Installing Tiger VNC on Fedora 16

By

VNC is a great product that allows you to get a GUI session between different or the same O/S.  This article describes installing VNC on a Fedora 16 box

Steps

1. Using YumEx or similar install TigerVNC
2. Copy: 

/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service

to

/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service

– Where I have “:1.” to which ever port you want to use

3. Edit the new file, specifically change “root” to the user you wish to start VNC
as:

ExecStart=/sbin/runuser -l root -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i"
ExecStop=/sbin/runuser -l root -c "/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i"
4. Run the following to enable

systemctl enable vncserver@:1.service
5. Now that you have enabled it VNC will start automatically. If you want to start it now
you should run

systemctl start vncserver@:1.service

Change resolution

If you are like me the default resolution is not the one you want. One of the suggestions is to change the “.service” file to something like:

ExecStart=/sbin/runuser -l root -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i" -geometry 1280x1024
ExecStop=/sbin/runuser -l root -c "/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i"

This would potentially change the VNC session to 1280×1024. This didn’t work for me, what did work was to change the resolution the normal way by going into the VNC session and selecting “Display” from the “System Settings” – it does seem to stick even through reboots.
