= Running the Full Gnome Desktop =
In order to run the full gnome desktop in vnc, you have to edit this file in the home directory of the user you want to run vnc on:
First kill the VNC session: vncserver -kill :1
.vnc/xstartup
and make sure it has these two lines uncommented, per the comment there:
<pre>
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
</pre>
Now restart the vncserver: vncserver
I use remote desktop viewer, hit the connect button and type hda:1<br>
That should be it.
= Killing the Server =
To kill the server in session :1, you can do:
vncserver -kill :1
= Setup Automatic Login =
Automatic login is useful if you want to run a headless HDA and enjoy the benefits that VNC provides without having to login from the command line via SSH and manually start X.
Add the following to the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf
<pre>
#Enable Auto login to the GNOME desktop
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=<username>
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=<username>
TimedLoginDelay=0
</pre>
Replace <username> with the username that you want to automatically login to the GNOME desktop.
If you want to have a script help you to accomplish the task, download [http://wiki.amahi.org/images/a/a3/AutomaticLogin.rb AutomaticLogin.rb] and run the script as root (directions to accomplish this are below).
Login as root then run the following commands:
<pre>
cd /tmp
wget http://wiki.amahi.org/images/a/a3/AutomaticLogin.rb
chmod +x AutomaticLogin.rb
./AutomaticLogin.rb
</pre>
Then follow the prompts to guide you in the setup.
