Guest Ender Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 Ok, how do I start a VNC server through the command line. I can do it using rfbdrake, but was thinking of running it as a service if it is possible. Would I have to download the source from VNC or is it available through mdk. -Thanks for the help!

Guest secovel Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 To install urpmi tightvnc-server Read the man pages. You need to edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers. You also need to add a password (vncpasswd?). Its in the man page. Can't remember now. Then... service vncserver start It will also show up as a service in the GUI manager so you can start it on bootup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ender Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 That was simple, thanks! :D Also, on a kinda related question can you specify where URPMI goes and looks first. I was to lazy to put in disk 3 :roll:, so I just used red-carpet and got it that way, but I have urpmi.update working so I have an outside source available already. Thanks for your time again!
