Hi,
Anyone manage to get VNC to work on 11.1? I can see the Opensuse screen
that comes up after login but it just hangs there. I edited my vnc
xstart file and added ‘startkde &’. I am using:
and

Hi,
Thanks for your reply… I tried that command:
dbus-start vncserver
but I am getting:

I have vnc working under openSUSE-11.1 KDE-3.5.10, but not under KDE4.
I spent a fair amount of time on Sunday, connected from Europe to North
America via vnc, maintaining my mother’s openSUSE-11.1 PC in North
America (from my European openSUSE-11.1 PC). [Both PCs are running
KDE-3.5.10 - quite possibly the “best” KDE around (at this time) … ]

Typo – I meant to say: dbus-launch vncserver

The computer I am connecting to runs a dual-boot of Windows Xp and
Opensuse 11.1. I connected to both (from OpenSuse 11.0) using the Remote
Desktop Connection tool. RDP to connect to XP and VNC to connect to each
OS. For some reason when I connect to OpenSuse it is really really slow,
but using RDP to connect to XP is really quick. To setup the vnc I did
the following:
on the remote host… then in Remote Desktop Connection tool I selected
the remote host VNC.
It should be as quick as XP or even quicker I would have thought.

There are options you can use to optimise the connection in VNC. Read
these:
man vncserver: ‘TightVNC: Manual Page for vncserver(1)’
(http://www.tightvnc.com/vncserver.1.html)
man vncviewer: ‘TightVNC: Manual Page for vncviewer(1)’
(http://www.tightvnc.com/vncviewer.1.html)
and even man xorg-x11-Xvnc: ‘TightVNC: Manual Page for Xvnc(1)’
(http://www.tightvnc.com/Xvnc.1.html)
It’s hard to extract the best combinations of options from them. I’m
looking at that but won’t be finished for quite a while, principally
because the bugs for VNC in KDE4/Suse are obscuring the problem for me.

VNC’s speed is a shame. I went to a lot of trouble getting 11.1 working
in work, and a lot of time rooting with a Perl script to access the VPN,
and now to discover that VNC renders the remote login practically
useless is dissappointing. I am remote logged into XP at the moment and
it’s as if I was at work. It seems that the protocol windows uses is
much faster than VNC. It’s a pity the same protocol isn’t available for
Linux.

I’m confused now, too many combinations/permutations. Can you explain
in more detail the slow connection?
For the server: the operating system, the Desktop Environment (kde3,
kde4, gnome), the Desktop Environment being served out, how the server
is invoked/started.
For the client: the operating system, the Desktop Environment, the
client software and how it’s started.

Ok, here it is:
Note, that the Remote Host is the same machine in both cases running a
dual boot of XP/Suse
Remote Host
To connect Suse. I logged into the Remote Host via SSH, and started the
VNC server using:
Local Host*
Started Remote Desktop (graphical version) for Opensuse… selected VNC
as the protocol and then put in the ip of the remoted host and the
DISPLAY.
Is this wrong… it was the only way that worked. To connect to XP I
simply used remote desktop in Vista.

That cuts out the possibility of two connections concurrently (ssh and
vnc) and the far remote possibility of three (ssh, rdp, vnc).
Fingers xrossed viva Linux!
