Roberto & others,
OK, we have progress!
rs> Why is xsetroot uncommented?
That was in the installed ~/.vnc/xstartup file which started
a terminal viewer. I can only guess that "-solid grey"
is for the background viewer in which the terminal appears.
Probably harmless but I commented it out.
~/.vnc/joule:1.log contains this line.
/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :1
So the fundamental problem is that invocation of the
vnc client attempts to start a fresh tightvncserver while
the Xorg server is already running. This was confirmed
by issuing at the command line
"vncserver -geometry 620x730 -depth 24" and then starting
the vnc client. xfce worked on the client.
Fair enough. I understand that part of the recent
reorganization of the X server (X86 -> Xorg?), was
to integrate VNC with the X server. Why have two
servers when one will do?
So now I should think of running just one X server
which allows a local xfce client and also at least
one remote client connected by VNC.
Q1. How can a tightvncserver be started on machine
A without immediately starting a client?
Q2. Subsequently, can xfce be started and stopped on
that machine as a client of the tightvncserver?
Q3. Can xfce be started and stopped via VNC on
machine B? Yes probably---as demonstrated earlier.
Any comments on my reasoning? Solutions to Q1
and Q2?
Thanks, ... Peter E.
