# VNC
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
If you came here, you are most likely wanting to gain access to vnc. The process
|
||||
is not very difficult:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open your shell and type `acquirevnc`. This will
|
||||
automatically give you a port number. **Note this down.**
|
||||
2. The script will also prompt you to give a password. Follow the on-screen
|
||||
prompts, and note this password down, preferably in a password manager.
|
||||
3. Install a VNC client on your local machine. The client for tigervnc is
|
||||
recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connection
|
||||
|
||||
1. Forward the port to your local machine. To do this, run
|
||||
`ssh -L xxxx:localhost:xxxx -f -N -C username@thunix.net` on
|
||||
your local machine **every time** before you connect to your vnc. Replace
|
||||
username with your username and xxxx with your port nummber.
|
||||
2. Connect to `localhost:xxxx` in your vnc client, where xxxx is your port number.
|
||||
3. Type in your password you chose earlier when prompted.
|
||||
|
||||
## Starting VNC Server
|
||||
|
||||
You normally should not need to start your vnc server, as the `acquirevnc`
|
||||
script starts your server for you. However, in the unlikely case of a server
|
||||
reboot or a vnc crash, all you need to do is run `startvnc` and vnc will begin
|
||||
in the background.
|
||||
|
||||
## Support
|
||||
|
||||
While the process is designed to be as easy as possible, it is easy to trip up.
