How To Setup VNC For Ubuntu 12

TAGGED IN: LINUX BASICS, UBUNTU

Background

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing, which allows you to connect to your server remotely, and be able to use your keyboard, mouse, and monitor to interface with that server.

Step 1 - Install VNC server and XFCE 4 desktop.

To get started, we will install a VNC server on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 Server droplet. Login as root and install packages:

apt-get -y install ubuntu-desktop tightvncserver xfce4 xfce4-goodies

Step 2 - Add a VNC user and set its password.

Login as root and edit /etc/init.d/vncserver and add the following lines:#!/bin/bash PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin/" export USER="vnc" DISPLAY="1" DEPTH="16" GEOMETRY="1024x768" OPTIONS="-depth ${DEPTH} -geometry ${GEOMETRY} :${DISPLAY}" . /lib/lsb/init-functions case "$1" in start) log_action_begin_msg "Starting vncserver for user '${USER}' on localhost:${DISPLAY}" su ${USER} -c "/usr/bin/vncserver ${OPTIONS}" ;; stop) log_action_begin_msg "Stoping vncserver for user '${USER}' on localhost:${DISPLAY}" su ${USER} -c "/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :${DISPLAY}" ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; esac exit 0

adduser vnc passwd vnc

echo "vnc ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers

su - vnc vncpasswd exit

Step 4 - Install VNC As A Service

Now you can login as user ‘vnc’ and obtain root by running ‘sudo su -‘ and entering your password:

This step sets the VNC password for user ‘vnc’. It will be used later when you connect to your VNC server with a VNC client:

Set user vnc's VNC Server password:

If you would like to get root as user vnc you would have to add it to sudoers file. Make sure you are logged in as root:

Edit /home/vnc/.vnc/xstartup and replace with:

#!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey startxfce4 &

Update file permissions and allow any user to start X Server:

chown -R vnc. /home/vnc/.vnc && chmod +x /home/vnc/.vnc/xstartup sed -i 's/allowed_users.*/allowed_users=anybody/g' /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

Make /etc/init.d/vncserver executable and start VNC server:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/vncserver && service vncserver start

Add your VNC server to automatically start on reboot:

update-rc.d vncserver defaults

Step 5 - Connect to your droplet with TightVNC

TightVNC is a great VNC client that allows SSH tunnel. It can be downloaded from http://www.tightvnc.com/download.php Make sure to use IP::port as your remote host, where IP is your droplet’s IP and port is 5901:
