If I kill vncconfig, it has no effect on the problem. The desktop window manager should restart, otherwise I'm left looking at my desktop background forever, with no menus, buttons, or keyboard sequences available. To get "logout" feature working you need to use some X display manager (for example xdm, gdm or kdm). You can't start the session directly. If your machine is not headless (i.e. has graphics card) then the easiest way is to set Xorg to use libvnc.so module: 1. install tigervnc-server-module package 2. create file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory called 01-vnc.conf, for example, with following content: # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-vnc.conf Section "Module" Load "vnc" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Option "SecurityTypes" "None" EndSection 3. Use `Option "PasswordFile" "<path_to_file_generated_via_vncpasswd_command>"` option to set password-based authentication instead of none authentication. 4. restart the X session (or the computer) Now you should be able to see X display manager which allows you to login. Another way is to set your display manager to start multiple X servers (Xvnc, the VNC server, is also the X server) on multiple displays but it is more complicated. Closing as notabug. Nifty! Now, where is this documented? I'm apparently not looking in the right places. |
