(no hostname necessary before the :1, once ssh has connected to the host, everything else is local) The command to start the viewer will then be:
Now, since all our Linux computers are reachable through ssh, it is usually best to use the same computer for ssh that is running your vnc session.
SETTING UP VNC VIEWER HOW TO
Now we could try to describe how to set up such a tunnel, but the mechanism is know to vncviewer, so usually it is as easy as adding -via and a hostname to handle the ssh setup. The solution is then to combine VNC with a SSH tunnel. You cannot directly connect to a vncserver from outside the institute, since VNC itself is only minimally encrypted, and not secure enough to be exposed to the net. So in general, a more lightweight xstartup would be preferable! See VNC desktop issues for details. (*) these desktops are often too heavy for a vnc session, since by default, they have 3D graphical desktop effects enabled, that need to be emulated in software, slowing down your session (and the host computer) without added benefits. Run one of these commands to get the version of your liking:
Templates for the various desktops are available for installation. Note: if you want to run KDE Plasma in your vnc session, this is the setup:įor Gnome, replace the last line with gnome-session. The startup script for VNC is ~/.vnc/xstartup. You don't have to configure much, but you can control what applications to run in yout VNC session.
