 |
|
Hi friends,
just would like to have tightvnc server to start at boot time so I can control SMS screen from another pc of my home LAN.
I put /usr/bin/vncserver in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
vncserver starts at boot but I get the following message:
vncserver: The USER environment variable is not set
(and the server isn't activated).
Tips for fixing that?
btw: if I start vncserver from a Putty terminal everything is OK, I can enter and operate a remote SMS desktop.
greetings! |

Setup you password with "vncpassword", and edit
/etc/rc.d/rc.vncservers.conf
with your users like
| Code: | | VNCSERVERS="10:root" |
And use /etc/rc.d/rc.vncservers to start at boot
place an entry in rc.local
| Code: | | /etc/rc.d/rc.vncservers start |
Additionally configuration for sessions in
/etc/tightvncserver.conf

Hi gerasimos_h
that's OK. followed your suggestions and vncserver is active now.
Only addition I did was to assign execution permission to /etc/rc.d/rc.vncservers
