Hello,
I installed fed6 and tried vncviewer on this server.As a result I had a black screen with a cursor in it.I used the same CD's for a previous installation and this worked without any problem.
What could be wrong.
vncserver is started. I had to type 'vncserver' to get a xstartup file in the $HOME/.vnc directory.
Isn't there anything like a checklist for vnc?
This installation is a horror.

---- users must set a password....
# su - SOME_USER $ vncpasswd
I would recommend that you use /etc/sysconfig/vncserver
something like this...
VNCSERVERS="1:craig" ARGS="-geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -alwaysshared "
and also something like this in this users home directory
$ cat ~/.Xclients-default #! /bin/bash # Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
WM="startkde" WMPATH="/usr/bin /opt/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin"
for p in $WMPATH ; do [ -x $p/$WM ] && exec $p/$WM done
exit 1

then I started the vncserver: service vncserver start which gave: ----------> Starting VNC server: 1:roland New 'gdfecurie.gdf.fr:1 (roland)' desktop is gdfecurie.gdf.fr:1

Any ideas?

---- yeah...you need to implement /home/roland/.Xclients-default as I listed in previous e-mail (adjust for GNOME or other desktop manager as needed) because you are seeing twm. Restart vncserver service after you make the adjustment.

or edit the ~/.vnc/xstartup and replace the "twm &" on the last line with "startkde&" or "gnome-session&" as per your fancy.

I tried that also but this does not work eather.
I also tried the suggestion of Craig:

Did you uncomment the two lines on xstartup as the tutorial says?
---------------------------------------------------- If you edit the script called *xstartup*, you will notice following comment in red. *Uncomment* those two lines in red as shown below!!! Otherwise, you will get nothing but grey screen.
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc---------------------------------
