1. Download
For x11vnc, go to ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware;
For RealVNC, go to http://www.realvnc.com/index.html
2. Install
Decompress the package downloaded firstly.
For x11vnc, install it in this way:
pkgadd -d x11vnc-0.7-sol10-sparc-local
For RealVNC, install it like this:
cd vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris ./vncinstall /usr/local/bin
3. Configure
Start a vnc session in this way:
vncserver
If it fails with the error like this:
vncserver: couldn't find "xauth" on your PATH.
It means that xauth can't be found in the current PATH variable.
Add the location of 'xauth' to PATH in this way:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X/bin/
It only works if 'xauth' resides under '/usr/X/bin' and this may be different for other OS.
Run 'vncserver' again, and the output may look like this:
#vncserverNew 'bjsol16:1 (antong)' desktop is bjsol16:1Starting applications specified in /nfs/users/antong/.vnc/xstartupLog file is /nfs/users/antong/.vnc/bjsol16:1.log
If you want to see gnome desktop enviroment in vncviewer, you can modify .vnc/xstartup under you home directory
4. Test
Use vncviewer to connect to the server:
vncviewer bjsol16:1
Text the password and enjoy the remote desktop.
