VNC & GDM

2002-03-28 Thread Chad and Doria Skinner
I have VNC and GDM running on my local computer, but we are wanting to install it on a server and want to disable the local x server and just enable gdm so that it will respond to vnc connections via xdmcp. I have hosts.deny and hosts.allow setup to only allow connections from the local machine

VNC problems

I've been working with VNC for awhile and haven't really encountered any difficulty this today. I have the full suite of vnc installed on two RedHat 7.1 boxes. Let me refer to these two boxes as Einstein and Newton. Einstein can start and access a user account on Newton just fine

One way to accomplish a similar behavior is to make your VNC session your main session. Then, when you login from the console, just connect to the VNC server there. Or remotely. If setup to enable sharing, it essentially accomplishes the same thing. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

That would work. I think he was trying to watch on the linux servers screen vnc client activity. If two or more connected to a session it should work. >If bevhavior you are looking for is to have somebody watch a screen >that's moving by itself you can have 2 or more vnc clie

If bevhavior you are looking for is to have somebody watch a screen that's moving by itself you can have 2 or more vnc clients hook up to the same VNC server, one person moves the mouse, the other watches. We use that as a collaboration or presentation tool that works very well, On Thu, 20

Just realized I didn't fully answer your question. If you want vnc server on linux to act like vnc server for windows then the answer is no. From what I've read in the past the vnc server for linux is only a session. It doesn't actually control your display like pcanywhere

VNC server for windoze is VERY different from VNC server for *NIX. In a nutshell VNC server for windoze is more like pcanywhere without the encryption (ssh solves that problem). VNC server for *NIX is another matter. It's more like a terminal session than anything. The desktop I be

Hi Chas It sounds like a resolution issue me. I found the same problem and being to lazy to figure out what to do with vnc, changed the resolution on the vncserver to 800x600 and then was able to see the whole screen on my computer. The dispaly was slightly smaller than the my 768x1024 display

In the home folder, you have a .vnc folder. In there you have a xstartup which starts the window manager. By default it is the trvm (i believe), you can change that to what ever desktop you want. I have gnom-session& in place of it. chas wrote: >I've installed VNC on Redhat7.2 to
