VNC on Kubuntu 8.04

[Jordi Ferrando Fabra]

Hi Rick,

This is how it works for me, vnc server 'windows stype', starts up with 
kde3.

1) Install the package x11vnc: $ sudo aptitide install x11vnc
2) Install the package vnc-common: $ sudo aptitude install vnc-common
3) Create a vnc password: $ vncpasswd
4) Edit /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup and add:
/usr/bin/x11vnc -forever -rfbport 5900 -bg -o /var/log/x11vnc.log 
-rfbauth /home/your_user_name/.vnc/passwd

Good luck
