What is wrong in my cfg ?
Thanks...

usually this kind of thing is supposed to be taken up on the forums ...
but while its here why dont you post your config files

where is the forum you mean ? (thanks)

My cfg is very simple, Gentoo 1.2/gcc 2.95.3 (just installed)
the USE var is empty (in make.conf) athlon tb 1400 /256mb ram.
I don't know what other info do you mean, but i'm glad to tell you if you ask :)

Many other users have this type of problem, (from TightVNC ML) so,isn't
an isolated problem.

Thanks for attention.

could you post the config file: /etc/init.d/vncserver

i have tightvnc on my comp and havent had a problem with it ...

but did you have tightvnc v. 1.2.5 ?
i have not any cfg into dir /etc/init.d/ :-(

hmm i guess i made the /etc/{init,conf}.d/vncserver files and just forgot i 
did ;)

how are you starting up the vncserver ?

Finally FIXED !!!

TightVNC v.1.2.5

edit the vncserver perl script :

line 70 , change the line:

if (!xauthorityFile) {

into

if (!$xauthorityFile) {

now, all works OK ! :)

(thanks to a friend of mine (nick poisson) for this fix !)

not fixed until the version that everyone emerge's is fixed ;)

ok ;-)

Fixed in tightvnc-1.2.5-r1.

--Donny

fine thanks :-)

seems that this patched version doesn't emerge well...

a patch file exists to modify the vncserver script to make it play properly 
with Gentoo ... it is applied in the src_install() function

in -r1, a src_unpack() function was added to fix this bug, but the patch 
command was copied to this function.  note, it was copied, not moved

so, the fix is to remove that patch command out of the src_install() function 
due to the fact that this would cause the ebuild to try to patch the same file 
with the same patch twice, plus src_unpack is a more logical location to patch 
files than src_install

I get the same problem with the new emerge.  The patch gets in the way.

SpanKY: Go ahead and fix this, if you would, since you're already familiar w/
it.

guess this was already done ... you guys want to make sure it works ?
