Install xfce + VNC in centos

First, install the desktop environment. I chose xfce, lightweight desktop, which is small and practical and does not occupy too much memory. (in terms of memory usage, xfce is less than KDE and KDE is less than gnome ).

Install xfce Desktop
At first, I thought that third-party software sources, such as rpmforge, should contain xfce desktops. As a result, it was a little surprising that they were included.

Open the corresponding link based on the system version:
Centos 5 32: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/
Centos 5 64-bit: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/
Centos 6 32: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/
Centos 6 64-bit: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/
Look for epel and you should find a epel-release-X-X.noarch.rpm package. Download and install it.

Install vncserver

[[Email protected] ~] # Yum install VNC-server (applicable to centos 5) [[email protected] ~] # Yum install tigervnc-server (applicable to centos 6)

Start vncserver

The first time you start vncserver, you need to enter the password twice.

[[email protected] mnt]# vncserverYou will require a password to access your desktops.Password:Verify:New ‘centos6.xman.org:1 (root)‘ desktop is centos6.xman.org:1Creating default startup script /root/.vnc/xstartupStarting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartupLog file is /root/.vnc/centos6.xman.org:1.log

Configure vncserver

Kill the VNC service and start configuring VNC

vncserver -kill :1

Modify the/etc/sysconfig/vncservers file.

VNCSERVERS="1:root"VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800x600"

Resolution can be adjusted based on actual conditions. Generally, 1024x768 (XP), 1366X768 (win7)

Note that this item must be manually modified. If you only use vncserver to start the instance, you cannot add a boot item.

To set multiple users, use the following format:

VNCSERVERS="1:one 2:two 3:three"VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800×600"VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800×600"VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 800×600"

Configure VNC Desktop

Modify the/root/. VNC/xstartup file and replace the file with the following:

#!/bin/sh/usr/bin/startxfce4

After saving, add the execution permission to xstartup:

chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup

After configuration, start vncserver:

vncserver

Run the following command to check whether port 5901 is Enabled:

netstat -lptn

Note that if the port is opened but cannot be connected, you must set firewall rules. Otherwise, the port 59xx cannot be connected.

Then, set the vncserver to automatically start upon startup. Enter the following:

chkconfig vncserver on

How to install Firefox in centos:

yum install firefox

In this way, the desktop can be accessed through vncviewer, reminding you that the server address of vncviewer is: IP: 1
