X11 on the plug

[jmknapp]

1.) the keyboard layout does not map correctly from my vnc client to the vnc server.  When I type 'asdf', I get 'abfh'  I've tried to find a solution via Google... no luck yet.  Hopefully someone has seen and resolved this before?

I had that issue too... weird thing, but an easy fix. See this web page:

Bottom line, this is the easiest solution--just execute this from the command line:

# gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts --type List --list-type String [aa]

saw this link - http://blog.yclian.com/2007/12/3-solutions-to-gnomevnc-keyboard.html

Strange... the last line in the ./.vnc/xstartup file was '/etc/X11/Xsession'  and *not* 'gnome-session &'

changing this line made it work...

all set now

maybe it will help someone else

what is the keyboard issue?

i tried it once and worked without issues.

do you have the keymap configured correctly? (i think once you are asked you should leave that to what apt-get defaults to).

Could you please post your xstartup file here. I am a newbie and need some help setting up mine.


here is what mind shows

#!/bin/sh

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#x-window-manager &
/etc/X11/Xsession
