The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

VNC server config

Zones: VNC Remote Access Software, Red Hat Linux

Tags: Redhat Linux, RHEL4 update 5 ES

Hi All,

I am trying to configure VNC server following instructions below

VNC Server configuration
Setting up VNC server in RHEL or Fedora.
1.      up2date vnc-server (RHEL) or yum install vnc-server (Fedora) if you don't have it installed.

2.      Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers as root.

Uncomment the line:

VNCSERVERS="1:put_the_user_you_will_log_in_as_here"

The server will default to the resolution of the machine, so if you are going to connect to a desktop with a high resolution monitor from a laptop you will want to uncomment and set the following line also:

VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1024x768"

3.      chkconfig vncserver on

4.      su to the user that you will be logging in as.

5.      Run vncpasswd and set the password.

6.      Now run vncserver. This will create the needed initialization files.

7.      Edit /home/user/.vnc/xstartup and uncomment the two lines there to get a normal desktop when you log in.

8.      Now kill the Xvnc task and delete the lock files in the .vnc directory

9.      service vncserver start (there might be some other lock files you need to delete; I can't remember now - check any error messages here)

10.      Unfirewall 5901 tcp to allow remote connections

11.      Connect from the remote machine using servername:1

To attach to the session that is running on the monitor of the machine - the session of currently logged in local user, use krfb (on the server) and krdc (on the client) for KDE, and vino for Gnome.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am unable to execute step 7: Edit /home/user/.vnc/xstartup and uncomment the two lines there to get a normal desktop when you log in.

If I go under /home directory - I do not see any thing their. It is blank.

How will I be able to implement step7. I am totally a windows person and newbie to Linux
