It sounds like you're trying to access the :0 session, much like you would if you were logging into a Windows server. Linux does not work that way. There is the "remote desktop assistance" application in some versions of linux, which is basically just VNC, or you can launch the VNC server using initd at boot. At this time, *I* don't know of any other way to control the first local console session other than to have it launched by the user.

Hi all: I have installed the vnc server on linux 2.4.21-20.ELsmp, and I can access the server using the windows xp vncviewer. First, on the linux server, I login as demo and start the vncserver, and I run some application program such capture screen on the server. If I login from xp viewer, I just can do something like opening a terminal,I can not see and control what the server is doing, for example:the capture screen application program which I am runing on the server. Someone told me we can see and control what the server is doing using the viewer, I am not sure whether it's possible? If it's OK, could anyone kindly send me some suggestions to accomplish it? _________________________________________________________________ SkA*;z5DEsSQ=xPP=;Aw#,GkJ9SC MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/cn _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
