Hi Ryan,

For that, you probably need to find out first on what 'DISPLAY', as it =
is called, the vncserver is running. This is something that I don't =
know, because I don't use it myself. It depends on how you start the =
vncserver as well; what is the command-line that you use for it?
=20
If you find out what is the proper value for DISPLAY, then you have to =
set the variable for all programs to use:
=20
export DISPLAY=3D...
=20
and then start konsole.

From another user on the mailing-list, Robert Citek, I found the =
following URL:
 <http://cwelug.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?CoLinux#v08> =
http://cwelug.org/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?CoLinux#v08
Search for the topic 'problems with vncserver'.
Success,

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.
=20
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=20
startkde &
=20
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Subject: [coLinux-users] Help: colinux starts and immediately shuts down
=20
Please help me.
=20
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.
=20
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).
=20
I don't know what information to provide, so please feel free to send me =
additional questions.
