Hi, vnc4server, and tightvncserver issues.
OS: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Sever.
I am somewhat new to Ubuntu. I have run a basic server for a while, but never really dipped into VNC.
the problem i am having is when i go run vnc4server it starts up what i would think to be a valid session on server name:1. however, when i connect all i see is white screen with a bunch of black dots on it with a nice fat X as my cursor.
I have dug everywhere i can, and have found nothing on how to fix this issue.
I have remote desktop working but its to slow for my tastes. I have used vnc before on other Linux boxes and its nice and speedy.
I am very frustrated with vnc.. i can't image that all vnc is not working on Ubuntu 8.04.
I have tried reinstalling the packages, down to modifying the Xstartup to reflect my gnome-session i want to run.
if anyone can give me a good walk through with solid steps on how to configure my system so i can use vnc instead of remote desktop i would greatly appreciate it.
I have modified quite a few files as well trying to get things working so i am not sure what are the right settings for starting up or what needs to be set to what to get things working..
I really hope someone out there knows how to fix this
Thanks! in advance
