In order to make vncserver work, it was necessary to do some setup steps as per Tom Chung's VNC 101 Tutorial. Not sure of how Fedora can do this, but some warning might be given that vncserver does not work "straight out of the box" by putting a checkmark in front of it in Services. Additional setup needs to be done. (In reply to comment #1) Could you tell me what exactly you have to do, please? I will improve this bit in future release (starts without any additional setup) Regards, -A- Adam, I'm not sure you can improve this, but here is what I did. When you install a new system, typically you go to Admin > Services and check the services you want running. For example, ssh, http, sendmail, etc. These start when you press their Start button. But vncserver does not start in that way. It does not start until you do a few more steps. These are best described in the following tutorial: http://fedoranews.org/tchung/vnc/ The key additions to make vncserver run are the addition of VNCSERVERS="1:username" to the file /etc/sysconfig/vncservers The uncommenting of unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc in xstartup I don't see how all of this can be done by waving a magic wand. But if you have a way, that would be good. Thank you for your interest in my problem. I believe I am OK for now. FC7t3 is an amazing OS. And then service vncserver start |
