Check the usual suspects? Is your firewall configured correctly? Is vino actually listening (netstat)?
No firewall. The viewer even fails when run on the server as: vncviewer localhost:0
Since I am on a trusted network, I added an ALL statement ot hosts.allow for my client machine's ip.
I don't know vino specifically, does it leverage the VNC X module?
Yes, I think that's what is needed. Some statements are required in the xorg.conf file to enable vnc support. I ran across some info in this area on the Ubuntu forums.
I would just use the standard Xvnc and hostname:1,
which is
working, but when I login via vncviewer I am unable to
do any root
configuration via gnome.
I can't say I've seen this issue. Do you have a Gnome session open on the console at the same time?
Not always, generally the user is logged out of the server.
I know Gnome doesn't like
that.
I am being to wonder if vino really works! Why is there no doc or man page?
