VNC installation on HP-UX 11i v2

[darren_lee]

Hi

I'm having difficulty setting up VNC.

When i start the vncserver and try to connect to the system, it shows a solid grey screen.

However, when i type 'xclock', the screen does show the clock.

Can someone point me in the right direction or document?

Thanks.. much appreciated.

Shalom,

To get a normal user interface

cd to the .vnc directory

vi the xstartup script

There are two lines that are commented but you must uncomment to get a normal gnome/cde environment.

Comment them, kill and restart the vncserver process and try again.

hi,

It seems that you have a default ~/.vnc/xstartup file.

Can you try to modify it with the following:

#!/usr/bin/sh

export USER=$LOGNAME
/usr/dt/bin/Xsession &

This will launch a standard CDE session. With this you will have the standard CDE font path, color palettes, window manager, etc.

let us know if this works fine for you.

kind regards

Thanks. I managed to show the CDE desktop at last. Initally, with the changes made to xstartup, it is unable to work. however, after stop and starting and deleting the file at /usr/spool/sockets/X11/13, it managed to work. is this suppose to be so?

there is still an error in the log.

currently the folder (/usr/spool/sockets/X11) is set to bin:bin.

will changing this folder to root solve the problem?

thanks
