I followed both options: vncviewer -via euripide
Shouldn't the format of the command be something like... vncviewer SERVERNAME:1 -via localhost
No: the -via option of vncviewer is a short way to setup an ssh tunnel to the SERVER running Xvnc (vncserver).
Well, if I do as you say it fails for me in the same way as it fails for Patrick.
Weird. Do you have also:
ssh: connect to host ... port 3022: Connection refused
If I use the format I show, it works just fine.
With "vncviewer SERVERNAME:1 -via localhost" you are first opening an ssh tunnel to localhost. This is useless. I guess you can connect directly with: vncviewer SERVERNAME:1
A way to see how vncviewer setup the ssh tunnel:
strace -s 1000 -f -e execve vncviewer SERVERNAM:1 -via localhost \ |& grep 'execve("/usr/bin/ssh"'
