Linux VNC server
* Note that this is for debian based distro’s.
If you want to connect to your desktop or server that is running X you can install a vnc server to do so..
We will use gdm and xinetd to get it working so that if you boot up the computer it should all work at once.
To install a vnc server you need atleast the following packages installed:
trouble@sun:$ apt-get install vnc4server gdm xinetd
Then you will need to add a new service to the services list in /etc/services
trouble@sun:$ vi /etc/services
--here add at the end of the file:
vncserver 5900/tcp # vnc server
--here add at the end of the file:
vncserver 5900/tcp # vnc server
Then you need to change the gdm.conf file
trouble@sun:$ vi /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
-- Here find the line [xdmcp] and change the option Enable=false to:
Enable=true
-- Here find the line [xdmcp] and change the option Enable=false to:
Enable=true
Then add a file in /etc/xinetd.d/ called vncserver
trouble@sun:$ vi /etc/xinetd.d/vncserver
here add:
service vncserver
{
disable = no
socket-type = stream
protocol = tcp
group = tty
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -once -fp unix/:7100 -securitytypes=none
}
here add:
service vncserver
{
disable = no
socket-type = stream
protocol = tcp
group = tty
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -once -fp unix/:7100 -securitytypes=none
}
Restart xinetd and you should be done..
trouble@sun:$ /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Try to connect to the box using a vnc viewer to :0
