Where is the config file for VNC in R5E50? I need to know where to enable it and set the password. |

Check out /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps it is started from there. |

Is freenx included? If so, why add VNC? |

Freenx was replaced with VNC. |

Thank you for the information. I thought freenx was the better, faster product? |

Freenx may be better software, but I think most people (myself included) are much more familiar and comfortable with VNC. |

It says Code: nano /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default
/etc/gdm doesn't exist in R5E50. |

Oh, that bit is already taken care of. It should be started from your /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps file. If there's not an entry in there that says: Code: [startup] {/usr/bin/x11vnc -nap -wait 50 -passwd mythtv -display :0 -forever -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -bg}
Run the restore_fixups.sh script which will add it for you, then do a "pkill X11". |

I added Code: [startup] {/usr/bin/x11vnc -nap -wait 50 -passwd mythtv -display :0 -forever -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -bg} to Code: /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps
I still get "Failed to connect to server" when I type my Myth's IP address into TightVNC. |

After adding the line to .fluxbox/apps, have you restarted X? Otherwise it wouldn't have known about starting vnc. Bruce S. |

Did you verify that your router has port 5900 (standard VNC port) open and ported to the ip address of your mythbox (if mythtv is connected to a router)? If not connected to a router (you really should be) you will have to see if your internet service provider give access to port 5900. I have heard of some restricting/closing off port 5900. Also you have to make sure the ip address in TightVNC is the correct format, ie: http:://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx (or www.name here.com if using a url). Hope this help, and is correct (I am quite tired right now). |

Bruce S. Yes, I've also restarted the machine. I'm trying to access the machine from within my local network, so this isn't a router issue. I ran an nmap scan against my myth box and got the following results. VNC just isn't running. PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 80/tcp open http 111/tcp open rpcbind 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 445/tcp open microsoft-ds 6543/tcp open mythtv 6544/tcp open mythtv 10000/tcp open snet-sensor-mgmt I also tried again after executing /usr/bin/x11vnc but got the same results. |
