That is strange I see this openSUSE 12.3:

anton@linux-hdfy:~> rpm -ql tightvnc | grep xinet
/etc/xinetd.d/vnc
anton@linux-hdfy:~> rpm -ql xorg-x11-Xvnc | grep xinet
anton@linux-hdfy:~>

I already told you how to a few times.
Enable it in YaST->Network Services->Remote Access, f.e., or in YaST->Network Services->Internet Services.

Or add a line that runs it to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, or put a script that starts it in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ . Then it’s started on login.
Or put a script starting it to ~/.kde4/env/ (have a look at Configure Desktop->Startup and Shutdown as well), if you’re using KDE.

I already done that but its not booting sorry can’t help it.
But no problem will search for explanation which tells me howto instead of what to do.
Thanks sofar

OK, so the packages have changed in 13.1.
But you do have the file there in the tightvnc package.

I think in 12.3 something else than tightvnc was used by xorg-x11-Xvnc (tigervnc I think).
So if you want to have tightvnc, enable it in YaST->Network Services->Internet Services.
The /etc/xinetd.d/vnc is from tightvnc.

I already done that but its not booting sorry can’t help it.
But no problem.

And what does “its not booting” mean exactly?

#23

Yes that’s true.
Would be nice when linux should be more universal now every distribution and version has it own names and path.
Thats why I am getting confused I guess.

I only need auto start vncserver when booting.

Normally not a big problem if you know the command line and where to put it.

#24

Another time:
Enter YaST->Network Services->Internet Services (xinet) and enacble “VNC” there. You can even edit the command line there.

#25

Did not work vnc1 is already enabled.
Can the problem be LXDE I am not using KDE?

#26

No.

Is xinetd running?

systemctl status xinetd.service
#27

yes xinetd is running
cannot not paste the code

#28

So is vnc running?

ps -a | grep vnc
#29

ps -a | grep vnc is giving no result

node2@linux-cox0:~> ps -a | grep vnc
node2@linux-cox0:~>
#30

Have a look in /var/log/xinetd.log if it is started and if there’s an error.

#31

xinetd.log is empty

This is my /home/node2/./vnc/xstartup

           [LEFT]#!/bin/sh[/LEFT]        [LEFT]xrdb $HOME/.Xresources[/LEFT]    [LEFT]xsetroot -solid grey[/LEFT]    [LEFT]xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &[/LEFT]    [LEFT]lxterminal &[/LEFT]    [LEFT]/usr/bin/lxsession -s LXDE &[/LEFT]

Then I made a startup file tightvnc.desktop in /home/node2/.config/autostart/

[Desktop Entry]
 Type=Application
 Name=TightVNC
 Exec=vncserver :2 -
 Icon=

Then reboot and type in vncviewer hostname} :2
after filling in the password its working only I now see a black tightvnc remote screen ?

What did I forget.

greetings
Anton

#35

sorry my mistake
If you get a black tightvnc remote screen then you probably where logged in as root.
It all works fine now.

Is it possible to remote more then one workstation at the same time?
I guess not.

greetings
Anton

Then there must be log entries somewhere. Check /var/log/messages.

Notice it says «To enable xinetd services go to YaST Network Services
(xinetd) section» Did you?

You can have multiple terminal sessions open, each to a different PC, so yes you can have more than one session open at the same time.

Thank You,

#38

Awesome thanks.
Now I only need a ssh script which can open multiple computers and show for example top so I can monitor them at once.
But that is off topic.

greetings
Anton

#39

Each session needs a password, so I am not sure how you will spawn multiple session as each will need attention for the password.

Thank You,
