Virtual Desktop With TigerVNC
-
First open up a terminal with MobaXterm and log into the server.
-
Execute the following command:
-
vncserver -localhost no
-
The command prompt will return information. Take note of the first line. For example:
-
New Xtigervnc server 'fishCube:3 (mark)' on port 5903 for display :3.
-
The number that is returned ('3' or '5903') tells you which session you created. Remember this number.
-
-
-
Once created, you can close down your terminal. You own that session until you explicitly kill it (command: vncserver -kill :3) or the server restarts.
-
Launch TigerVNC to get the following console:
-
In the dialog box, type the following:
-
fishCube:590X
-
X is your session number. For example, following the previous example, you would type: fishCube:5903
-
-
If that doesn't work, then try using: serverIP:590X
-
-
Hit Connect and your session should launch (eventually).
