Desktop Environment on Pogo

[sjwoo]

I've taken a look at the VNC wiki page, but I must still be missing something. Via pacman, I've installed TightVNC, x11vnc, and GDM. What I want is to be able to connect from my desktop to my pogo via GUI. When I try to start vncserver, this is what I get:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@pogolinux /]# vncserver :1
Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path.
Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script.
Couldn't start Xvnc process.

Any help would be much appreciated. Primarily, I wanted my Pogo to be a Samba server, and it's doing that quite nicely, but this would be icing on the cake.

Running X on a plug is not going to work especially well, just so you know. However, your problem looks to be like you're missing at least one or two xorg packages. Installing 'xorg-server' should pull in the requisite packages.

Thanks, man -- looking much better:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@pogolinux ~]# vncserver :0

New 'X' desktop is pogolinux:0

Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/pogolinux:0.log
')

When I log in, I just see a blank screen, though. The mouse does work! My .xstartup file looks like this:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#!/bin/sh

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1')

What else am I missing?

Question, what do you guys use the desktop environment for? I really don't see a benefit in using something like this...
