#OPEN IN TERMINAL KILLED SILENTLY IN VNC INSTALL#

Thanks, this works fine on Hardy 8.04.01 after a fresh install :) When I try 'vncviewer localhost:0' (or if I change the listen port to 5901 like the original instructions in the main post and do localhost:1) it shows me that it connected but I get a 'read: Connection reset by peer (104)' error.Įdit: No firewall or NAT, just a direct connection. Of course I do not intend to run X this way but I just wanted to see if it could connect.

So right now I am using PuTTY+xming to open X11 applications. I was never able to test of things worked locally because X11 obviously could not display. I am setting this all up remotely via SSH. VNC server is listening on port 5900 as it should but when I try to connect I get a 'server closed unexpectedly' error. SSH tunnel works fine because I used it in some other programs successfully.

But that's okay, I setup OpenSSH so that I can tunnel in. Here is my issue: I am trying to VNC into my Ubuntu box at home from work, which blocks a lot of ports. Running Hardy, and followed the instructions in the initial post.
