Using [http://realvnc.com/ VNC] is useful if:
There are various ways to get the server going in your HDA. All of them require the server software.
# Amahi [http://www.amahi.org/apps/VNC VNC]: one-click installapplication.# Manually as described below (notes may require some revision).
=== Manual Install ===
* Complete the steps in [[GUI_Install_for_Express_Disc|Express Disc Desktop]] guidance (Amahi 7 ONLY).
 
* As root, install the server:
== Method 1 ==
* Open a terminal, become root and install the VNC server (tigervnc-server) as stated in the Manual Install section.
When the install has completed, press ctrl-D to end the root session. Leave the terminal open, or open one now.
*The following commands are entered as '''User'''.
Starting applications specified in /home/user/.xauthority
Log file is /home/user/.vnc/host.localdomain:1.log
 
* You can edit the configuration files using your choice of editor. Nano is used below.
Press the Y key. The prompt will change, showing you the file name.
Press the enter key, this will store your change and exit Nano.
 
*The following commands are entered as '''Root'''.
* It does involve the dreaded CLI.
* Since my HDA does not get rebooted often, this is not a huge problem
 
== Method 4 (Ubuntu) ==
[http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Install_VNC_server_on_Ubuntu_Server_12.04 This] page details two methods for installing a vncserver onto the Ubuntu Server.
= General Instructions =
 
VNC does not respect the normal rules of elevating the current user through the use of entering the admin password. The only way to run many graphical programs that require the super user is to open a command line terminal within the VNC session and start the program with the "sudo" command. Two programs that may come in handy that work in this fashion are gparted and Synaptic Package Manager.
 
To start gparted:
 
In a VNC terminal window type:
 
{{Code|
Code = sudo gparted
}}
 
To start Synaptic Package Manager:
 
In a VNC terminal window type:
 
{{Code|
Code = sudo synaptic
}}
 
More detailed instructions are available [http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/configure-vnc-server-in-fedora/ here].
