[SOLVED] Remote Desktop problem

[chris4585]

Hello, my situation is pretty simple. I have as the following:

Desktop - 7.10 (not default ubuntu) - 192.168.0.106

laptop - 8.04 default ubuntu - 192.168.0.102

My problem, i have remote desktop enabled on my laptop, it says i can connect using "vncviewer laptop:0" well, that does not work. I can start a vncserver on my laptop, then from my desktop connect using "vncviewer 192.168.0.102:1" that works. But that isnt the current session i want to use..

any help please? this is very annoying and I'm getting headaches over this..

my problems started after i ran update manager earlier in the week.
