Just Give Me the Beans!
Not sure... I haven't tried this process with Xubuntu, maybe there's something different needed w/that version.Originally Posted by xmrkite
Did you manage to find all the remote settings listed at the top ("while logged into gnome")? Were there counterparts in xubuntu? Beyond that you might have to do some more searching related to xubuntu and vnc. I bet that's the issue.

I did find some other info on xubuntu and vnc, but everything i've tried just gives me the same thing i have now.
I'm wondering if there is a way to reset things and try fresh, without reinstalling, cause i have a lot of stuff setup on this computer.

Did you verify that the fonts directory is correct for your system? Its in one of the lines in the Xvnc file.
It changed a few versions back, and maybe its still the old path in xubuntu...
The current: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc USED to be: /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
Just a guess, but make sure this path is valid for your system.

I'm not sure exactly where i set the fonts path...any ideas?

Its in the Xvnc file. /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc

tons of fonts in the /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc folder that the file calls. Must be something else then i guess.
First Cup of Ubuntu
I've set this up and can logon and view my desktop in Ubuntu 8.04, however whenever I start my first application (e.g. Firefox) after remote logon I get the following error
"There was an error starting the GNOME settings Daemon.
Some things such as themes, sounds, or backgrounds may not work correctly.
The setting Daemon restarted too many times"
This causes me to lose the Human theme and revert to the default GNOME theme.
I previously had this problem when I upgraded from Ubuntu 6 to 8 and then assumed that it was caused by the upgrade, but I've now reinstalled and it's still happening.
Everything works fine if I login directly to the PC. The issue only happens when I use vnc.
Does anyone know why this would happen?

Thanks that seems to have done it. The workaround was to disable the keyboards plugin under /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/keyboard in gconf-editor

Been following the forum on this as I set multiple session for VNC on previous Ubuntu distro's as well as Fedora and have gotten them to work. I am receiving this error:

Any ideas as I can log into localhost:0 just fine. Actually wanting 5901 to be for a buddy of mine to log into his own desktop. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 desktop
Thanks for any assistance.
