Using [http://realvnc.com/ VNC] is useful if:
* You would like to use a GUI to configure printer(s) or have a scanner or other device that requires a desktop program to configure and the machine is headless
* A server
* A client
Download the client software and install:
yum -y install tigervnc
=Server Installation = Server There are various ways to get the server going in your HDA. All of them require the server software. * As root, install the server: Installation yum -y install tigervnc- server == Method 1 ==
* To start the server in your HDA, you need install tigervnc-server rpm package:
* From the '''root''' user:
chkconfig vncserver on
* Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers and change lines as follows (username is your linux user for the VNC session):
* Run your VNC Client and enter hda:1 as the host/IP address. You should now see your HDA Desktop screen.
== Server: Installation - Method 2 ==
* To start the server in your HDA, you need install tigervnc-server rpm package:
* From the '''root''' user:
yum -y install tigervnc-server xinetd
chkconfig vncserver off
service vncserver stop
reboot now
== Server: Installation - Method 3 (the cpg method) ==
* Every time the HDA is rebooted, when VNC is needed, ssh to the HDA
* Since my HDA does not get rebooted often, this is not a huge problem
