VNC is a great product that allows you to get a GUI session between different or the same O\/S.\u00a0 This article describes installing VNC on a Fedora 16 box<\/span><\/p>\n

Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1.<\/td>\nUsing YumEx or similar install TigerVNC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2.<\/td>\nCopy: <\/p>\n

\/lib\/systemd\/system\/vncserver@.service<\/p>\n

to<\/p>\n

\/lib\/systemd\/system\/vncserver@:1.service<\/p>\n

– Where I have “:1.” to which ever port you want to use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

3.<\/td>\nEdit the new file, specifically change “root” to the user you wish to start VNC
\nas:<\/p>\n
ExecStart=\/sbin\/runuser -l root -c \"\/usr\/bin\/vncserver %i\"\r\nExecStop=\/sbin\/runuser -l root -c \"\/usr\/bin\/vncserver -kill %i\"<\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4.<\/td>\nRun the following to enable<\/p>\n
systemctl enable vncserver@:1.service<\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5.<\/td>\nNow that you have enabled it VNC will start automatically. If you want to start it now
\nyou should run<\/p>\n
systemctl start vncserver@:1.service<\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
Change resolution<\/h2>\n
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:<\/p>\n
ExecStart=\/sbin\/runuser -l root -c \"\/usr\/bin\/vncserver %i\" -geometry 1280x1024\r\nExecStop=\/sbin\/runuser -l root -c \"\/usr\/bin\/vncserver -kill %i\"<\/pre>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
