Installing and configuring VNC in centos

1. Check whether the VNC client and server have been installed:

[Gavin @ centos ~] $ Rpm-q vnc-Server

Package VNC is not installed

Vnc-server-4.0-8.1

Cent OS 5 already contains the VNC installation package

2. Add the user name to the configuration file:

(Note: The "User Name" here refers to the name of a Linux User)

[Gavin @ centos ~] # Vi/Etc/sysconfig/vncservers

#

# Uncomment the line below to start a VNC Server on display: 1

# As my 'myusername' (adjust this to your own). You will also

# Need to set a VNC password; run 'man vncpasswd' to see how

# To Do That.

#

# Do not run this service if your local area network is

# Untrusted! For a secure way of using VNC, see

# Http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html>.

# Vncservers = "1: myusername"

# Vncservers = "1: Gavin 2: John" # Use the method for more user

Vncservers = "1: Gavin 2: Root 3: Root"

# Vncserverargs [1] = "-geometry 800x600"

Vncserverargs [1] = "-geometry 1024x768"

3. Set the password for Gavin.

[Gavin @ centos ~] $ Vncpasswd

Password:

Verify:

4. Start the VNC service

[Gavin @ centos ~] #/Sbin/service vncserver start

Starting VNC Server: 1: Gavin [OK]

5. Enter the command

[Gavin @ centos ~] $ Cd ~ /. VNC/

[Gavin @ centos. VNC] $ VI xstartup

#! /Bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:

# Unset session_manager

# Exec/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[-X/etc/VNC/xstartup] & exec/etc/VNC/xstartup

[-R $ home/. Xresources] & xrdb $ home/. Xresources

Xsetroot-solid gray

Vncconfig-iconic &

# Xterm-geometry 80x24 + 10 + 10-ls-title "$ vncdesktop desktop "&

Gnome-session & # Set starting GNOME Desktop

# Startkde & # KDE Desktop

# TWM & # text interface

6. Restart vncserver

[Gavin @ centos ~] #/Sbin/service vncserver restart

Shutting down VNC Server: 1: Gavin [OK]

7. log on to the VNC Server in Windows

(1). Log On from IE

Enter the following address in IE:

Http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: 5802

Enter the password.

(2). Log On from VNC View

Install VNC view on Windows, enter XXX. XXX: 2, connect to log on, and enter the password.

NOTE: If connection refused (10061) is prompted when you log on from the VNC view, it is because of a Linux Firewall problem. log on to the centos system and select System --> preferences --> Remote Desktop, check the two items in sharing. If the two items are not checked, click Close and log on again with VNC view.
