The problem is that Xdialog is not installed. The error message is only displayed on the console because without Xdialog the script is not able to display any windows.
Anyway dependencies should be updated accordingly.


Thanks for identifying the problem. I do use it because it's very handy in ...

Just installed 13.37 XFCE (32 bit) and got it working after first attempting to upgrade from 13.0, which resulted in quite a few problems. I can't remember all the issues, but I ended up just doing a clean install in the end. Anyway, I used the sg2conf utility to setup Grub2 for a multiboot system ...

OK. Here is how to get a full desktop in vncserver with LXDE window manager:

#!/bin/sh

# Slackware Linux VNC session startup script
#
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

# Another example of setting up desktop environment
#
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup ...

OK, got it to work. Here is how to change the .vnc/xsetup file:


#!/bin/sh

# Slackware Linux VNC session startup script
#
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

# Another example of setting up desktop environment
#
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r ...

Yes, that is true. I have SSH installed. However, since vncserver works on another distro, I'm trying to do the same with with Salix. So it's not just a matter of need, but of understanding and solving a problem.

I used x11vnc and it works. I forgot to mention that in my post. I want tightvnc because most of the time, I want only a terminal window and not the full desktop. The slackware .vnc/xsetup file seems to be setup differently from other distros.

How do I get tightvnc server working so I can see something on the viewer on another PC? I am able to connect to the server but all I get is a gray crosshatched screen. I'm using Salix LXDE. I don't care about a full desktop, just need an X terminal. Looked around other forums, but haven't figured ...

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for the info.

Dang. Didn't even know that was an option. I'm new to LXDE. Must have done it without realizing it. It works now. Thanks.
