Hello everyone,
I have an air cooled G5 as my media/web/time machine server running 10.5.8
My father and I screen share from a variety of computers, all macs 10.6+
With the graphics card installed, the screen sharing works flawlessly on both accounts and when switching between each.
I'm attempting to run the machine without the graphics card to save energy because the server runs headless anyway. The computer will start up fine, and runs well as long as I stay in only one user account. As soon as I try to access the other account using fast user switching, the screen goes to "Reconnecting..." and never returns.
I'm troubleshooting now, when I restart screen sharing is fine to the login window, then as i login to my account it is fine. I tried turning "Remote Managment" on because it has been off, but now it's prompting me for my password that I know is correct, but it's refusing it.
Chicken of the VNC works nearly every time, just as OS X Screen Sharing, but fails at the same points. This tells me it's probably an issue with the VNC server on the G5.
Anyone has any experience with this? Thanks!
