Setting up Gnome, VNC

wildwobby · 2007-11-18 18:26:48

Ok, so I tried install Gnome and VNC today... but im a total nub.

When I run

startx

It tells me:

hostname: Unknown host
xauth: creating new authority file /home/wildwobby/.serverauth.6733

So I guess if I can get gnome working first and then work on VNC it would be better.... how do I fix this though?

Thanks!

This is an xorg problem. Not a gnome problem. Have you configured X? I recommend using "X -configure" with the latest Xorg.

Hey,

Fixed something!

It doesnt give any errors, but just a black screen with an X movable by the mouse? I assume this means Xorg is running but gnome isnt?

How do I get gnome running? I installed it...

hmm, I rebooted,

I think I have GDM starting on boot.... it started, but it comes up with a gray screen with a watch and flickers a bunch of time then a blue screen saying it has "shutdown 6 times within the last 90 seconds, it is likely something bad has happend. wait 2 minutes before starting again."

In ~/.xinitrc put "exec gnome-session"

SOLVED:
got the same problem
after upgrade i started my pc and gdm started but i could not login to X, got these

AUDIT: Tue Jan 15 17:55:12 2008: 6792 X: client 1 rejected from local host (uid 1000)

found out that root cause is some glx module that was broken. re-installed the NVIDIA driver and all sorted.
