I connect to one of my work computers by VNC using the following
Code:
vncviewer -via username@server_ip 127.0.0.1:xx -geometry 1300x800
I use this practically everyday to connect to our server and it ALWAYS worked fine with my F17 installation which has tigervnc 1.1
Now, I tried the same thing in my F18 installation and all I get is
Code:
$ vncviewer -via username@server_ip 127.0.0.1:xx -geometry 1300x800

PreferredEncoding and FullColor are not specified.
(default=1)
passwd - Alias for PasswordFile

No errors. All that appears is what I have posted above. The exact command still works without any problems on F17 installation.
What can I do to connect? Should I adjust any firewall settings? I have no clue what's going on!
Thanks!
