Hello, We use many Solaris (8 & 9) machines to create virtual desktops (Xvnc), and have done so successfully for years. However, one Solaris 9 machine has us stumped, because .vnc/xstartup won't create xterm or twm. However, after Xvnc is started, one can successfully force xterm and twm into them via:
$ DISPLAY=<VNC desktop> xterm & $ DISPLAY=<VNC desktop> twm & However, we shouldn't have to do it this way. Here's our .vnc/xstartup contents: #!/bin/sh [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & twm & Basically just the default one (minus the vncconfig line). The .vnc/<VNC desktop>.log file contents (first half) are: Xvnc Free Edition 4.1.1 - built Mar 22 2005 15:01:29 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd. See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC. Underlying X server release 0, unknown Tue Aug 30 14:51:39 2005 vncext: VNC extension running! vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5902 vncext: Listening for HTTP connections on port 5802 vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 vncext: Desktop name 'cde:2 ()' error opening security policy file /usr/openwin/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy Could not init font path element /usr/dt/config/xfonts/C/, removing from list! Xlib: connection to ":2.0" refused by server^M Xlib: No protocol specified It's the last two lines in particular that are different from our working Solaris machines' VNC virtual desktops. One peculiarity that may be worth mentioning is that permissions on /tmp/.X11-* are these on the "bad" machine (I'm kpl): drwxrwxrwt 2 kpl misc 176 Aug 30 14:51 .X11-pipe drwxrwxrwt 2 kpl misc 176 Aug 30 14:51 .X11-unix and these on a couple sampled "good" machines: drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 176 Aug 25 12:07 .X11-pipe drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 176 Aug 25 12:07 .X11-unix I had removed -fr /tmp/.X11-* on the "bad" machine, but they got subsequently recreated the same way (with kpl ownership). I don't know that this has anything to do with it, though. -Kurt Lloyd, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
