VNC Server, brings up really basic Xwindows
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


Regards

result
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.
