Have anyone successfully configured VNC under FC5? I need help configuring VNC on my server. I can't seem to find any HOWTOs or guides on how to configure the VNC server. Where I can I download the VNC clients for Windows and Mac? Any tips, pointers, assistance, etc.. is greatly appreciated. Regards, A. Syadiqin
Basic VNC How to FC5 I have a working VNC setupon FC5: Here is where to downlaod windows & Mac clients http://www.realvnc.com/ No need for server side it is installed by default in FC5, Logon to FC5 using the logon you wish to access via VNC Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers and add these lines VNCSERVERS="3:$username" (***change $username to your logon name***) VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1024x768 -depth 16" If you wish to give more users the ability to connect via VNC add them like this VNCSERVERS="2:$username 3:$username3 4:$username4" VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1024x768 -depth 16" VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 800x600 -depth 8" VNCSERVERARGS[4]="-geometry 1024x768 -depth 16" As you may have noticed you can adjust screen resolution perconnection here! Note: the number assigned to thge desktop is relative to the connection port on the server so if you where $username3 you would set VNC client to connect on port 5903 Now in terminal under the users logon type # vncpasswd enter required Note: This password this is different to the FC5 password Then goto the users home directory /home/leopard/.vnc and edit the xstartup script and uncomment these lines (remove hashes infront of the line) unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc Then set the vncserver status o to start service at boot by this command # chkconfig vncserver on then restart vncserver with this command # service vncserver restart Make sure that your required ports are open and then you should be able to connect. Note: dont forget your port number when connecting with vnc client
