I'm ready to toss my stupid box out the window.. having a strange problem with VNC I just cannot figure out. I'm trying to get VNC to start automatically when the system comes up. I've tried to do that 2 ways.. First, by doing it through rc.local:
su - username -c "vncserver :2 -name SystemName -depth 16 -geometry 800x600" That fails with a black screen and an X for a cursor.. no windows manager.. Then I tried loading through the vncserver service and the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file.. which I had: VNCSERVERS="2:username" VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-name SystemName -geometry 800x600 -depth 16" That also fails with a black screen and an X for a cursor. No, what doesn't make sense, and is driving me INSANE, is that if I just MANUALLY start up VNC via an SSH session after my system boots up (And I have VNC Services disabled and nothing in rc.local) it comes up with a Gnome desktop just fine. I also uncommented the 2 lines out of the ~HOME/.vnc/xstartup file that Redhat suggests. Its just strange if I invoke it manually it works but if I try to do it at startup it fails. ANY ideas here? I know the simple answer is just to start it when I need it, but this is driving me INSANE and I can't figure out why it won't load properly. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I am currently running Fedora Core 3, and VNC 4.0.7 I believe.
