I've been scratching my head over this one after setting up VNC on another existing server. Followed the instructions here http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server as usual. It worked initially. However since this server is going to be installed in a rather inconvenient place and having done pretty stupid things before, I decided for the first time to try the portion that says # Add the

hi all, I've inherited a server with CentOS 6.4 the VNC Server starts up with the OS and its screen resolution is set to 800x600. I found that I can set the resolution by specifying the -geometry switch, but I can't find where the call to start the vncserver is set in order to change it. I know that it's not in /etc/xinetd.d (the only file there is rsync) here are the contents of

To GeraldClark and PjWelsh, I have centos 6 and used your guide to get it going with vnc. First of all thanks for putting that up, so many techs told me I did not have to install a desktop to make it work and they were so wrong. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server Using centos 6 I found some differences and wanted to post them here to see if anything helps clear it all up. I acutally

OK, first time configuring vncserver on Centos7. I have read through a bunch of old messages here on vncserver and thought I had it. Obviously not. 1) cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver at .service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver at .service 2) vi /etc/systemd/system/vncserver at .service I changed <USER> in both places to root 3) systemctl daemon-reload 4) systemctl

Hi Patrick, Thanks for you quickly answer. Yes, x11vnc was installed on my system. The problem is i not understand the ?logic" of vnc connection, so i try to dark? I copy the /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service to /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:0.service restart the vnc service and obtain Jul 18 11:17:16 systemd[1]: vncserver@:0.service: control process exited, code=exited

I am trying to setup a centos 7.1 vncserver I cannot believe they went from a relatively easy process in 6 to the "crazyness" that is 7. I did the following: yum install tigervnc-server cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver at .service /etc/systemd/system systemctl daemon-reload edit /etc/systemd.system/vncserver at .service

HI all, i am configuring VNC server in CentOS 5.1. i have enables this two lines in /etc/sysconfig/vncserver file VNCSERVERS="2:vnc" VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1024x768 -depth 24" here i have created a user vnc and set the password using vncpasswd cmd. then i started the vncserver # vncserver New 'localhost.localdomain:1 (gopinath)' desktop is

http://www.realvnc.com/products/enterprise/4.1/ipv6.html IPv6 support in VNC Server E4.1.7/P4.1.2 VNC Server E4.1.7 & P4.1.2 are fully IPv6-aware, but is shipped with IPv6 support disabled by default, for security reasons. IPv6 can be enabled by setting "InTransports=IPv6,IPv4" (the default being IPv4 only), either on the command-line when starting vncserver under Unix Ok.

Hi, I just installed CentOS7 and managed to start the vncserver service, but once I connect to the machine, the desktop resolution isn't the one which I set in the vncserver@:3.service file located in /lib/systemd/system/ directory. The content of the mention file: ---------------------------------------- [Unit] Description=Remote desktop service (VNC) After=syslog.target network.target

I tried to use tightvnc back in August and had some help, but I stopped due to IPv6 support. Now I am back at tightvnc and cannot get the server started. This is on a new Centos install that did have regular vncserver working on it (I did a yum erase vnc-server first). So I have a working /etc/sysconfig/vncserver and my user has the appropriate ~/.vnc files that worked with regular vnc.

Gerald and P.J., I just finished setting up VNC services following http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server and have a few comments. "2.3. Edit the server configuration" The last line should be corrected from VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800x600" to VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 800x600" "2.4. Create xstartup scripts" Comments about the rational for

I am trying to get a remote screen on C7. I did the following on C7 server: yum install tigervnc-server cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver at .service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service systemctl daemon-reload edit /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service and replace <USER> with myuser su - myuser run

When I run system-config-services, it shows vncserver set to start at boot. in /etc/inittab I have init 3 vncserver does not start at boot. I log in on the console as root and service vncserver start and it starts with some warning messages about bad display name in "add" command, but I do not see where these are logged to copy them into this message. Once I start it from the

hey guys, Ok so I've installed tiger vnc on a centos 6.5 machine. And I've edited /etc/sysconfig/vncservers [root at potwsld00001 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/vncservers VNCSERVERS="1:mysql" And added the contents of the xstartup file for the user: [root at potwsld00001 ~]# cat /home/mysql/.vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh [ -r /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n export

Hello everyone: I tried following the instructions on this page to set up a VNC server: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server I can telnet to port 5901 from the machine itself: # telnet 127.0.0.1 5901 Trying 127.0.0.1...
