VNC server under F14

1) Install the vnc server by suing following command:

yum install tigervnc tigervnc-server

2) Under the user that will be used to login execute:

vncpasswd

This is the password that you will use to connect to the server

3) Configure the displays by editing /etc/sysconfig/vncservers

nano /etc/sysconfig/vncservers

Make sure that you have something like this

VNCSERVERS="1:the_user_that_is_used_for_vnc"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1280x1024"

4) Then start the service for the first time:

service vncserver start

5) And make sure that the service is starting everytime you restart your machine:

chkconfig vncserver on

6) also don't forget to add firewall rules - use gnome tools from System / Administration / Firewall... Allow connections to port 5901

7) Now you can connect to the VNC server with ip and the display number e.g.: 192.160.0.254:1
