    Hi guys

    Hoping someone can help me out here. I've just updated my FC5 install using yum and I can no longer start a VNC server. I've taken a look at the logs and attached it below. It looks to me that there is a problem with gnome, but I don't really know enough about it.

    If anyone could give me a pointer I would be most greatful.

    Code:
    Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
    _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root

    Code:
    ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb
    ,
    Code:
    ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver
    and
    Code:
    ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
