You gave the rpm -e command a file name. It wants a package name. Just because the file is called VNC-Server-5.1.1-Linux-x64.rpm doesn't mean the package is called the same thing. I can rename the file all I want, and when I install it, the package will still have the original name (in this case, realvnc-vnc-server, version 5.1.1.17550, release 1, with an x86_64 architecture).

  • Yes, absolutely, Thanks!!, i removed vnc with the package name. But how do i find the config file? isn't it supposed to be at `/etc/sysconfig/vncservers` ? – user223831 Jun 04 '14 at 19:04
  • If you've remove the package, the config file may not be there any longer. The config file is probably in the payload (`rpm -ql realvnc-vnc-server` while it's installed), but might be ghosted and not show up. – John Jun 04 '14 at 19:07
  • If the intent is to re-install theres a greate EZ guide at http://www.1337admin.org/linux/configuring-vnc-server-the-easy-way-in-linux/ – Brad Nov 22 '15 at 03:14
