Installation

On the debian system

  • Install one of the x-window-system-core virtual packages like xorg; I like rxvt vs the default xterm
aptitude install xorg rxvt
  • Install a desktop (gnome or gnome-core+gnome-themes for less "stuff")
aptitude install gnome-core gnome-themes dbus-x11 desktop-base
  • Install vnc4server package
aptitude install vnc4server
  • Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup
    • Replace "x-window-manager &" with "x-session-manager &"
    • NOTE: This is needed because I didn't install or want a display manager (e.g. gdm)

On the windows system

  • Install http://www.uvnc.com/ ultravnc viewer
  • Manually create a shortcut in the windows start menu tree

Maintenance

  • Start vnc4server in your login
vncserver
  • Kill vnc4server desktop
vncserver -kill :1
  • Change the desktop password
vncpasswd

Debuging

  • Config and Log Files
~/.vnc/xstartup
~/.vnc/deb:1.log
