1. Speed. Note that this is a NEW issue. Up until a day or two ago, I<br>was able to run VNC at a tolerable speed. Now, however, it seems to be<br>lagging tremendously. It takes practically forever just to see the<br>
mouse move. And NO settings were changed on the client. It should be<br>noted that I upgraded to Hoary right after the final release and that<br>this problem started occurring some time within the last week (I have<br>been on a vacation from VNC for the past week). This bothers me,
<br>however, because I commonly use the computer over VNC.</blockquote><div><br>
How are you starting the VNC server? Is it possible that some config settings got changed with the upgrade?<br>

<br>computer remotely. After a reboot, I am unable to access the computer<br>(graphically--I can still use SSH) until I can physically sit in front<br>of the computer and login to GNOME. Is there any way to get around<br>
this? My ideas (although I don't know how to do them) are the<br>following:<br> a) Modify some startup file to start the VNC server immediately so<br>that I can use it to login.</blockquote><div><br>
Not sure where you could put this, but I'm sure it's possible.
Personally, I don't like to have the vncserver running unless I'm going
to use it, so I do this one:<br>

</div></div>Check man vncserver, but you should be able to just do <br> vncserver<br>
<br>
at the prompt. (I use -depth 16, since that seems a lot snappier over the network)<br>
You could set up an SSH tunnel this way if you need to, too.<br><br>-- <br>chuk
