I am trying to access my Ubuntu Server with Chicken of the VNC. I have GNOME installed on the server to which I can get access if I log onto the server locally and COTVNC will discover the server then through Bonjour service. Yet if I restart the server and do not log in locally then I have issues where my VNC Client does not discover the server any longer through Bonjour and I cannot connect even with manually inputting the IP address. I get Connection timed out error message from the client.

Any ideas how I can get around this as I do not want to have a keyboard and mouse connected to this server as it will be used as a media server?

Thanks

You need to start vnc server as a seperate service via /etc/init or /etc/init.d, and not as part of the session.
