Ronin Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Just got my act together tonight to install and set up vncserver on my desktop and it works great. However, and isn't there always a however, it defaults to KDE and while I have no problems with KDE for VNC I'd prefer a less CPU etc intense WM like perhaps Fluxbox. Is there a way that I've missed to change the default WM that it uses? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 Got it. I had to edit the ~/.vnc/xstartup file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted April 5, 2004 Author Share Posted April 5, 2004 To get fluxbox to start as the default wm in a vnc session I had to add the line exec fluxbox to the ~/.vnc/xstartup file so that it looks as follows. #!/bin/sh # Mandrake Linux VNC session startup script # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc exec fluxbox I haven't tried this with any other wm but it should work for the rest as well.
