Package: tightvncserver Version: 1.3.9-4 Followup-For: Bug #476727
there was some info about a possible workaround for Ubuntu, and I attempted this myself. When I remove 'gnome-session' from the .vnc/xstartup file and substitute the following 5 commands gnome-wm & gnome-panel & nautilus -no-default-window & gnome-cups-icon & gnome-volume-manager & the desktop loads (for the most part) without icons or background bitmap and I'm able to run applications (like gnome-terminal) and the keyboard seems to work ok. If I subsequently run 'gnome-session' then the problem appears. gnome-session is rather complex and it appears to be looking for settings that tightvncserver isn't supplying. I have also seen frequent resizing of fonts etc. while typing if gnome-session is running. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tightvncserver depends on: ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii perl 5.10.0-16 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii x11-common 1:7.3+18 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii xbase-clients 1:7.3+18 miscellaneous X clients - metapack ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages tightvncserver recommends: ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.0-5 standard fonts for X Versions of packages tightvncserver suggests: pn tightvnc-java <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
