Windows to Linux remote console using VNC brings up blank console screen with only mouse pointer
Hi
This was installed on the Linux box a few weeks back by a guy that no longer works for us. All worked fine until last week. Now when we connect its just a blank screen with no icons.
I get a whole bunch of errors when starting the service too:
