starting VNCserver at bootup

[VariEze]

Can anybody tell me what to put in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
to get the vncserver to start at bootup?

I've tried

/root/my-applications/bin/vncserver -geometry 800x600

but it asks for a password, even though the password was set with vncpassword long ago.

Where and how do I direct it to the password file?

You can try editing .xinitrc instead (NB. I found these instructions elsewhere in the forum):

To autostart vncserver on boot (and run at 1024x768):

edit /root/.xinitrc
write at the end of file (before exec $CURRENTWM)

Code: Select all

vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24

This works for me. Also, I've only had to set the password once.

You can invoke the TightVNC server manually through the menu [RemoteAccess] and change the password there.
