Most likely you do not have a window manager configured in your

~/vnc/xstartup file. *Mine, for example, looks like this:



#!/bin/sh



[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

xsetroot -solid grey

vncconfig -iconic &

startxfce4 &



My version of xtartup file is---#!/bin/sh (-)# Add the following line to ensure you always have an xterm available.( while true ; do xterm ; done ) &

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:unset SESSION_MANAGERexec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources

xsetroot -solid greyvncconfig -iconic &xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &twm &---*
I got this script form this tutorial on the cetos site. Do you see any error in this.






The last line starts up my window manager and desktop.

Have you tried freenx and either nxclient or the NX clients you can
download from http://www.nomachine.com for linux/windows/mac? It is
really much nicer than vnc for remote access.

Nothing apparent, but check that the twm manager is available. On the
server, what is the result of:

which twm

There appears to be a typo in your xstartup script:

> #!/bin/sh (-)

That should just be:
#!/bin/sh
