 Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2006 2:54 pm Post subject: VNC server doesn't start KDE [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello all.
I've been trying to set up a VNC server on my desktop. I have tightvnc (with server) installed and running just fine. The only problem is that when I log in via VNC, the desktop is TWM, and not KDE. I know that I changed this during the gentoo install by added "exec startkde" to ~/.xinitrc, but I'm at a loss for VNC. Right now I'm tunneling the VNC connection through SSH because I couldn't convince my router to forward the ports correctly.
Help, please?

maybe it's going to another display that has no KDE running. do you see all your currently open apps.
check whether the compression/options are filtering.
vnc module to x server is easier and controls the proper display, not new one, windows people always fall down there. |

| TightVNC relies on .vnc/xstartup rather than ~/.xinitrc |
