Remote Desktop

[oneirishpollack]

I enabled remote desktop on my Fedora core machine.
SELinux is disabled, as is iptables.

I used UltraVNC to connect and it worked.

However, after I came back overnight, I tried to connect and it failed.

I received a "Failed to connect to server"

Found that the machine had rebooted.

How do I get it the Remote Desktop function to start as a service? I am new to Linux.

Thanks.

You're quite vague so I have no idea which method you're trying to use. Is it vnc server, xdmcp, ltsp... other?

[yasan]

login to system as root user


type the command

# chkconfig vncserver on

then

restart the linux system

this automatically start vnc server when system bootup

Yasan, I installed VNC server, but did not configure it.

I am assuming there is a default remote desktop service in Fedora 12, is this correct?

When I try and start the VNC service I receive a 'no configuration' warning, and the service is "off". With that said, I can still use VNC to remote the desktop.
