similar to: VNC Server Centos 7 specify window manager

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

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

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

Thanks Frank. The below in fact worked and restarting the service. Jerry To get mate to show up use the follow text in your ~.vnc/xstartup file: #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r HOME/.Xresources ]

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm trying to use VNC to connect my home Centos box (up to date centos 5) to my Centos 4 (also up to date) at work. I have no problem connecting. The problem occurs after logging in, for every applet in the bottom Gnome panel I get an error box from which I can choose to remove the applet from the panel, or just go on. I choose to not delete but to just go on. After I get a half dozen or so of

Hi Everybody :) I'm sorry if this is unwanted noise but I'm struggling to find the answer to what is probably a ridiculously simply problem. Setup vncserver but it likes to run as a user (reading parameters from ~/.vnc/xstartup of the user the process runs as). When I start vncserver and connect in I am dropped into a running copy of X of that users desktop, how can I instead have it

Hello, I'm using selenium rc for automated testing on a centos box. working on the box itself has no problem as long as i start the server through terminal. though if i wanted to run tests remotely i have a problem with firefox not knowing on which display to run. i have a vnc client running on port 1 (5801/5901) I've tried the following: export DISPLAY=1 ; java -jar

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

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

The suggestion from Marco to try a non-3D DE worked. I tried two methods: 1. minimal Centos 7 install and xfce install via CLI. Worked fine. 2. Gnome Centos 7 install and then xfce install via yum groupinstall. Worked fine. One tip for anyone doing this: After starting vncserver the first time, it creates a ~/.vnc/xstartup file. This will be the same type of session if you logged in locally.

yum -y install x11vnc x11vnc -display :0 -forever -bg firewall-cmd --add-port=5900/tcp --permanent You should look into VNC passwords, I use the above command in a shell script for each user in ~/.kde/Autostart I believe the viewer I'm using is krdc?
