Hello,
Not sure if this is possible, have tried it and I dont seem to get what
I was expecting.
Basically I have installed tigervnc on fedora 15 and it works, it lets
me connect do what I wanted to do and then can disconnect, but what I
was wondering is if I am logged in already as the user I have setup in
the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers before I connect is it at all possible to
see that currently logged in users desktop instead of a different new one ?
i.e. I may have left something on it that I wanted to see and I may not
be at home for arguments sake so could possibly vnc into the box from a
remote location and see the screen as if I was there and continue on
from where I was, instead of getting a blank desktop and having to
remember what I was looking at.
The main reason for me wanting to do this is cause I mainly use it as a
server, and therefore it doesn't have a mouse/keyboard attached to it
and I very in frequently need them, but it is also plugged into my TV,
and I was wanting to play a youtube stream on the box and watch it on my TV.
Thanks
Daniel.
I have used X11VNC Server for just this task. It provides an easy to
use GUI we well as port definition control, password control, etc. You
might give this a shot.
