Why VNC not showing actual Remote Desktop
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Ok i installed vnc server on RHEL 5.9 and also installed Tightvnc viewer on windows 7 and from RHEL i started vncserver and assigned the password using vncpasswd.
Then from tightvnc viewer i gave the IP and listening port xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1. It successfully connected with VNC server installed and running on RHEL. And then I gave the password and then BOOOM it gave me this hideous interface
When Actual Desktop is like this
Ok people tell me what Im missing

What you see probably is the X11 session defined in ~/.vnc/xstartup, a minimal X11 session, maybe something like (this is how it looks like on Debian)
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-window-manager &
on another display, probably :1.
There're two things you can do:
- To access a different desktop that looks the same, you have to start it in this
xstartupfile, e.g.
withexec gnome-sessionor something similar, have a look for
documentation onxinitrcorxsession[rc]) - To access the same desktop session, you need a different VNC server.
x11vnccan do desktop sharing; in your GNOME environment, Vino is probably the preferable choice (as Ignacio pointed out)

Great info. Just one quick question I have three users on server and I want only TWO users to have access to vnc server. root and emerg users can use the vnc. HOW TO DO THIS

(If I guessed the VNC server you use right,) you might be able to useXvncwithinetdas described in its man page (last paragraph of the linked section). Another (kind of high-overhead but neat) solution might be using the Guacamole remote desktop gateway and configuring access there.

I faced the same issue on solaris 11 and after a little search I found out the gnome desktop is not even installed. So I installed it using:
pkg install --accept solaris-desktop
Then killed the running vnc-server:
vncserver -kill :1
and after running vnc again using this command
vncserver -kill :1
I was able to see the real desktop using vnc-viewer.

I faced the same issue on solaris 11 and after a little search I found out the gnome desktop is not even installed. So I installed it using:
pkg install --accept solaris-desktop
Then killed the running vnc-server:
vncserver -kill :1
and after running vnc again using this command
vncserver -kill :1
I was able to see the real desktop using vnc-viewer.
