I have a quick question, I've searched thru most of the posts having to do with vnc and cant seem to find the answer to my problem.
As root when I enter in vncpasswd into a terminal I get the error:
cannot write password file to /root/.vnc/passwd
If anyone had any insight as wo how I can correct this problem I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
John

Sorry,
I'm running Home 3.2. Also I just ran Magic last night, so everything seems to be up to date. FYI, I was getting the same error previous to the update.

whats the password for? when i use VNC they dont prompt me for any password.when i want to vnc to my computer then it does.but the default gentoox password is 'xbox' so it should work if u try that.

jjk212,
look if there is the file or folder
ls -al /root/.vnc (look for passwd file)
ls -al /root (see for .vnc directory)
if you dont find it then try to create the folder or/and file for it .
mkdir /root/.vnc
touch /root/.vnc/passwd
chmod 700 /root/.vnc/passwd
Maybe that will help. You can always change the permissions of /root/.vnc/passwd to 770 or 777 depending on what error you get after this
jahme... I think the password would be blank(empty). You can set the vncpassword by following the 2nd post in this topic...
hope that helps
