I am trying to install vncserver on a fedora system.
I am wondering how can i get the vncserver rpm to install.
I am not having it in the yum repository. (by the way is vncserver free ?)
How could i download the rpm and install it ?
Please advice me on this.
Thanks in advance!
for example you can search vncserver in this site like below eg fedora 10..
(probably it requires xorg-x11-xauth for x11 forwarding to server)
and you can try it with vnc-client.
and then you can look to look Requires : section and then collect another dependencies packages.lastly install all packages and go on
or
directly install from realvnc.com.this rpm has both server and client.
I tried free edition of vncserver from realvnc and did following.
downloaded vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux[1].tar.gz from realvnc and winscp'ed to fedora box and untar it with following command
this created a dir called "vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux[1]"
cd to that dir and ./vncinstall /usr/local/bin this copied vncserver, vncpasswd,vncconfig etc files to /usr/local/bin
cd to /usr/local/bin and then the following
But i haven't found /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file to edit.
And rpm -qa |grep vnc doesnt show the installed rpm.
(But it does created .vnc directory in /root )
What went wrong?

you dont see rpm list because of you dont install a rpm package..
i guess that packages comes where from realvnc.com does not includes vncservers file.
you must install vnc-server rpm alternative sources for this.
on the other hand you can resume with this package so.
(you should not use vnc for root user.there is may some securiy vulnerabilitys especially while in auth levels.)
firstly on the server start vncpasswd for create a vnc password for test user in server which connect on desktop.
and the on vncclient start vncviewer for example

The version of vncserver you installed is not integrated with Fedora 10. it is a standalone version and has to be treated as such. Therefore commands such as
will not work.
If you want a Fedora 10 enabled version, download and install the appropriate RPMs from /pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/10. Look under "Everything/i386/os/Packages".
Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded & installed vnc-server-4.1.2-35.fc10.x86_64.rpm as root.
and made following change in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file
as vct user set vncpasswd
and as root user started vncserver by
then started vncviewer and tried to connect as console-0124.local:1
then i got error as
.
and when i tried to connect via ip address then i got
what is wrong.
Is this because of my old incorrect rpm installations ?
xstart file in /home/vct/.vnc is as follows
here i did not find following lines to uncomment
and xstartup file in roots home dir is also same.
what went wrong.
Thanks in advance!
