hey guys,
Ok so I've installed tiger vnc on a centos 6.5 machine.
And I've edited /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
[root@potwsld00001 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/vncservers VNCSERVERS="1:mysql"
And added the contents of the xstartup file for the user:
[root@potwsld00001 ~]# cat /home/mysql/.vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh
[ -r /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n export LANG export SYSFONT vncconfig -iconic & unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS OS=`uname -s` if [ $OS = 'Linux' ]; then case "$WINDOWMANAGER" in *gnome*) if [ -e /etc/SuSE-release ]; then PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin export PATH fi ;; esac fi if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc fi if [ -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc fi [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & #twm & exec gnome-session &
But when I go to start it up I am getting this error:
[root@potwsld00001 ~]# service vncserver start Starting VNC server: 1:mysql You will require a password to access your desktops.
getpassword error: Inappropriate ioctl for device Password: [FAILED]
Can anyone tell me how to get past this point?
Thanks Tim
