I'm trying to figure how to view the console of a Fedora linux server by using vnc. In other words, I'm trying to see what a user normally sees as if they were physically sitting in front of the computer. As of now, I ssh in and run /usr/bin/vncserver, it seems to be starting ok.
in the log file I have
vnc log show only:
Xvnc version 4.0 - built Jan 8 2005 16:57:17
Underlying X server release 60700000, The X.Org Foundation
error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
When I use a vncviewer from windows and do :3, it gives me X with a cmdline which doesn't really help me. I need to see what is on the console so I can see the menu options running on it. Any ideas how i can do this?
Update: When I run
startkde &
I get the following:
[1] 4144 root@server1 .vnc]# which: no fs in ('usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin) /usr/binstartkde: line 16: [: argument expected Note enough free disk space on /tmp
startgnome just gives me a command not found error..
