I have followed the instructions at TightVNC (VNC Xvnc) on openSUSE as Client or Server (Remote Desktop Connections). I have also successfully configured vnc servers to use both Gnome and KDE on many machines; this is the first time I’ve had trouble.
Here is my xstartup file:
#!/bin/sh
-r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title “$VNCDESKTOP Desktop” &
/usr/bin/gnome &
And here is the output from the log file:
Couldn’t open RGB_DB ‘/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb’
