Since this appears to be a font problem, please can you let me know
which fonts VNC needs access to on Solaris, and I'll try only specifying
them.
Cheers,
Alasdair
I am running VNC4.0 on Solaris 8 (2/04), via inetd. My inetd.conf
line is thus:
vnc-1152x864x24 stream tcp nowait root /space/tools/bin/Xvnc Xvnc
-inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 1152x864 -depth 24
-SecurityTypes=None -desktop="baltar-Sol8" -fp tcp/baltar:7100
I can start a session via vncviewer, and get the CDE login prompt.
I can enter a username & password, but then the VNCviewer window
simply disappears. vncviewer informs me "end of stream" and
nothing else. I've looked at /var/dt/Xerrors:
/usr/openwin/bin/xset: bad font path element (#38), possible
causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
Warning: Null child found in argumnet list to unmanage
dtlogin: recieved signal 11
This indicates CDE, which services your login is quitting, its not
vnc to blame for this, Xvnc just quits because it is instructed to
do so by dtlogin.
I don't think the fontpath is the problem, better look at the warning.
This all starts with a fontpatherror. IF it is just one of the
fontsdirectories
in your fontpath, it should not be a problem. However, if this leaves
no fonts
left (all fontdirectories are wrong) then I can imagine there are
problems.
Since your Xvnc call does not specify any fontpath, the windowmanager
has to
come with one. If they don't, there are no fonts and the
windowmanager might
have a problem here...
Try specifying a fontpath in the Xvnc-call, try the one you use on
the console.
Sorry, my previous reply lacked information that occurred to me after
I hit send. What I have tried so far is:
I've set a fontpath using:
-fp tcp/baltar:7100 - I believe there is a font server running on port
7100 - it's listed in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf
and:
-fp <path got from xset -q, with either : or , seperators>
I've checked the dirs listed by xset and I believe all of them to have
suitable permissions (ie 755 at minimum) and to contain a fonts.dir file.
