I had the same problem at one time. While I do not know what caused it, I
was able to solve it by:
1. Shutting down vncserver (all instances of VNC) and deleting the
~<home>/.vnc directory.
2. Run vncserver again ( it will prompt for a default password).
It should be fine now, assuming that you are using the tar.gz distribution
directly from the uk.research.att.com web site.
3. For an added bit of funtionality I updated my ~<home>/.vnc/xstartup
with the following script to allow it to work with my gnome desktop.
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
case "$VNCDESKTOP" in
kde)
startkde &
;;
gnome)
gnome-session &
;;
*)
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
;;
esac
Now start your vncserver with the following command line:
vncserver -name gnome

Subject: Hanging problem
I'm got a VNC server running on Linux (stock redhat 6.2) and a client
running on Win NT. When I'm on my LAN, I can connect to the linux server
with no problems.
When I'm trying to connect from a remote machine, I get quite a bit of
weirdness. I get the "password" prompt to appear, and then enter it
successfully. The entire screen remains grey (not a "no window manager is
running" grey, but it appear no data is being received). Once a successful
connection has been made, it hangs, and i must kill the window.
The connection between machines is somewhat latent, but I can FTP
and telnet to the linux box or even use the vnc/java client to connect to
the vnc server.
I'm basically stumped as to what to do to make it reliable at this point
(beyond digging around in the code). Has anyone seen (and solved?) this
sort of problem?
Thanks.
