Access Linux From Windows Through Virtual Network Computing(VNC)

Posted by | Dec 18, 2009 | |

VNC(Virtual Network Computing) is an open source utility to access any remote host through GUI. In this post we will see how to login to Linux server from a windows machine. Step1 : Install VNCserver on Linux machine#rpm –ivh vnc-server-4.1.2-9.el5.i386.rpm Step2 : Start VNC server now#service vncserver restart#vncserver Note and this is very important :1. Now it will ask for a password to access the Linux server through VNC viewer and this password is for root user to login from any machine through VNC.2. If you want to access GUI for a particular user, first login to that user account and execute vncserver command. When you execute this command in the user login it will ask for a password, and this password is for the user to login from remote host through VNC to the Linux server.3. For security reasons please give different password for accessing Linux through VNC other than your password to login to the Linux machine. If you remember and understand these points your goal is almost completed.Step3 : Make sure that your Linux server is running in run level 5/GUI. Any of the below command will start your GUI service in Linux.#init 5Or#startx Step4 : By default Linux will not allow login to GUI.

Posted by | Dec 16, 2009 | |

Hello every one…! Google released it’s browser for Linux and MAC world officially. There is an unofficial build which most of the Linux geeks using till this point. Now it’s officially build from Google with a rotine beta tag. Though Google (many)servers run on linux, Google have showed less intrest to linux based applications(For example there is no gtalk client for linux till this point officially). May be this is because of user base and market too. Google taken nearly 1.2years to develop a Linux based browser after Google chrome browser for windows announced in 2 September 2008. There are many featuers in this browser though it is a beta release.1.Extentions(Are some kind of add-ons with which we can add our favorite utilites to the browser).2.Theams(We can chage the look of the browser).3.A task manager(Google chrome considers each tab as an individual application, so if one tab crashes it will not affect other, we can kill that tab by using this task manager).4.Efficiently utilization of empty tab by keeping nine most visited sites, so it’s easy to access that sites when we open a new tab. And many more improvements to come. I will update this post with new findings.Installing a RPM package1.Download it as RPMS (For Redhat, Centos etc)a.Install the rpm packagerpm –ivh packagename.ver.arch.rpmInstalling DEB packageDownload it as DEB (for Debina, Ubuntu)2.Install deb packagesudo dpkg -i package.debPlease Comment...
