Linux Linux to Linux VNC problem

In Fedora I was able to get the VNC service running by doing the following things:

# vncpasswd

# vncserver

then append this:

# echo "startkde &" >> /root/.vnc/xstartup

To verify if the service is running

# netstat -lnpt |grep Xvnc

But I was only able to VNC from Windows machine to a Linux machine. Linux to Linux was not working for some weird reason or may be a bug in the RealVNC(default in Fedora) package.

But then i did some searching and I found the solution:

Generate a password:

# vncpasswd

Start the service using this command:

# x0vncserver -PasswordFile /root/.vnc/passwd

Now the damn thing works from Linux to Linux using vnc client:

# vncviewer

:)

Just wanted to share this with those who were breaking their heads like me ;)

Regards.
