Thread: Start VNC server at boot and advertise via Avahi/Bonjour

i have problem believe 2 separate issues:


1. start vnc server @ login screen.

way remote desktop set up, must perform local login before can access machine. have wake-on-lan set up, able remotely turn on machine , vnc standard login window.

2. advertise vnc server under avahi/bonjour.

connect ubuntu machine via macbook pro running snow leopard. right now, when remote desktop running on ubuntu box shows in bonjour network devices on mac. excellent , easy way connect, , i'd love keep configuration.



suggestions? i've installed tightvncserver, don't know how configure properly/start @ boot. have avahi , running, , advertising afp file-sharing per how-to: http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/...achine-volume/

thank much!

hmm... far vnc on startup, should able doing this:

code:

sudo echo 'xtightvncserver' >> /etc/rc.local

note that's systemwide thing. so, if have 2 users, both able this. if works.

code:

sudo echo 'xtightvncserver' >> ~/.profile

this make run when log in.

of note, 'xtightvncserver' command may not correct, it's closest thing remember how start it...

edit: also, don't think need configure on vncserver. , have no idea avahi problem.
