| Post subject: | VNC display grey screen |
Running RE50 and trying to access my knoppmyth box from ubuntu 6.10 with vnc viewer. When it load I only see a grey screen. This used to work fine with nx client. <minor grumble> Here is output from terminal alexvd@alexvd-tabletpc:~$ vncviewer 192.168.11.50 VNC viewer version 3.3.7 - built Jul 4 2006 10:04:48 Copyright (C) 2002-2003 RealVNC Ltd.

Hi just to be clear on this. It opens another window. I can see a mouse cursor, however the background is pixelated grey boxes and if I right click I don't get any menus. I did not do anything on the backend to enable vnc server. I thought that it was installed and ready to go at startup. All you need is the viewer. should i try another vnc app like tightvnc or something. I am just going to the terminal right now running at the command line. |

Don't know (in R5D1 I had to install vncserver, IIRC), but it's easy enough to check. On the backend runCode: ps -ef | grep -i vnc and see what shows up.

Sorry for the double post. I was pretty sure it was running as you can see in the above post that it authenticates. I ran the command anyway. Thanks root@mythtvmasterbackend:~# ps -ef | grep -i vnc mythtv 2915 1 0 Jan01 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/x11vnc -nap -wait 50 -display :0 -forever -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -bg root 4530 4520 0 13:54 ttyp0 00:00:00 grep -i vnc |

You say this is your backend, do you have mythfrontend running on it (and on display :0)? |

well primarily what i want to do is run mythtv-setup so I would be exiting the frontend. I will verify. |

Hi this was solved. I was at a root prompt trying to vnc in and that was the cause. Thanks for pointing that out. |
