I am running Startcom linux ES5 . When i bring up the VNC server and login to the machine running a vnc client , I only get the real basic x-windows session and a term window. how can i get it to bring up the real linux desktop on all sessions?

Hi

search a bit in the vncserver man page....
but as a quick start-point, in the ~/.vnc directory you should have the xstartup script... in that file you should replace the basic window manager with a line like:
gnome-session& for the gnome desktop environment, or the desired window-manager/desktop environment startup script

As a result of this the correct way to do it was to:

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

in the xstartup file.

Frank its very simple u have perform only these steps and nothing else and otherwise contact again

VNC Server configuration on Server Side
--------------------------------------
1 - cd /root/.vnc
2 - ls -a
3 - ls -l
4 - vi xstartup
5 - remove hash on both lines (unset,exec)
5 - :wq
6 - vncserver -depth 16 -geometry 800x600

Thnks

put gnome-session in there and then vncserver :#
#->1,2,3,4..........
