Hi All,

OS: CentOS 5.4
GUI: Xfce 4.4.2

I am trying to get Xvnc up and running. So far I can
get past the password, get a big black screen with
a movable "X" for the mouse, then after about 10 seconds,
it dies. "Supposedly", I am suppose to see my gdm greater
(logon) screen. What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
-T

/etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc:

service Xvnc
{
type = UNLISTED
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd :1 -query localhost -geometry 1024x768
-depth 16 -once -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc -DisconnectClients=0
-NeverShared passwordFile=/etc/Xvnc/.vncpasswd
port = 5901
}


I restart xinetd with:
# (cd /etc/rc.d/init.d; ./xinetd stop; killall Xvnc; ./xinetd start)

What's in your ~/.vnc/xstartup? That controls what actually runs inside
of the VNC X display. Sounds like the display itself initialized ok,
but didn't have any valid X clients running, so it closed out.

I have been trying to get it to start the gdm greeter, which should be
user free until you choose a user.

I have tried various examples I have found on the Internet for
~/.vnc/xstartup, but they start some weird window manager
with an xterm in it. And, when you exit, one of my processors
max's out at 100%, until I kill Xvnc. And, the window manager is
specific to a user. No gdm greeter.

One of the examples I have tried:

#!/bin/sh (-)
# Add the following line to ensure you always have an xterm available.
( while true ; do xterm ; done ) &
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
