Greetings- I am trying to connect to an Ubuntu 14.04 server from my Windows 10 machine. I followed the instructions posted at http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Install-VNC.html when I started vncserver for the first time, I got the following error message: "xauth: file /root/.Xauthority does not exist" I proceeded with the instructions as I did not know if it is going cause an issue. I was not able to connect, and checked the logs of the firewall on my host which is a McAfee product, and did not see the IP address of the Ubuntu server being blocked. Here is what is in the ./vnc/ logs file: * Sat Apr 9 22:01:03 2016 * vncext: VNC extension running! * vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5901 * vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 * error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy * Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/, removing from list! * Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list! * Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/, removing from list! * Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/, removing from list! * Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/, removing from list! * Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/, removing from list! * Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/, removing from list! * Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/, removing from list! * Window manager warning: Log level 32: could not find XKB extension. * * (gnome-settings-daemon:20161): power-plugin-WARNING **: Unable to start gsd_power manager:RANDR extension is too old (must be at least 1.2) * * (gnome-settings-daemon:20161): xrandr-plugin-WARNING **: Unable to start gsd_xrandr manager: RANDR extension is too old (must be at least 1.2) * * (gnome-settings-daemon:20161): color-plugin-WARNING **: Unable to start gsd_color manager:RANDR extension is too old (must be at least 1.2) * * (gnome-settings-daemon:20161): cursor-plugin-WARNING **: Unable to start gsd_cursor manager: XFixes cursor extension not available * * ** (gnome-settings-daemon:20161): WARNING **: Unable to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files * ** (process:20211): WARNING **: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: I think I read somewhere that I need to configure a user account for VNC? Is that true? I mean on the Ubuntu machine. Is my issue related to the fact that I just have root account right now?
