But. when I try to launch the vnc server, I get:

Font directory '/usr/lib/X11/fonts/ibm850/' not found - ignoring

of the symbol was not found.
gconf-sanity-check-2 did not pass, logging back out

Any help?

Thanks!

vncserver is just a shell script, and I've found that I had to go in and modify the font path that it passed.

1. Add font path and color database stuff here, e.g.:

#

1. $cmd .= " -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/";
2. $cmd .= " -co /usr/lib/X11/rgb";

#
$cmd .= " -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75
dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/ibm850/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/";
Makes sure that it points to font directories that you have installed.

1. ls /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ibm850

ls: 0653-341 The file /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ibm850 does not exist.

So you would remove that.

1. vi /opt/freeware/bin/vncserver

Play around a little and pay attention to error messages and you should be able to get this to work with no problem.

I got passed that error but I am still getting the "sanity" error when
running gmone-session.

I noticed that, on another system, there are other gnome processes that
are running that are not running on this system.

gnome-terminal
gnome-panel --sm-client-id default2

Are these started by gnome-session&

Could there be another process that should be running that gnome-session
depends upon,

Thanks!

Turns out there were "mis-matched" GNOME utils and library versions.

I uninstalled GNOME and reinstalled.

Everything works fine now.

Thanks for all of your help!
