- Some notes from VNC Server Setup In Redhat Linux are also applicable to TightVNC setup on Fedora.
An easy way to remotely run the xwindows desktop from a ms-windows system. Download and install the package:
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vnc-tight/tightvnc-server-1.3.9-1.i386.rpm rpm -ih tightvnc-server-1.3.9-1.i386.rpm
The only documentation included with the RPM worth reading is at:
/usr/share/doc/tightvnc-server-1.3.9/README
The binary executables:
/usr/bin/vncviewer /usr/bin/vncserver /usr/bin/vncpasswd /usr/bin/vncconnect /usr/bin/Xvnc
To configure the package as a service: The RPM places the InitV startup scripts in the correct Redhat places.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K35vncserver /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K35vncserver /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K35vncserver /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K35vncserver /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/K35vncserver /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K35vncserver /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K35vncserver
To EDIT the TightVNC configuration file:
vi /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
- TightVNC does not start due to font path issues.
