| Post subject: | VNC Connection is Denied |
Hello, I am new to the whole PVR and Linux community, so I am sorry for any stupid questions that I may ask. My buddy helped me get my machine kind of set up but I don't want to have to leave a keyboard and mouse hooked up. I tried to connect to the machine by IP using RealVNC but it says Connection Denied. What am I doing wrong? |

Do you get a password prompt? or just pbphlt -- denied! ? Is your VNC Client Windows, or Linux? Are you sure you have the command line correct? For me, from my Windoze box the shortcut is: Code: "C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\vncviewer.exe" 192.168.1.9:0
If I had to guess from the limited info, I'm guessing you missed the :0 at the end of the IP address, this says connect to display ":0" -- the console display. On linux boxes you can also configure the VNC server to create more displays than just the console. These would get other numbers associated with them. |

I am not sure what was going on. It works fine now that is really wierd. The only thing I have changed since I tried last was setting the server up as a static IP using /etc/network/interfaces. Is there a way to change the default password for the viewer? |

I figured it out I needed to change Code: {/usr/bin/x11vnc -nap -wait 50 -passwd mythtv -display :0 -forev$ to[app] (SDL_App) Code: {/usr/bin/x11vnc -nap -wait 50 -passwd mypassword -display :0 -forev$ in /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps
[app] (SDL_App) |
