Hi,
my OS is SuSE 11.2 with gnome.
Remote administration is active.
The VNC-session then connects to the login-screen and after login opens a new desktop.
How can vino be configured to attach to the desktop that is already running. (Ubuntu does that per default so it should be possible with SuSE too:))
THX, stn
Hi
Have you checked the Remote Desktop Preferences in Control Center?

All right, thank you. There it is.
I activated ‘remote administration’ in yast (with no option of logging on to the current desktop)
What I was looking for was ‘remote desktop’ in the control-center.
2 different remote modes. OK, got it now 
So now I have 3 open vnc-ports:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5900 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 9123734 8594/qemu-dm
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 16223 3021/xinetd
tcp 0 0 :::5902 :::* LISTEN 1000 12257312 25525/vino-server
Presumably 5902 leads to the new ‘remote desktop’.
Does 5900 belong to xen ? 
And 5901 to ‘remote administration’
That should clear up soon. What I really want to know is this:
Is there a way to change the ports (all of them?) to something completely different? That helps keep hackers away 
TIA stn
Hi
I would turn off the one you activated via YaST.
You can modify the port via the control center settings, but in YaST ->
Firewall -> allowed services you need to add the ports your wanting to
use via the ‘Advance’ button.
Unless your router can handle port forwarding so you could configure
that to just accept on xxxx and forward to xxxx

No, exactly that does not work. At least not in the same control-center-tab that activates ‘remote desktop’. Or is it somewhere else?
Some versions ago there was the option of changing the vino-port, at least for ubuntu. One version later it was gone again 
I checked what the several open vnc-ports are for:
5900 is a virtual machine (xen)
5901 is ‘remote administration’
5902 AND 5903 are opened by vino. 5903 works and show the current desktop (as wanted), 5902 shows only a white screen.
So it would really be helpful if it were possible to put vino on another port. Otherwise the port would be different depending on whether the VM is active or inactive during gnome-start.
(The VM also runs gnome, same as the host, so its vino-port can only be changed if the host’s vino-port can be changed. Kind of recursive :))
TIA, stn
Hi
Use gconf-editor and it’s under
Desktop->Gnome->Applications->remote_access here you can change the
port.
