http://www.linuxquestions.org – I'm running Fedora 13 on an ESX 4.1 server. I've changed /etc/inittab to runlevel 3. I then installed vncserver. When I try to start vncserver (service vncserver start) I get the following error: Code: Starting VNC server: no displays configured If I try to start Xvnc (/usr/bin/.Xvnc) I get this error: Code: Xvnc TigerVNC 1.0.90 - built Aug 25 2010 15:00:33 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd.

Stories similar to Cannot get VNC running headless

Hi, I've looked throuigh previous threads and not found anything to help. I have tigervnc-server running, port 59000 & 5901 tcp & udp open.

Hey all,

When I start vncserver on F17, specifying a certain geometry, I do not get that geometry when I connect via a viewer on another machine. Setting the geometry has always worked in the past....but for some reason with tigervnc/gnome 3, I cannot get it to take.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior or know how to alleviate it?

Thanks!

I connect to one of my work computers by VNC using the following

Code: vncviewer -via username@server_ip 127.0.0.1:xx -geometry 1300x800 I use this practically everyday to connect to our server and it ALWAYS worked fine with my F17 installation which has tigervnc 1.1

Now, I tried the same thing in my F18 installation and all I get is

Code: $ vncviewer -via username@server_ip 12

vnc server again 3 years 36 weeks ago

I tried Fedora for the first time ... installation worked like a dream, then I wanted to access Fedora from my Debian box on my LAN. What I did in Fedora was:

1. Install vncserver and vnc (Tigervnc server and Tiger vnc were installed) 2. Gave command vncserver and gave passwd it asked for

hi, I would like connect to a Fedora linux desktop by using vnc with a couple login/passwd and take the control of the current user session. I v installed vncserver (tigervnc) and x11vnc.

I v configured an user session in /etc/sysconfig/vncserver and launch vncserver :1 -name user. I can connect remotly but it's a gui root session. How take the current user session and see what he do?
