- Run the command vncpasswd to create a VNC session password. It is separate than your login password, but can be set the same
- The vncpasswd command can also change/reset an existing password
- The vncpasswd command will create a ~/.vnc directory if it does not exist
Expand title If vncserver uses systemd (example used tigervnc) - Add user to /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users
- Start vncserver for user port: sudo systemctl start vncserver@:x
Expand title If vncserver does not use systemd - Check if any VNC ports are in use using the command ‘vncserver -list’ . Any active VNC ports will be listed like :1 or :2. By default VNC runs on port in the range 590x
- Each VNC session runs on a unique port so to start on port 5902 use the command:
- vncserver :2 -localhost
- The VNC server can be stopped with the command:
- vncserver -kill :2
- The VNC session resolution can be set using the -geometry option. Stop vncserver before starting a new session.
- vncserver -kill :2
- vncserver :2 -localhost -geometry 1280x1024
After the vncserver is running, in MobaXterm select the Session icon to configure the VNC session
