Hi Kenny, I set this up as follows: 1) Install Tight Vnc Server 2) set up inetd and services: modify /etc/services and at the bottom of file add this: # Local services #VNC On-Demand vnc-1024x768x16 5900/tcp (here you have a screen of 1024x768 px and 16bits of colors via port 5901) Modify /etc/inetd.conf and at the bottom of file add this (all on one line): # VNC On-Demand vnc-1024x768x16 stream tcp nowait nobody.tty /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 800x600 -depth 16 Now: 3) restart inetd daemon: /etc/init.d/inetd restart You should be able to connect with any VNC viewer. Note the name vnc-1024x768x16 is not important, you can name this whatever you want (ie: vnc or vnc-1024), I just kept it specific so I know the details of that connection. You just need to make sure whatever you call it in /etc/services you use the same name in /etc/inetd.conf. Also if you want you can duplicate this in both files and just change the name of the service and port in /etc/services (ie: vnc-800x600x8 5901/tcp) and the -geometry and -depth switches in /etc/inetd.conf (ie: -geometry 800x600 -depth 8) and now you can connect with different resolutions and screen depths. For every port higher you go in /etc/services you will need to add a : to your ip in your vnc client along with a 1 or 2 etc. (ie: to connect on port 5900 use 192.168.1.1, to connect on port 5901 use 192.168.1.1:1, port 5902 use 192.168.1.1:2 and so on). I hope this helps you out. There is a bug in Feisty where when you connect your keyboard mappings are screwed up. I was able to fix this with gconf-editor and hard code the mappings to model pc105 and layout us and it fixed my vnc connections, but now when I log in with the client I get an error wondering if it should use the X Settings or Gnome Settings. I tried adding the proper settings to /etc/skel to fix this but that doesn't seem to be working. I plan on fixing this with a new user creation script that copies the proper settings to the users /home/user folder on creation. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Jim Kronebusch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Jim Kronebusch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [email protected] > Sent: Monday, July 2, 2007 9:55:33 PM GMT+0100 Europe/Berlin > Subject: Re: Howto Setup VNC with LTSP 5 (Edubuntu) > > On Mon, 2 Jul 2007 14:23:56 -0500, Jim Kronebusch wrote > > Just wondering if anyone here has set LTSP 5 (I am using the Edubuntu 7.04 > > version) to allow login via VNC without a password and still use the proper > > login windows (Not sure if it should call on ldm, gdm or XDMCP)? > > > > Thanks, > > I was able to get this set up using inetd and not xinetd as per instructions > from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. > > thanks, > Jim -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cotter Technology Department, and is believed to be clean. -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
