Howdy Qgh, I'm no whiz at VNC, I'm pretty new to it myself but I'm wondering a couple things here.
On your linux machine, look in both your ~/root/.vnc and ~/you/.vnc areas to see if there are any files that that have .log or .pid suffixes. Mine have nameofmyserver:2.pid for example. I'm wondering if you started the server as you, but are now trying to kill it as root and it doesn't show up as a process for root. Which ever one has the .pid is the person you should be logged in as to kill it. Also notice that the name of the file also tells you what window it is using, :2 in my case, so kill that one. If all this fails you can try ps -aux |grep yournamehere to show all the processes you have running. As root this might be a big list so maybe instead use ps -aux |grep yournamehere |grep vnc to narrow it down. Once you see the line that is the vnc process you can kill it directly from the command line with the linux kill command instead pointing at the process ID number. I hope some of this helps a bit, like I say I'm pretty new to all this VNC stuff. Alan D.
