Using VNC on OpenSuSE 11.2 3 years 14 weeks ago

Hi,

The host machine is Ubuntu 64bit, latest release. Windows 2008 R2 running on VMWARE, workstation 7.0. I have LTSP clients running Fedora 10, which are connecting to the Windows 2008 R2, using Remote Desktop Connection.

Only one application I have problem seeing the mouse, since its white on white.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. When I enable Remote Desktop and connect via TightVNC I can't see any windows on the VNC screen - I just see what looks like a default desktop, not the customised desktop on the console.

Hello,

[ubuntu] TightVNC 1 year 10 weeks ago

I followed the instructions here (http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/sta...er-ubuntu-boot) but it did not work: I have Windows Seven trying to use TightVNC to connect to Lucid Lynx. Are there better instructions anywhere on how to do this? All I get is the message: Failed to connect to server. I have turned off the the Router Firewall.

Thanks
