Vnc Server does not start on Fedora Core 11?

  • 772

I am trying to get VNC server on a fedora core 11 box and can't get it to run. The log contents are below. Any ideas what should be done here?

Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'

I am using RealVNC - Downloaded the package from its website and unzipped it. Copied the binary images to /usr/bin.

  1. Looking around the Web for references to your error message, I couldn't find any obvious solutions, but I think it may be that the RealVNC package isn't compatible with the X libraries used in Fedora 11. I'd recommend uninstalling RealVNC and trying TigerVNC (installed via yum), as this will have been tested to be compatible with Fedora 11.
