The process -is not very difficult: - -1. Open your shell and type `acquirevnc`. This will - automatically give you a port number. **Note this down.** -2. The script will also prompt you to give a password. Follow the on-screen - prompts, and note this password down, preferably in a password manager. -3. Install a VNC client on your local machine. The client for tigervnc is - recommended. - -## Connection - -1. Forward the port to your local machine. To do this, run - `ssh -L xxxx:localhost:xxxx -f -N -C username@thunix.net` on - your local machine **every time** before you connect to your vnc. Replace - username with your username and xxxx with your port nummber. -2. Connect to `localhost:xxxx` in your vnc client, where xxxx is your port number. -3. Type in your password you chose earlier when prompted. - -## Starting VNC Server - -You normally should not need to start your vnc server, as the `acquirevnc` -script starts your server for you. However, in the unlikely case of a server -reboot or a vnc crash, all you need to do is run `startvnc` and vnc will begin -in the background. - -## Support - -While the process is designed to be as easy as possible, it is easy to trip up. -For help, jump in our IRC channel on irc.tilde.chat/6697 in channel #thunix.
