A weird thing started ocurring for three days now after I installed TigerVNC and KRFB.
It is Mageia 2 64bit
I have installed KRFB first to check whether someone can connect and use my computer effectively from Syria, maybe you all know the situation there so I am trying to offer them some help! Anyways; KRFB has some limitations like the invitation thing and validity, where this is quite unhandy for them; and for me too..so i tried the vnc-server which works quite fine except for the weird thing that is happeneing now to my panel.
My resolution is 1440x900, the panel is in the upper side of my desktop, auto-hidden, centered and almost occupying 80% of the 1440.
Now every time I reboot, the panel is full size, i.e. 1440, and the net_applet tray icon never shows up untill I kill the process and start the net_applet again. In the preferences of the net_applet I made sure that it gets launched at start-up, which is obviously done, except that its icon is not there.
Has this anything to do with VNC? I am pretty sure that this is the only change I made prior to this weird behaviour.
I forgot to mention that at first the panel shrank tothe minimum loosing the task bar before that..!
Here is the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers of mine:
- Code: Select all
# The VNCSERVERS variable is a list of display:user pairs.
#
# Uncomment the lines below to start a VNC server on display :2 as
# 'myusername' (adjust this to your own). You will also need to set a
# VNC password; run 'man vncpasswd' to see how to do that.
#
# DO NOT RUN THIS SERVICE if your local area network is untrusted! For
# a secure way of using VNC, look for 'sshvnc' or other tools
# Use "-nolisten tcp" to prevent X connections to your VNC server via
# TCP.
# Use "-nohttpd" to prevent web-based VNC clients connecting.
# Use "-localhost" to prevent remote VNC clients connecting except when
# doing so through a secure tunnel. See the "-via" option in the `man
# vncviewer' manual page.
# VNCSERVERS="2:myusername"
# VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600 -nolisten tcp -localhost"
VNCSERVERS="1:syria"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1152x864"
How can I make it persistent again without having to delete the whole configuration to get a fresh one?
Thank you guys
