Good morning everybody.
I'd like to get some help on this.
I'm pretty new to Linux so please bear with me as I will try to be as detailed as poss able despite my limited skill level. That being said if there is other information you need give me the method of getting that info and I will provide.
System Specs: Linux 3.11.10-7-desktop.
openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64).
AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 945 Processor.
AMD Radeon HD 7750.
KDE Desktop.
KDM login.
Static Ip Configuration.
The issue revolves around as the title states Remote Administration.
I've been messing with this exclusively for about a week now to no avail. I setup as was intended by Yast Opened the firewall ports and figured I was good to go.
That however was not the case. It didn't matter what viewer I used on either Windows or Linux I was getting no love.
ultra vncviewer(Win) connects to ip x.x.x.x:5901 Connect then Crash
Remmina connects to ip x.x.x.x:5901 Connect then Crash
krdc connects to ip x.x.x.x:5901 Connect then Crash
so I look at my /etc/xinetd.d/vnc because I found some posts some what related but removing the -once option seemed to help. But then my attempt to resolve this started yielding other **** results. Long story shot here is where am at with this.
ultra vncviewer(Win) connects to ip x.x.x.x:5901
Connects asks for vnc server password (good) displays kdm login screen (good) authenticates then ..noting the kdm menus vanish and the default login background remains.
Remmina connects to ip x.x.x.x:5901
Connects asks for vnc server password (good) displays kdm login screen (good) authenticates then ..noting the kdm menus vanish and the default login background remains.
krdc connects to ip x.x.x.x:5901

Ive tried different geometry options, color depth's searched through tons of older seemingly useless posts from the goldendays looked for bugs. (all best i could mind you)
Then it occurred to me maybe it's a permissions problem or user problem so I log in as root and bam! This is what I get.

This is good news and bad for the following reasons. The good news is it proves the VNC server is in fact running multiple clients can connect and get roots desktop. However the bad news is this is not the behavior I desire or need. That being I want to access my standard users running session. I want to be able to be working on a project and if need be login in from campus and pick up where i left off.
So the question is how do we achieve that?
I appreciate the help in advance.
P.S Its funny this is the one thing left to configure to make my transition from windows 100% complete and its being the most bothersome. LMAO!
