    VNCServer after Knoppix HDD install.

    I have looked and tried everything I can find on the net but must be doing something stupid.

    Simply put, I have installed Knoppix on my Hard Disk and am trying to get vncserver to run at startup in the same way it does when I run it from a console once logged in - (ie so I see a the same things on my desktop)

    I tried using .kde/autostart and placed a link to vncserver in there - this worked ace until I realised that everytime I VNC'd to my Linux box it started another VNC server instance... not good - I ended up with about 20 instances in a day...

    I tried changing /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc by adding the line
    exec /usr/bin/vncserver :1

    That didn't work.

    I tried changing /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and added the line
    :1 local /usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 1000x730 :1

    That didn't work - It can't be that hard <aahhhh>....

    Help ?

    Thanks

    Phil

    #/bin/bash
    su -c "vncserver -geomtery 1024x768 -name Knoppix:1" knoppix


    ^ Make a shell script like that. Stick it in /usr/local/bin. Make it owned by you and executable by all.

    as root:

    ln -s /usr/local/bin/vnc-script_name /etc/rc5.d/S99vnc


    Note: I may not have the vncserver command exactly corrent, and there are a lot of options for you to decide on like depth and geometry. I'll have to look at my remastered CD to see what vnc scripts I used.
