Bruce- It looks to me that your install files are not where X expects to find them. I would suggest a couple of things: 1) Check your XF86Config file, (in my system in the /etc directory), and see where it instructs you to put the fonts and the rgb files; then make sure that the vncserver program puts them there. After making any needed changes to vncserver file then rerun the install program. (modifying the xstartup file will not suffice) 2) To make things easy on yourself, before getting into the complexity of gnome, specify a lean-and-mean window manager; if you don't like twm I would recommend icewm: it's simple, fast, beautiful and functional. (That step IS in the xstartup file, no?) I believe that if you reduce the complexity of your configuration and check each element step-by-step you may have better success. And -- Oh, yes...check the .X.err file in yr home directory and see if X itself is reporting errors. I hope this message will be helpful to you... -Bill Cassady _______________________________________ On Sat, 4 Jan 2003, Bruce Douglas wrote: > Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2003 10:46:21 -0800 > From: Bruce Douglas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: vnc .. black vnc client screen > > update... > > went back to the beginning... > > for server: > 1) loaded redhat 8.0 linux onto a clean box > 2) copied latest version of VNC server from realvnc site (rpm for redhat > 7.3) > (didn't know how to build the tar version, but this shouldn't be an issue) > 3) modified xstartup file for gnome > 4) rebooted linux box > > i'm not going through any firewalls.. the client box is a windows 2000 box. > the server is > a linux redhat 8.0 box. > > for client: > 1) verified via the java browser... http://foo.com:5801 (works) > 2) used the vncviewer client > the client starts a window. the window is blank/black. gnome does not seem > to start > > the log file results are: > > ======================================================================= > [root@lserver1 root]# more .vnc/lserver1:2.log > 04/01/03 06:45:01 Xvnc version 3.3.6 - built Dec 2 2002 10:54:00 > 04/01/03 06:45:01 Copyright (C) 2002 RealVNC Ltd. > 04/01/03 06:45:01 Copyright (C) 1994-2000 AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. > 04/01/03 06:45:01 All Rights Reserved. > 04/01/03 06:45:01 See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC > 04/01/03 06:45:01 Desktop name 'X' (lserver1:2) > 04/01/03 06:45:01 Protocol version supported 3.3 > 04/01/03 06:45:01 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5902 > 04/01/03 06:45:01 Listening for HTTP connections on TCP port 5802 > 04/01/03 06:45:01 URL http://lserver1:5802 > SESSION_MANAGER=local/lserver1:/tmp/.ICE-unix/1028 > Loaded background '0x8095970 > Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":2.0". > Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":2.0". > Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":2.0". > Unable to open desktop file applications:///Internet/redhat-email.desktop > for pa > nel launcher: Error reading file > 'applications:///Internet/redhat-email.desktop' > : File not found > Unable to open desktop file > applications:///Office/redhat-word-processor.desktop > for panel launcher: Error reading file > 'applications:///Office/redhat-word-proc > essor.desktop': File not found > Unable to open desktop file > applications:///Office/redhat-presentations.desktop > for panel launcher: Error reading file > 'applications:///Office/redhat-presentati > ons.desktop': File not found > Unable to open desktop file > applications:///Office/redhat-spreadsheet.desktop fo > r panel launcher: Error reading file > 'applications:///Office/redhat-spreadsheet. > desktop': File not found > Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":2.0". > > 04/01/03 06:45:38 Got connection from client 192.168.1.3 > 04/01/03 06:45:38 Protocol version 3.3 > 04/01/03 06:46:01 Client 192.168.1.3 gone > 04/01/03 06:46:01 Statistics: > 04/01/03 06:46:01 key events received 0, pointer events 4 > 04/01/03 06:46:01 framebuffer updates 0, rectangles 0, bytes 0 > > ============================================================================ > ====== > > the xstartup file is: > > ----------------------------------------------- > #!/bin/sh > #unset SESSION MANAGER > > [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources > xsetroot -solid grey > xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & > > unset SESSION MANAGER > > gnome-session & > #bed twm & > ----------------------------------------------- > > the bottom line.. i'm still having the same issues that i've been dealing > with > for the past couple of days... the weird thing is that this was initially > working, > or at least i thought it was... > > > > > [root@lserver1 root]# > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Bruce Douglas > Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 3:38 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: vnc .. black vnc client screen > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruce Douglas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 3:33 AM > To: 'Bruce Douglas' > Subject: RE: vnc .. black vnc client screen > > > hi... > > ok.. now this is simply getting more confusing!!!! > > i've decided to go back and start fom the beginning... > > how does one completely remove/uninstall the vnc package.
