Introduction#
I have always been using the command line to operate on the server, and it always felt awkward. Especially when I wanted to do something visual, it was quite frustrating.
Today, I finally found a software that allows me to have a graphical interface on the server.
Client system: Ubuntu 14.04
Server system: CentOS 6.9
Part 1: Server-side Configuration#
-
Install desktop environment
sudo yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
-
Install VNC server
sudo yum -y install vnc-server
-
Set VNC password
vncpasswd
-
Start VNC
vncserver
Note:
When starting, it will tell us the port location, which is the number after "localhost.localdomain". This needs to be remembered.
New 'localhost.localdomain:2 (username)' desktop is localhost.localdomain:2
Part 2: Client-side Configuration#
-
Search and install SSL/SSH VNC Viewer from the software center
-
Open the software and enter "username@IP address number" after Display
The VNC Password is the password set in the third step above.
- Click Connect, and a window will appear. Enter the password for the username account.
