Configuring default resolution and color depth for RealVNC's vncserver-x11-serviced?

view full story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – When searching the web for information about how to configure the default resolution and color depth for RealVNC sessions, I always come across stuff that talks about passing commandline parameters to vncserver, such as vncserver -geometry 1024x768 or something. However, I have my system configured to start the RealVNC server on boot (for runlevels 2-5; I'm using Debian) via the /etc/init.d/vncserver-x11-serviced script that RealVNC installs; I'm not using the vncserver command. How do I configure this to have a particular default resolution and color depth? Is there a config file somewhere (HowTos)

Cannot get VNC running headless 2 years 31 weeks ago

I'm running Fedora 13 on an ESX 4.1 server.

I've changed /etc/inittab to runlevel 3.

I then installed vncserver.

Hi,

I have an fc17 box with vncserver working as a regular user on display :13. However, when I connect to it from a RealVNC client and try to open chrome, it opens on my real desktop, not the vnc desktop. How do I control this?

I'm using the default gnome with fc17. When I go to the Applications menu and open a gnome-terminal, it opens correctly on the vnc desktop.

VNC and xfce4 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi,

I have just setup vnc over the LAN using Tigervnc on F12. In general it works beautifully.

One thing I can't find any info on is how to get it to share display :0 , the ultimate objective in this case.,

Yesterday installed vnc4server package in ubuntu, after that shutdown the system and when tried to login today, unable to login for that user(through which vncserver installed).

Error I'm getting was login page displayed, but unable to login for that user, But able to login from another user.

After searching on the net for a while, tried some soln's from net i.e.

KDE and Vncserver? 8 weeks 3 days ago

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows how to edit the xstartup file (or whatever else needs to be edited!) to get vncserver to start in KDE rather than the gnome default.

Thank you!

This may be the world's worst and problem filled hack, but it worked: I edited my .vnc/xstartup file to have only one line:

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!
