[osol-discuss] Help with VNC server setup in build 82 Community Edition
Hello all, Not sure this is the right place to ask this, if not can you point me to a more specific forum (that is preferably active) that I can seek some Solaris help from? So I installed the build 82 community edition, boots up fine into the GUI. I run it on a 2nd computer and use my dual monitors on my main machine, so ideally I wanted to run VNC from my main machine to access the solaris box when I need a UI, ssh otherwise. I'm mostly a GUI type of person, so I imagine I'll use it more so than ssh as I am far from a command line linux/solaris guru. From what I found online, it appears that VNC server (xvnc) should be installed as part of the build. For some reason, the /usr/local/ folder doesn't even exist which from what I found online is where VNC should be installed (/usr/local/bin). I am not exactly knowledgeable in downloading and making/building the sources either. I am also trying to figure out the downloadable pkgadd files from sunfreeware.com. It then says that I need jpeg and libc or something. I downloaded those, but I can't seem to figure out what to do next. I know, it's sad. I can keep messing with it, but figure I'd seek some help in the meantime to maybe hasten up the process. Oh, I am running the 32-bit version, although I would love to know if there is any benefit for my home PC (dual-core 925 intel cpus with 2GB ram, nvdia video card) if it's worth it to put the 64-bit version on there. I am primarily interested in setting up the XVM stuff, playing around with the different doms, and learning how to use XVM to create virtual machines. There is that option to start in XVM, not sure what to do from there, if anyone has pointers that would be great as well. Thank you. Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

You do not have to install any more VNC server on build82, you have two options: 1. Vino Start-Preferences-Remote Desktop or run 'vino-preferences' Check 'Allow other users to view your desktop' 2. Xvnc Darren have an excellent script to setup it. Halton.

That's where you might install it if you built it yourself, but /usr/local is for stuff you add locally, and nothing shipped with any OS should ever be there. The Xvnc we ship is in /usr/X11/bin. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2450/gfwcu?l=ena=viewq=Xvnc has docs on setting up Xvnc on Solaris Express/Nevada. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
