VNC problems

2008-12-27 Thread Tim Frink
Hi, I'd like to run a remote session on a machine using vnc. So, on the remote machine I start vncserver and on my local machine I connect via vncviewer. The connection is successfully established but I just see a gray display without any desktop manager. My $HOME/.vnc/xstartup is: #!/bin/sh xse

VNC problems in stable?

Hi, I've been using VNC on a bunch of platforms (Debian/unstable(x86 and sparc); Debian/stable(sparc); Solaris; RH6.2; Win32), but the two x86 Debian/Stable boxen I've tried are having troubles. Xvnc starts, but none of the clients in my startup file will start. I get a bunch of Xt auth denied e
