I'm running a server that boots into runlevel 3. I can ssh into it but I only get a blank screen when I try to connect to the vncserver that's running on it. Is it possible to connect to a vncserver that's running on runlevel 3 or does X have to be running for the vnc to work?
View 1 RepliesI am currently using FC10 on a Dell 4600 with 2GB of ram. I love Linux as it is the most stable OS around. My end goal is to have the machine boot and start the vncserver automatically, eventually using an ssh tunnel to make it secure. My main problem is the vncserver is not starting on boot, I must login as a user then it works great. the error I get is

Basically what happens is the vncserver fails on boot however, if I login to the Fedora box I am able to connect and I get the GDM login screen. I have read many, many posts but have not been able to get over the boot issue. I really want to make this a headless box I can put in another room so I have more room for my musical gear.
I run into a problem when trying to use my XP as VNCViewer and my Fedora 10 as VNCServer I installed VNC server and client in both my XP and Fedora. If I am using Fedora VncViewer through XP, it runs with no problem. But not the otherway around? (XP vncviewer to FC) Yes..... I know this happens a lot and I can google it, but I googled it with no luck! IP address for my Fedora is 10.0.10.148
I run VncServer in Fedora by typing 'vncserver' or 'vncserver :1', and comes out with the display screen number (1) and the log file. I checked the log file and there are a few errors. (see attached) I run VncViewer from XP, type in 10.0.10.148:1 and still got "Connection refused (10061)' (please see attached again). I attached the startup file as well for you to see. Port 5900 TCP and UDP are open, I can ping from XP to Fedora, I can telnet, but I can't VNC.
I install and configure the vncserver following and reading 1000papers, but all of this present the same problem; when i try to connect to my vncserver,recive this mesage: unable connect to socket: No route to host (113) The OS version is Fedora Core 14 and tigervnc-server i try different solutions including:Allow TCP connection modifing files /etc/gdm/custom.conf and /usr/share/gdm/gdm.chemas Disable SELinux removing iptables Here follow the vncserver configuration:

The ip address of the vncserver is correct because i can do ssh on it. Where or what can i do?
I am setting up a server with Ubuntu Server edition. It is has 4gb of ram and had been working great the first week or so but something strange started happening about the same time I installed MythTV. After that, the server would slow down considerably and the ram being used would go from about 400megs up to all of the 4gb and use about 2gb or swap. After much research and investigating, I've narrowed it down to the vncserver starting up all 100 displays/sessions even if I try to specify one with : vncserver :1
View 3 Replies View Relatedrunlevels 2 -5 are identical in Ubuntu. /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf is used instead of /etc/inittab for changing the runlevel. But there's no point doing that since the runlevels are identical. The default runlevel is 2, so I tried to find some service I could disable in /etc/rc2.d. I didn't find anything I could work with.

I'm new to Linux. I'm trying to install the VNCserver using SSH connection in a remote pc with Fedora 13. I would like to access the Gnome through remote connection. I did the setup Iptables freeing ports 5901 and 5902. Also set up vncserver and user. The user "aquiles" is a user of the system and also the vncserver. The problem is that I am not able to start the service. I think that seen anything related to Perl. Displays the following error:

How can I start the vncserver serivce before any uesr log in? because I only have one screen now what I already did is when I log in the vncserver service going to be startup, but I want it can start before I log in. I try the "chkconfig --level 345 vncserver on" but after I reboot, I still cannot access the system before I have a log in action.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using vncserver to connect Linux from Windows Desktop. When i open the vncsession cursor is not moving continuously i.e i need to press one by one. I'm using KDE desktop for linux.
know the settings to move cursor continuously when i press/hold the key.
configured /etc/sysconfig/vncserver, used vncpasswd as the user im trying to log in as to set passwd, disabled firewalls, set chkconfig --add vncserver but still whenever i try to connect to the vnc server I get "unable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061)". If I run the "vncserver" command as my normal user, I can connect fine then. This really wearing on me, any help is greatly appreciated. It is weird if I try to stop vncserver it says [ok] and then if I try to stop again it says [Failed] but if I check the status of vncserver it says Xvnc is running..

I boot by default into Runlevel 3 on my F12 Server. If I need GUI apps then I run startx.The server I'm using (eeeBox eb1501) has a wired and a wireless LAN interfaces. I run two networks and want to be able to connect to the wirelss one without having to start Gnome or KDE just to get the WLAN to connect.IS this someting to do with the NetworkManager or just the gnome-keyring?The wired interface comes up at boot but the Wireless one won't until I start the GUI.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 11 in VirtualBox, and the initial installation went fine. I then did a system update, and the video driver is broken. When I enter GDM, I have a black and blue screen, with the Fedora logo replicated across the screen.
I don't enter the Grub screen when I boot, and I wonder if there's another way to boot into runlevel 3. At one point, I'm prompted to type "I" to enter interactive mode, but doing this repeatedly still boots me into the GUI.
I recently switched my server runlevel to 3 and I don't notice any updating of any kind going on, does the updater run in runlevel 3? If it is possible, how do I do it? Is it a service that I need to start? If so, how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedRunning 64-bit Fedora 10 with original installation runlevel being 5.
So, there was this need for working with runlevel 3 for some days, then I've edited "/etc/inittab", changing line
id:5:initdefault:
for line
id:3:initdefault:
And the system went well, restarting automatically on runlevel 3.
Now it needs to restore its original runlevel, that is 5.
I've edited "/etc/inittab" to its original state but the system keeps starting on runlevel 3.
Also, I've tried
# init 5
and
# telinit 5
Both commands load X and the login screen but then when it restarts, it gets back to runlevel 3.
What can be done to get this system back to runlevel 5, automatically, during its INIT process?
I am running a mainframe emulator on an old HP server in runlevel 3 text only. I have googled a bit but found no information on controlling the text video mode in runlevel 3. When I boot my Fedora 12 system chooses the highest resolution it can meaning my c3270 terminal emulator program (80x25) is in tiny font occupying a fraction of the upper left corner of the screen. I have looked everywhere but can find no mode setting commands for runlevel 3 text only.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Fedora 13. If I boot directly to runlevel 5, the Fedora progress bar goes all the way across and then just stays at 100% and X never loads. I have to hard-restart the machine. However, if I press 'a' to append the kernel arguments and append the '3' to start in runlevel 3, login at the terminal that is displayed, and then type 'startx', everything works perfectly.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi performed an upgrade from fedora 13 to 14 on my test fedora virtual machine (vmware player 3) and i have this incredible problem: I normally boot in runlevel 3 and i start X only when needed with the startx command.When I want to exit from the X environment I use the "log out <username>" command on the System menu (gnome is the desktop manager). After upgrading to fedora 14 and applying all the available upgrade, this won't work anymore! I'm able to start the X environment but when I try to logout the window/desktop manager got killed but X remain active, the background image is visible on the screen, no mouse or keyboard interaction is possible.
The system is stiil alive, i can login through ssh, but i was not able to do anything. manually switching the runlevel from 3 to 5 and viceversa with telinit doesn't solve the situation: switching to runlevel 5 cause the login screen to be visualized and i' can login in the gnome desktop environment but when i logout o when a try to switch to runlevel 3 I always obtain the same result: X remain active and unusable, it's impossible to go back to a text console. what can i do ? any of you has experienced a similar issue ?
Booting into runlevel 3 and then issuing the $init 5, command leaves me this."binary handler for windows applications already registered" and the system hangs there.I yum removed wine, thinking that might be the issue, but that solved nothing.

How to auto-login as root? Our target runlevel is 3. Since Fedora 15 use systemd, it seems that all the tricks I did before with initd are deprecated now. I know it sounds inconsiderate to auto-login as root, but I'm setting up Fedora 15 in a closing environment where convenience tops safety.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have fedora 13 set up on a HP6715S laptop. Runlevel 3 is a problem, because the capital letters are the size of full stops. Reading a little, I can try a grub vga setting, but I am not keen as my screen is 1200x800 and X cannot set it otherwise, so I doubt grub could. There's KMS for radeon cards, and the kernel can do what it likes. The biggest font supplied with fedora is sun12x22, which doesn't even have a euro sign. I gather I can go to a height of 32. Anyone know of larger consolefonts, or a wheeze to double the size of one of the others, e.g. lat9w-16? setfont-h32 increases height, but not zoom, so it's like a double spaced console.
