How to configure VNC in Linux Suse
I am trying to configure openSUSE 11.2 "Emerald" for Remote access, and having a problem
What I have done:
Using YaST -> Network Devices -> Remote Administering -> Allow Remote Administration
Firewall is disabled
I have installed free RealVNC on Windows XP
Problem when I try to use RealVNC to connect to:
192.168.XXX.XXX:5900 it gives me error "unable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061)"
192.168.XXX.XXX:5901 gives me a black screen with mouse pointer
In browser is the same results with just different ports 5800 and 5801
What I have missed?
Updated:
Yes, it worked. What I have done is:
- Open Gnome Terminal
- Type command "vncserver"
- Enter client access password
- Open File Browser -> View -> Show hidden files
- Open ~home/.vnc folder
- Open xstartup file in gedit
- Replace existing code with next 2 lines:
#!/bin/sh /usr/bin/gnome &
And it start working, thanks to Jed Daniels
It sounds like you probably are getting connected, but don't have any X desktop configured. Check out this page for instructions on configuring a different desktop manager (you can probably skip the sections about installation and go right to the section on Configuring).
