I've also tried using the command vino-preferences on the remote desktop. It tells me to connect to vnc:/IP-address:0
Whats interesting is that if I issue the command vncserver on the remote desktop, it starts up a new server on display :1. I can connect to this display with no issues via the SSH tunnel.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? I use SSH tunneling and VNC with display :0 on SUSE 10.0 machines all the time without issues.
thanks
Hi Ryan,
I usually just use the vncserver approach, which starts the :1 on port 5901, so I may not be the best person to advise you. However, I'm wondering if you go to the device running the "VNC server" and do a command like "netstat -tupan" (run as root to get the PIDs) to see what port the VNC process is using. Maybe it's not on 5900 for some reason.
