Thread: x11vnc before X (And yes, I searched!)


i have machine not have physical access to. running ubuntu 10.04. access via ssh , have had no problems time. however, recent need access via vnc has come , unable working. reference, tightvnc works expected not allow me functionality need. need x11vnc working.

first thing did of course google solution , closest thing find seems out of date. if me following apprecaited.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/vn...c-before-login

first problem encounter: must edit file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom not disconnect me after logging in. far can tell file not exist. (another site suggested /etc/gdm/custom.conf can't find file looks remotely in directory )

next problem occurs when attempt use suggested -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.xauth switch. invalid. tried suggested switches -auth /var/gdm/:0.xauth , -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.xauth no avail. took x11vnc's suggestion , ps wwwwaux | grep auth not find promising.

under sudo of course.

please gentle, i'm still relatively new remote access on ubuntu.

edit: -auth guess not work either.

is x server and/or gdm running on machine?
