HOW TO: VNC and fluxbox
Hi all, this is amy first HOW TO so any tips/changes are welcomed
I decided to install fluxbox a few weeks ago and found that connecting to my laptop from my desktop through me into the gnome desktop rather than the fluxbox desktop, after some tinkering i managed to get it jumping to the fluxbox logon but the wrong session. if this is happening to you heres how to fix it.
Theres a version of VNC called x11vnc which is used to view the default session over VNC [exactly what we want]
to set it up
install the x11vnc server
Code:
sudo apt-get install x11vnc
Set the password file
Code:
x11vnc -storepasswd password /path/to/passfile
ie:
x11vnc -storepasswd letmein /~/.pass
Start the server
Code:
x11vnc -rfbauth /home/nino/pass
theres the usual run of options that you get with a VNc server and a faq here:
