After starting the vncserver in coLinux, I also tried launching konsole
and kcalc to see if my problem was that there aren't any gui
applications running.  When I type konsole at the command prompt, I get
the message: konsole: cannot connect to X server.

Thanks to many of you who responded to my last post.  It turns out that
I searched the archives last night and stumbled onto my mistake.  I had
forgotten to modify the .xml file when I reinstalled.  I tried to post a
retraction and my new problem last night but accidentally sent it to the
list admin instead of the list.  Setting up a network bridge was key and
worked well.
 
My new problem is that when I launch the vncserver, I only see a gray
cross-hatched background in windows.  I am a linux newbie, so I don't
know if there should be more, if I have launched anything that should
show up on the graphical screen or what.  Can someone please help me or
point me to a how-to page for my next steps.  I did try and create an
xstartup script that is in the /root/.vnc directory that consists of two
lines:
#!/bin/sh 
startkde &
 
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Subject: [coLinux-users] Help: colinux starts and immediately shuts down
 
Please help me.
 
I was trying to follow the instructions here:
http://www.colinux.org/wiki/index.php/GettingStartedLong to get started.
I have been having problems getting the networking to work and had tried
it a couple of times.  I decided to start over and uninstall everything.
Now when I double-click on the colinux.bat file, a command window pops
up and seems to scroll through the usual stuff, but then it immediately
shuts down.  Can you help me trouble shoot/solve this problem please.
 
I am running Windows XP Pro.  My networking situation is slightly
complicated.  We have a router that needs to be 192.168.0.1, so I don't
think I can use that address for the colinux TAP connector.  I am trying
to use the 1gb Debian file (I also tried the GenToo deluxe).
 
I don't know what information to provide, so please feel free to send me
additional questions.
