I am using Debian. Once I log into the desktop from the console I can then VNC to it from a remote host.

Is it possible to set it so I can log in remotely without having to log into the console first?

Thanks

Simi

I don't think so. The actual name is xvnc which only runs after X windows has started.

Xvnc is a separate X server, so I'm surprised its dependent on you logging on via the console. You should be able to start it from the boot-time init scripts, i.e. by adding the appropriate vncserver command to your rc.local file or similar.

Annihilannic.
