How to Configure a VNC in Debian

VNC is an application that allows you access to a remote computer. This includes the ability to run programs from the remote computer just as if you were directly using that computer. One of the best things about VNC is its ability to be platform independent, meaning that it can run on any operating system. Debian is a stable and solid Linux operating system. Debian is versatile in its abilities and is often used as a web server. Since most web servers don't need a monitor attached, VNC and Debian make a great combination for server access.

Instructions

    • 1

      Download VNCserver by opening terminal and typing "sudo apt-get install vnc4server."

    • 2

      Type "vnc4server -geometry 1024---768 -depth 24" to set the Ubuntu server to 1024x768 screen resolution with a 24-bit color depth (these numbers can be changed to suit your need).

    • 3

      Type in the password you wish to use and hit "Enter," then retype the password for verification.

    • 4

      Type "vncserver" in terminal to start up a server. Debian will assign you a server name that will be used by the remote computer to log in.
