Re: RealVNC (registered ServerEdition): howto (a beginning)

Klaus, Many thanks for this information!

I’m trying to get RealVNC to work on SLES10/SP2, but I keep getting
this…

VNC® Server Enterprise Edition E4.5.4 (r41964) - built Jun 14 2010
11:04:02

Unrecognized option: PasswordFile=/root/.vnc/passwd

-alttab character Use character specified along with Alt to
generate Alt+Tab effect.

specifying invalid character,
‘z’ will be used with Alt key to generate
Alt+Tab effect
-a # mouse acceleration (pixels)
-ac disable access control restrictions

…and it goes on to list the rest of the options.

I’m using the configuration files you developed. Here’s my
/etc/init.d/realvncserver…

#!/bin/bash

…and the /etc/vnc/config…

Default vncserver configuration. See the vncserver man page for

details.

#-desktop “$HOSTNAME:$DISPLAYNUM ($USER)” # Desktop name
-desktop “$HOSTNAME:$DISPLAYNUM ($HOME)” # Desktop name
-pn # Continue even if standard
ports fail
-httpd # Serve Java viewer inline

Default font path (from xset)

-fp
“/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/vnc/fonts”

Default RGB database file

-co “/usr/X11/lib/X11/rgb”

…and I’ve set the vncpasswd, and there’s a passwd file present in
~/.vnc/.

I’ve tried removing the passwd file, but this doesn’t change anything.
I still get the same response.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Brent
