    VNC problems

    Hi,

    I've been trying to get a VNC connection going for 2 days now with little success.

    The best I got was being able to connect and seeing a desktop but i couldn't open any apps, they tried to open (egg timer + taskbar name etc appeared) but nothing happened. I was using vnc-common and tightvncserver packages, both now removed. When vncserver was started applications also had trouble starting when I was directly logged into the box.

    Should also say that what I'm after is the ability to login over Internet to my Kubuntu, and also from a Windows box as well on the local network.

    Anyone able to offer any advice or help.

    Thanks!

    Found this great guide on this site, should have searched harder:

    http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=12376.0

    So that's the VNC connection working fine now, when I connect to it it brings up the KDE login screen and I can login as usual.

    How can I secure the connection so I can access over the internet?
