<0> failed to connect to server
<1> something must have failed. you have done everything you need to do
<1> go back and look it over again
<0> i did an nmap scan of localhost and saw vnc was on more than it should be, so i pkilled it, and did vncserver again
<1> you probably moved it from :5902 to :5901 when you did that
<1> i dont remember telling you to do that... :-) go back and build another forward in putty for 5901
<1> leave 5902 it wont hurt anything
<0> ok im in ssh..Tunnels - Forwarded ports L5901 localhost:5902 -
<0> i can just leave it ?
<1> now, reconnect via ssh to the linux box, minimize the window and try your vncviewer again. this time you can try both, localhost:5901 and localhost:5902
<1> the server will be on one or both of them
<0> nmap shows 5901/tcp open vnc-1
<0> 127.0.0.1:5901 failed to connect to server
<0> same with 127.0.0.1:5902 failed as well
<1> there are 3 steps to this 3 and only 3
<1> start vncserver note the port it connects to
<1> ssh to the machine and forward that port
<1> start vncviewer and connect to the forwarded port
<0> when I vncserver it just says new 'X' desktop is tux:1
<1> good
<0> on my linuxbox
<0> ill ssh to the machine
<0> you showed me how to forward the ports....
<0> i even input myip:5901
<1> it will take me a minute, but im going to install it fresh and walk through it with you
<0> P38: i love you
<0> For I am greatful
<1> are you female and have large breasts ?
<0> I think we went through this before
<0> (Logan..allina)
<1> k just checking
<0> it could be me though, if nmap says that vnc-1 is on port 5901 and putty's config shows the source port as 5902 and the localhost:5902....
<0> shouldn't the source port maybe be 5901 :S ?
<2> Logan5: did you even read the url I gave you?
<0> Yeah thanks
<3> Anyone play with VMWare?
<2> and follow the instructions?
<0> Yeah I just edited my source port to 5901, and destination to localhost:5995
<1> logan5: i had you forward 5901 -> localhost:5901 and 5902 -> localhost:5902
<1> BOTH
<0> Both of them?
<0> ok man
<4> i might
<4> Ow! that was my penultimate groin ;(
<0> P38: I just forwarded 5901 -> localhost 5995 is that ok?
<4> Take one little step left.
<1> logan5: here is the trick. if im going to help you, you have to understand that i can only ***ume you are doing what i suggest. if you dont, then you are on your own
<0> i just added them both
<0> and logged in - after i saved it
<0> Then I went to vnc viewer localhost:1
<0> and its asking for a p***wd :D ?
<1> there you go
<0> Wicked Thanks P38 :D
<1> when you originally ran vncserver, it asked for a p***word
<0> say i'm at school and i download vncviewer - i can't just open localhost:1
<5> BoReD
<0> also: Is there a way to load Fluxbox ? I only see X ,is it even possible to see fluxbox on vnc?
<1> yes in your ~/.vnc/ there is a file that will run when you start vncserver
<1> that is where you set your preferred desktop
<1> "xstartup"
<0> OH yeah
<1> mine has /usr/bin/fluxbox &
<0> so on the vnc can i just type xstartup in terminal and execute fluxbox or :S
<0> oh i edit it
<1> no you run vncserver on the remote machine. vncserver runs the xstartup script
<0> ...my remote machine is just showing Normal X
<0> should I add something to my xstartup so vncviewer will load fluxbox when I connect ?
<1> ----> /usr/bin/fluxbox & <------ hint hint hint
<1> not when you connect... when it starts
<0> P38: I just added /usr/bin/fluxbox & to my xstartup
<1> yes
<0> do you mind if i show you what i have on pastebin
<1> no, i dont mind
<0> http://pastebin.com/584150
<0> I'll exit vncviewer on my winbox and restart if that's how the xstartup should be
<0> restart vncviewer-
<1> you are starting two desktop managers... you dont need the twm
<1> also, but the desktop last
<1> s/but/put/
<0> /usr/bin/fluxbox & <-- last ?
<1> yes
<0> s/but/put/ ?
<0> I saved that, and vncviewer still shows the usual X... is there anything else I need in the xstartup?
<1> no

<6> <nerdX> i went for my first choice interview at 9 this morning and by 11 they called.. asked how my interview went.. i said pretty good.. they asked what i would say if she told me she selected me. i said i'd have to accept. hah. apparently it didn't take my now new employer long at all to decide. quite flattering really. :) <webany>so you are starting in McDonalds tomorrow ?
<2> **qotd33
<6> <square1> im not dumb enough to run norton :) <@Sh4dowcat> but you're dumb enough to run Windows
<2> **qotd34
<6> <Randall> Jy, what distro <Jy> Randall: slack of course <4> Boom.
<2> **qotd45
<6> Sh4dowcat: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
<2> **qotd35
<6> Sh4dowcat: I give up, what is it?
<2> **qotd35 is <reply> <Feudel> isnt gigabit lan for like super fast UNDEVELOPED internet?
<6> Sh4dowcat: okay
<0> P38: just to be sure, heres what I have in my xstartup again

<4> nigel
<1> after you have made your changes do chmod 755 ~/.vnc/xstartup
<4> *spangle*
<4> Blblblbl.
<0> P38: ok im going to exit vnc on my winbox and restart vnc
<0> i was expecting fluxbox LOl
<0> P38: yeah it loaded X again :(
<0> still pretty amazing :)
<0> P38: so ~/.vnc/xstartup determines if fluxbox loads or X loads
<1> logan5: yes
<0> P38: so my xstartup is correct....why would it keep loading X...
<1> have you restarted the vncserver
<0> !!
<4> O_O
<0> P38: Bah, still X desktop
<1> what do you mean by "X desktop"
<0> However I did that in root...
<1> root's vncserver is different from your user's vncserver
<0> it's just normal X - like what you have when you have nothing installed and you startx and you get a green little terminal window
<1> root's vncserver is different from your user's vncserver
<0> WOW SWEET
<0> Thaat is aawesome :D
<0> P38: Man, i only have one more thing to ask you
<1> majic
<0> How would I connect from the internet- like my school or something
<0> i couldn't just localhost:1 ---
<0> I've tried myip:1 but that didn't work
<1> you dont want to do that. vnc p***es cleartext p***words across the network. you ONLY want to connect to vnc through a ssh connection
<0> P38: I couldn't use putty and vncviewer on my school network and connect?
<0> wouldn't that be vnc through ssh
<1> yes that is what i said. what i thought you were asking was how to connect to your vnc without using ssh
<0> OH so that would just work
<0> so if I set up putty, forwarded those ports...then used vncviewer and input localhost:1 it would work ?
<1> you should be able to connect to any machine at your school that has ssh and vncviewer
<0> probably not, i tried myip:1 failed
<1> i dont understand
<0> Sorry
<0> okay, im at school, i ssh to my comp with Putty, then with vncviewer I ____ ... ?
<0> can I just try to connect to myip:1 ?
<0> i couldn't use localhost:1 --- not on a school computer
<1> well you use putty to forward your vnc port from your server back to the machine you are connecting from. then you run vncviewer localhost:port
<0> Oh Okay :D
<0> again man, Thanks so much for helping me
<1> np
<0> This is So Cool
