I see that remote desktop is no longer used on OpenSUSE 11.2. So I am trying to use VNC. I have tightvnc on a windows machine as well.
- When I first tried using the VNC viewer on windows it came up with “nobody’s X11 desktop…” Why did I get “Nobody’s”? Is there a way to get a particular user’s desktop?
- I specified a different port (:2) and got the user that I want. It came up with a terminal window. In doing so I ended up with a blank desktop - no icons on it. Is that normal?
- Is there a way to see the desktop of an active user on the Linux system?
More questions, but later…
I’ve been reading all I can about VNC/OpenSuSE 11.2 but none answer the questions.
Hi
It’s still there, just called vino-server these days on the Gnome DE
and the settings can be accesed via the control center and
gconf-editor if you wish to change the default port.?

This works for me in KDE and Gnome: TightVNC (VNC Xvnc) on openSUSE as Client or Server (Remote Desktop Connections)
And if you log in as user gerome, you’ll get gerome’s desktop, but not the one gerome’s looking at, a duplicate.
