vnc-- didnt get the desktop of remote machine

[needee]

realvnc installed on SUSE 10(server1), from another suse 10, machine(client1), I want to get the Desktop of server1.
On client1, I ran vncclient and connect the server1... ok its done.
Prblm is that using vnc i just get "xterm" like console on client1(vncclient), and not the whole desktop of server1(vncserver). on that console(xterm like), I can type and run any gui app, e.g firefox, evolution etc, but this is not I want... I want a complete desktop of server1... so that I point and click, as we normally do.
is it possible using realvnc ? how ? plz help

Hey;

In your $HOME directory, there should be a hidden directory called ".vnc ". Have a look in there and you should see a script called "xstartup". There is probably a basic window manager :

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
gnome-session &

+++++++++++++++++++++

It seems to default to "twm" ( a useless window manager) . If you look on your system for other window managers ( like fvwm2, ICEWm, and gnome-session) and put one of those in there instead.

Check the man pages for vncserver to see how to kill, start , modify ,etc.


Have phun.
