Debian VNC server setup
Note to self, grab the required packages,
apt-get install xfce4 apt-get install tightvncserver
Initialize for the first time and set the password,
tightvncserver :1
then kill the process,
tightvncserver -kill :1
Edit,
~/.vnc/xstartup
and add,
xfce4-session &
To connect, setup the tunnel,
ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 user@yourserver.net -p 8722
and start VNC,
tightvncserver -geometry 800x600 :1
Use a VNC client (like Chicken of the VNC) to connect to your SSH tunnel,
- connect to localhost (or 127.0.0.1)
- display 1, because of port 5901 (display 0 would be port 5900)
- enter your VNC password
