    VNC with GUI

    Hi,

    I have VNC server running on my RH9 box and when I connect from my XP using vncviewer I get a prompt similar to a telnet window on the vncviewer screen. I was expecting the gui environment similar to what happens when I VNC between windows boxes - I can see the exact same desktop and move things around as if I'm using that box.

    The reason I need to do this is I need to run the J2EE deploytool remotely which has a gui interface.

    I've googled and searched all postings here but could not find a related post.

    Any help is appreciated.

    -Rex

    you lost me on which computer is running vncserver and which is running vncviewer. Then the problem might be easier to answer.

    just figured it out.

    Code:
    Linux <------------ Windows
    VNCServer          VNCViewer
    Never heard of that problem. I do this all the time from work to home. Question, what are the messages you get when starting VNCServer?
    There is a log file in ~/.vnc/ that might help.

    i just figured it out :-)

    Just commented out the twm & (or something like that) and added gnome-session in /root/.vnc/xstartup file.

    Thanks for the reply.
