similar to: Nvidia, vncserver, >> xfce = Resolved Issue

Bare metal Centos 6.5, vncserver running, client able to connect with perfect resolution. Nvidia GT240, driver 331.49. Upgrade to Centos 7 with nouveau basic driver, all still works fine. Resolution poor on wire connected monitor, but perfect on vnc client session (1920x1080). Upgrade Nvidia driver via elrepo. 340.58; removed nouveau via 'Software' manager. Excellent wired monitor

Actually it is running: netstat -tuln | grep 590 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5902 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5903 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5901 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5902 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5903 :::* LISTEN

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

I installed RHEL 5.8 x86_64 today. To my surprise, when I connect it using vnc viewer it does not start gnome-session automatically. The last line in .vnc/xstartup is twm& Before I removed RHEL 6.1 a few days ago, vncserver always starts gnome-session every time I open vncviewer. Is that related to RHEL version or vnc-server version? Best Regards, Yawei

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

Hi Jerry, I done a lot of search in google. Than I find your post, but without success for my problem. I have add your xstartup file. But I can't get it working with this startupfile. One problem is, that I can't find the x-terminal-emulator on my machine. Which package must I install for x-terminal-emulator in CentOS7 ? Maybe you can have a look at my logfile and my configuration for

I finally have got around to installing centos 7 and usually do a pretty minimal installation, I chose the virtualization host, since that will be the primary purpose. However I have hit a snag, I usually install xfce from epel and go along my way but there appears to be a bug in the xfce package: Error: Package: xfdesktop-4.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: desktop-backgrounds-basic

I have the vncserver running on CentOS 4, but when I log in using vncviewer from another box, I don't see my gnome desktop, just a fancy terminal. I suspect I need to edit the ~/.vnc "xstartup file, but what do I add to fix this. On all other distros I have tried, the vncserver serves up my gnome desktop by default. -- Lee Parmeter Emperor, linXos - The Flying Penguin

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

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

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

My wife bought a new Thinkpad, on which we had the shop install CentOS 7 (I *think* it's 7.3.) Alas!, I didn't think to specify NOT Gnome, in thunder. So of course I got it. I've tried several times to force myself to accommodate Gnome3, always with no joy. How do I get Mate or Xfce instead? Related problem: when I become root and tell it "yum update," it figures out

Hi all, When using the "vncserver :1" and then "vncviewer :1" to see it so far so good. then when I run a program I get the window outline until I move to the position I want and click - how can I just skip that step and lets say have my new program go full screen (in the vnc window). Is that possible and how? THanks, Jerry

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

Hi, I have recently installed centOS 7 and trying to start vnc server on it. Somehow, I am unable to make vncserver working. I have modified iptable rules and xstartup file but it did not help. Has anyone else faced this problem earlier? Any help would be appreciated. Regards Hersh

Hi all I have a problem in the configuration of tigervnc-server-use centos 6.1 and tigervnc-server version is that which lies in the repo I followed the following steps: - tigervnc-installed - added the user in the section /etc/sysconfig/vncservers - set a password using the vncpasswd - left by default the xstartup file created - restart vncserver service When I connect
