Re: about vnc

From which OS you are trying to control a linux machine through vnc ?
 

Re: about vnc

Possible you have to configure your Linux XDMCP ( X Display Manager Chooser Program) to allow a graphic connection to the machine. If you get a console at least the VNC server is running.
 

about vnc

You can try below setting
/etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc
go to the [XDMCP] section and change enabled=false to enabled=true
Also add port=177 if not already there

/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
Same as file above
 

about vnc

cd ~/.vnc
vi xstartup

#twm
gnome-session & #If you are using gnome as your desktop environment.

Then,restart vnc by using vncserver.
