X11 Failed to load module "vnc"

Post by llwb » 2017/07/26 06:45:10

I am trying to setup vnc for CentOS6.6
however when I reboot the PC the vnc is not loaded up by grepping the log file i got the following error
#grep -i "EE" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[ 25.805] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so: undefined symbol: LoadExtensionList
[ 25.805] (EE) Failed to load module "vnc" (loader failed, 7)
here is the xorg.conf I changed:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Videocard0"
        Driver "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Module"
        Load  "vnc"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24

        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
        Option "UserPasswdVerifier" "VncAuth"
        Option "SecurityTypes" "VncAuth"
        Option "PasswordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd" 

EndSection

CentOS 6.6 is out of date and riddled with security problems, some serious. You should yum update to 6.9 ASAP.

Your problem looks like one that might be caused by partially installing some portions of a newer version (6.9) while the rest of your system is backlevel at 6.6.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
