vncserver does not start at boot.
I log in on the console as root and
service vncserver start
and it starts with some warning messages about bad display name in "add" command, but I do not see where these are logged to copy them into this message.
Once I start it from the console, I have trouble using the vnc client to access the server.
I really need for the vncserver to start at boot, as I want it to run in a place with no monitor or keyboard....
I don't recall there being an issue vs runlevel 3 or 5
First off, nx is a much better way to go
yeah, but that will take a bit of work. At least when I look at it back in the summer, it was not just a drop in as vnc has ALMOST been.
Anyway...what's contents of /etc/sysconfig/vncserver ? Is it configured?
Only thing I have configured is the vncservers= line
and for ~/.vnc I have run vncpasswd to set the password and edited the xstartup file to run gnome instead of X:
For Gnome, replace "twm &" with "exec gnome-session &"
also uncommented the two lines in xstartup for 'normal desktop'. Didn't notice any difference though,
---- service vncserver restart should be all that you need then
