This article provides you brief idea about setting up vnc server on Linux.I had setup vnc server on fedora core 3. however you can apply same steps with other distro.
Step 1 : Enable vnc services on host MyServer.
?#setup
???????? go to system services
???????? check out that vnc and vncserver are enabled.
???????? if not enable it using space bar.
???????? quit from setup.
?# service vncserver start
Step II : Start the VNC server.
# vncserver
…
vncserver started on MyServer:1.
Note : Only one instance of server is created.
#vncpasswd
password:*****
retype password:****
Note : This will set vnc password for accessing vnc server.
Step III : Testing
From client run vncviewer (don’t run remote desktop connection from winxp or win2003, they are using different protocol)
In server enter : MyServer:1
enter password:
and you will see the screen with one terminal open.
Thats because by default vnc starts twm desktop.
For getting your gnome desktop
Go to /root/.vnc/
vi xstartup
change the 4th and 5th lines to look like this
unset session manager
exec /etc/x11/…/initrc
