You can first go to RealVNC and sign up for a free account by providing a valid email address. The email address and password will be used later when you set up the VNC server. After you sign up for the account, you can activate a Home subscription for free. Then download and install VNC Connect on each remote computer you want to control. You must have root privileges to perform this configuration. Create a systemd socket file xvnc. Create a systemd service file xvnc.
Create a GDM custom. An SSH client is only needed if you chose to use Method 1 or you plan to encrypt your VNC traffic, which is discussed later in this guide.
On Windows, you can install Putty. Under the Category section, select Session. See Figure 1. Set the Connection type option to SSH. Take note of the generated display ID because you will input it into the VNC viewer app to establish the connection. The above example shows the display ID is 3. VNC automatically picks a unique display ID unless you specify one.
To specify a display ID, enter a unique number that is not already in use after the colon. You can now end the SSH connection by logging out. This does not terminate your active VNC session. For Method 1 and Method 2, you must connect to a specific active session or display ID using one of two options:.
For example, if the display ID is 3, it can be specified as or just as 3. Use For simplicity, the instructions below use the fully-qualified VNC port number. The following screenshot shows connecting to Clear Linux OS host Follow these steps:. Right-click a connection node and select Properties…. See Figure 3. It also will enable the xface4 at the time of server startup:. You can also pass some additional options to your VNC server by creating a VNC configuration file and adding the settings line by line.
If you want to perform this operation, then execute this command in your Ubuntu terminal:. This value symbolizes the port where VNC is currently operating on your system. To do so, execute a below-given command in the Ubuntu terminal:. Virtual Network Computing or VNC enables Ubuntu users to properly manage the application, their settings and files that exist on a remote server.
As indicated in the output from the vncserver command, the VNC desktop is listening for connections on a higher numbered port. This port isn't directly accessible from the internet. Hence, we need to use SSH local port forwarding to connect to this server.
You can disconnect and reconnect to your desktop by establishing this SSH session whenever you need to access your desktop. In other words, your desktop remains active across your connections to it. This supports a mobile work environment. Above command will forward connections on local port to a remote system's same as SSH server host Cheaha - hence localhost port Windows users need to establish the connection using whatever SSH software they commonly use.
The following is an example configuration using Putty client on Windows. Be sure to press the "Add" button to save the configuration with the session and ensure the tunnel is opened when the connection is established. With the network connection to the VNC server established, you can access your cluster desktop using your preferred VNC client.
When you access your cluster desktop you will be prompted for the VNC password you created during the one time setup above. The VNC client will actually connect to your local machine, eg.
You do this because you have already created the real connection to Cheaha using the SSH tunnel. You can access the VNC server using the following connection scenarios based on your personal desktop environment. For Mac OSX Enter the following connection string in Finder:. Adjust your port setting for the specific value of your cluster desktop given when you run vncserver above.
