried the following: IP_address_of_Linux:1 And this one actually worked. It asked me for a password for session. I entered what I entered from the Linux machine. It went in and opened an xterm. I thought that it would show the Linux graphical login screen, and once logged in it would take me to the graphical display I see when I logged in from the Linux machine itself. This seems different to the way cgiwin/XFREE86 works. But I'm sure it has it's advantages. Now how do I kill this session. Does just getting out from Windows kill this session, or I have to do something at the Linux machine. Anyway I still need some feedback how to get Tetraterm working with between Windows 2000 master and the Linux slave. That way I can decide what I want for my live server. Also how do I do these fancy X forwarding stuff with VNC ? I didn't have to do much fiddling with it to get it working... Hardest thing was finding where it was on the HD! No help manual was installed from the software I installed. Checked the vnc sites?? There are different sites also... www.tightvnc.com www.realvnc.com Not sure about the realvnc.com?? But tight is great! Louis Ok I'll check out the sites. Cheers Louis -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
