This guide explains how to configure VNC-server in CentOS 7.0 server. It is a very convinient way of administrating the CentOS 7.0 with the help of GUI(Graphics User Interface). The GUI can be access any where with the help of the VNC-client on any OS. The basic condition is that the connecting OS must have VNC-clients installed in it.
1 Preliminary Note
This tutorial is based on CentOS 7.0 server, so you should set up a basic CentOS 7.0 server installation before you continue with this tutorial. The system should have a static IP address. I use 192.168.0.100 as my IP address in this tutorial and server1.example.com as the hostname.
IP address
192.168.0.100
Gateway
192.168.0.1
DNS8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
Hostnameserver1.example.com
VNC-server benefits- Remote GUI administration makes work easy & convenient.
- Clipboard sharing between host CentOS server & VNC-client machine.
- GUI tools can be installed on the host CentOS server to make the administration more powerful
- Host CentOS server can be administered through any OS having the VNC-client installed.
- More reliable over ssh graphics.
- More reliable over RDP connections.
2 Installation
I am logged in my system with
root
, & now I will be installing the VNC-server.yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop"
Further install
yum install tigervnc-server
3 Adding VNC user
In my case I am using user=srijanit will differ in your case. You can use any username for the same.
useradd srijan
In CentOS 7.0 there is change in the vncserver configuration file. Before ContOS 7.0 it was /etc/sysconfig/vncservers and now it have changed in
/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
. Next I will use the original file and create the configuration file as shown:cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service
Now we will edit the file as follows:
vi /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service
Replace the string <USER> with appropriate vncuser’s username. In my case I will be using the user srijan just created above:
|
If you wish to add more users you would create a new vncserver@:#.service file and change the <USER> string to the new users.
Firewall settings:
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service vnc-server firewall-cmd --reload
Now switch to the vncuser just created above and start the vnc service as:
[srijan@server1 ~]$ vncserver
You will require a password to access your desktops.
Password: <--yourvncpassword
Verify: <--yourvncpassword
xauth: file /home/srijan/.Xauthority does not exist
New 'server1.example.com:1 (srijan)' desktop is server1.example.com:1
Creating default startup script /home/kishore/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/kishore/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/srijan/.vnc/server1.example.com:1.log
[srijan@server1 ~]$
Now make the service enabled on after every reboot with root credentials:
su - systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable vncserver@:1.service
reboot systemctl start vncserver@:1.service
4 VNC Client
At client end my OS is Ubuntu 14.04 with vino installed on my client machine. Otherwise you can install any VNC-client of your choice. In case other OS say Windows-7 you can install Realvnc-client or any other of your choice.
Now I am going to connect with the VNC server through my VNC-client at 192.168.0.100:5901
It will prompt for the password, give the vnc password just created above as follows:
Put yourvncpassword the same which you gave at the time of adding the user srijan .
Now you are connected with the CentOS 7.0 Server. In case you want to add more users to access the vnc-console you need to add :
cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:2.service vi /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:2.service
For instance I am using user
kishore
, entries will be like this |
Now switch to the vncuser just created above and start the vnc service as:
[kishore@server1 ~]$ vncserver
You will require a password to access your desktops.
Password: <--yourvncpassword
Verify: <--yourvncpassword
xauth: file /home/kishore/.Xauthority does not exist
New 'server1.example.com:2 (kishore)' desktop is server1.example.com:2
Creating default startup script /home/kishore/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/kishore/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/kishore/.vnc/server1.example.com:2.log
[kishore@server1 ~]$
Now start the service on after every reboot for second user as follows:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable vncserver@:2.service
reboot systemctl start vncserver@:2.service
This will enable user kishore to get the access to the VNC-server with the port 5902 as
192.168.0.100:5902
. In the same way you can add the root user also.Congrats you have configured the VNC-server in CentOS 7.0 successfully :)
如果远程Linux的VNC桌面很久没有输入,那么使用VNC View打开远程linux桌面时,桌面显示不出来,显示一片黑屏,并且点击键盘或者鼠标仍然毫无反应,仍然一片黑屏。
这时候需要在vnc server上设置一下。
[root@localhost ~]# vi /root/.vnc/xstartup
去掉下面两行的注释:
unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[root@localhost ~]# vncserver -kill :1 [root@localhost ~]# vncserver :1
安装步骤:
关闭防火墙,centos的防火墙是firewalld,关闭防火墙的命令systemctl stop firewalld.service 。关闭enforce,setenforce 0。
1.安装tigervncserver,yum install tigervnc-server tigervnc-server-module
2.拷贝配置文件cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service
3.进入到配置文件目录cd /etc/systemd/system
4.修改配置文件vim vncserver@:1.service
配置文件内容为:
[Unit]
Description=Remote desktop service (VNC)
After=syslog.target network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver :1 -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16 -securitytypes=none -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
ExecStop=/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :1
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
5. 启用配置文件 systemctl enable vncserver@:1.service
6. 设置登陆密码:vncpasswd
7. 启动vncserver:systemctl start vncserver@:1.service
8 . 启动状态查看:systemctl status vncserver@:1.service
9.查看端口状态:netstat -lnt | grep 590*
10.查看报错信息:grep vnc /var/log/messages#!/bin/sh
vim /root/.vnc/xstartup
