SOLVED: VNC screen size

[trebor]

From the following page:
http://zeusville.wordpress.com/2012/01/ ... fedora-16/

It states:
"In the past I would edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
, with systemd the process is quite different."

Perhaps the following file:
/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:4.service
needs to be created, enabled, and then started in order for changes in resolution to be made...

Your thoughts?

Also,

Code:
ln -sf /home/firstadminuser/.vnc/*4.pid /var/run/vncserver-4.pid

worked for fixing the control panel status for VNC. Is there a similar fix for OpenVPN? My OpenVPN is working fine, but the control panel says that it is stopped... Perhaps the symlink for the openvnc pid is broken as well?

This is already in place, or so I thought. Seems to me when you run the service, it generates a symlink to that location. I may be wrong, so will need to verify.

No as it should be in /var/run/openvpn by default. Try executing this command as root user:

Code: Select all

chmod 755 /var/run/openvpn

It seems changing the screen size in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers does nothing in Fedora 19. What I ended up doing is once connected to the HDA with VNC, look for displays and change resolution there.

Once I did that, it scaled down automatically.

Duh. Don't know why I didn't think to do that. That obviously solved the problem. Thanks.
