    Re: HOWTO: Set up VNC server with resumable sessions - KUBUNTU VERSION

    I just tried to install VNC in KDE. when I rebooted it didn't go to my Xwindow (if that is the right term) but simply a blank screen prompting me to log on. How do I get my machine working again?

    Re: HOWTO: Set up VNC server with resumable sessions - KUBUNTU VERSION

    I too have the "gray screen" on AMD64 problem. I've traced this problem down a bit. It's caused by
    1) I don't start a GUI on display :0. (It's a headless server in a closet. No point in wasting a couple hundred MB in pointless footprint.)
    2) Xvnc starts no window manager.

    So, although KDE is an XDMCP server, it's not running and isn't started by the xinetd->Xvnc chain.

    Resolution: Use vnc4server, which not only can start Xvnc, but can *also* start your window manager et al. Modify the /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc file to read as:

    service Xvnc
    {
    type = UNLISTED
    disable = no
    socket_type = stream
    protocol = tcp
    wait = yes
    user = root
    server = /usr/bin/vnc4server
    server_args = :1 -geometry 1280x768 -depth 16 -query localhost -inetd -o
    nce -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/X1
    1/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/ -DisconnectCli
    ents=0 -AlwaysShared -IdleTimeout=0 passwordFile=/root/.vncpasswd
    port = 5901
    }

    What's changed is the name of the server. The arguments have also been sorted to suit the syntax of vnc4server.

    Re: HOWTO: Set up VNC server with resumable sessions - KUBUNTU VERSION

    I am running Kubuntu Dapper.

    I had TightVNC installed so I uninstalled it and the other VNC stuff. I installed everything just as you said in the WIKI. It worked just as stated. I got the sign-in screen just as I wanted. I had the monitor running on the server computer and got a log-in window there too. I ended up running 2 sessions simultaneously ... one on the client and one on the server computer.

    I got a lot of error messages from kate so I went to nano and wrote the configuration files.

    GREAT WIKI!!!! It worked. That's all I can say.

    I managed to get the VNC part going well thanks.

    I was wondering how you achieve 1) above?

    Thanks

    ents=0 -AlwaysShared -IdleTimeout=0 passwordFile=/root/.vncpasswd
    port = 5901
    }
    I did that but now it get
    main: unable to connect to host: Connection refused (111)
    any ideas?
    also how would I make it so that multiple users can each have their own session open at the same time?

    ps I have followed this but that should not affest this I don't think

    Unhappy Re: HOWTO: Set up VNC server with resumable sessions - KUBUNTU VERSION

    Hai
    Tried installing ...bu the package is looking for xserver-common..which version will be compatible...or is there a workaround??

    Unpacking replacement vnc4server ...
    dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of vnc4server:
    vnc4server depends on xserver-common; however:
    Package xserver-common is not installed.


    that is the message I got...

    Tnx for the how-to, paperdiesel!!
    This could help you avoid the xserver-common dependency. I think there is an error in how the package dependencies were built. xserver-common is deprecated.
