Hello,
I’m having trouble installing TightVNC on my Fedora 11.
Apparently, I managed to install the server software, because I can connect to the
machine using any VNC Client on a Windows system.
But instead of the Fedora screen (with all opened windows and so on) I only see a
bash
console on a gray background.
You probable need to look at the xstartup file in the .vnc (period vnc)
directory in the users home directory. The file has a statement that you need
to uncomment two lines to get the normal screen? Don't know why that isn't
the default.
The Fedora has changed to another vnc program that can be loaded by yum
install vncserver, and that is what I setup on my Fedora 11 systems.
What do I have to do to see a copy of the screen (as I would see
it if I’d connect a
monitor to the Fedora machine)?
Please make it easy, I’m new to Linux… :D
Thanks for any help…
