-
run the following command from a command window:
ssh yourUserName@vnc.math.wustl.edu
with your math login user name and password.
-
run the following command once you logged on vnc.math.wustl.edu
vncserver
When you run the vncserver command first time, it will ask
to set up a password. This will be the password you use when
you remotely remotely log on to this vncserver.
-
The typical output from step 2 looks like the following:
|
New 'troi.wustl.edu:2 (slxiao)' desktop is troi.wustl.edu:2
|
|
Starting applications specified in /Mathematics/Staff/slxiao/.vnc/xstartup
|
|
Log file is /Mathematics/Staff/slxiao/.vnc/troi.wustl.edu:2.log
|
In this case, remember the number 2 followed the "troi.wustl.edu:" .
-
download a free vnc viewer to your local machine and install it. Any vncviewer
should work. For example, a free RealVNC vncviewer works for
me and you can download it here.
-
run vncviewer and enter vnc.math.wustl.edu:2 where the number 2 should be the same as we got from the step 2 above. ( It could be some other numbers.)
-
Enter the password you entered in the step 2 above. Then you are all set. Now you can use the computer vnc.math.wustl.edu just like you sit in front of that computer.
