Remmina can't connect to a "dormant" VNC account
Howdie, fellow Debianites!
This post is about two stock Squeeze installs and establishing a remote
desktop VNC connection between them. I'm using the stock Remmina client
for connecting from a Squeeze laptop to a Squeeze desktop. However, I
wanted to have a remote connection while letting any local user remain
logged on locally on the server. As it is, I can only connect remotely
when no user is at the remote machine, i.e. I can only connect to the
foreground account on the remote machine. Otherwise, all I get on the
client is a black screen. The tab in Remmina says I'm logged onto
guest@remoteserver, but the Remmina window just stays black. Is this
the intended mode of operation? Or, in other words: can I connect to a
"background" remote session, leaving the foreground session/user
unaffected? I don't want to have to kick local users off just in order
to be able to connect remotely. What must I do to achieve that? It was
my understanding that, with VNC, you could even have *several* users
connected remotely at the same time? I can't seem to even have *one*...
P.S. Yes, I *have* logged out and in again. Still no dice.
TIA
