ERD Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 hello, i dont really have a problem, just a doubt. whats the point of setting up vncserver to run as a daemon (via mcc->system->services), if i still have to ssh to the box and type vncserver :1 ? i mean, if i dont set it up as a daemon, and type vncserver:1 at my ssh terminal, wont it work just the same? or even better, wouldnt it be the same to add this to the end of my /etc/profile?: vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Most DEs include build in vnc support. No need to install a seperate vnc server if you use KDE or Gnome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 If im not wrong, you can configure VNC and then save its configuration settings as default.. so you wont repeat setting up the VNCserver.... running it as a service makes the service available upon booting the box, if your dont need to run the service at any time. you can just start it manually via ssh. Are you trying to administer that box thru VNC?, well you can also start MCC of your remote box thru ssh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERD Posted June 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 thanks for your answers, if i may wonder a little bit off topic, i noticed that on the Gnome GDM control dialog, you can set settings for remote sessions, but how would i connect to GDM remotely? can someone please point me to a proper tutorial / article etc? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
