In this handy tutorial, let me show you how to install vncserver on Centos 6.4 and
how to connect to this server from remote hosts.

Install Desktop Environment

Sometimes you may need the GUI to do some tasks in Linux even if that tasks are not
preferred for Unix administrations .

For GNOME:

1 # yum groupinstall "General Purpose Desktop" "Desktop Platform"

For KDE:

1 # yum groupinstall "KDE Desktop"

Install VNC server


1 # yum -y install vnc-server
2 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit
3 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
4 * base: centos.crazyfrogs.org
5 * epel: be.mirror.eurid.eu
6 * extras: centos.crazyfrogs.org
7 * updates: centos.crazyfrogs.org
8 Setting up Install Process
9 Resolving Dependencies
10 --> Running transaction check
11 ---> Package tigervnc-server-module.i686 0:1.1.0-5.el6_4.1 will be installed
12 --> Finished Dependency Resolution

Install Tigervnc-Server

1 # yum install tigervnc-server

Make vnc password for user (Ex. pirat9). Login to the user and run the following
command:

1 $ vncpasswd
2 Password:
3 Verify:

Configure VNC configuration for new user

Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file and add the user name:

1 VNCSERVERS="2:pirat9"

you can add more users with multiple different display size for every user.
1 VNCSERVERS="2:userx 3:usery 4:userz"
2 VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1280x1024"
3 VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1280x1024"

Make it to start automatically on every reboot and start the vnc service.

1 # chkconfig vncserver on
2
3 # /etc/init.d/vncserver start
4 Starting VNC server: 2:pirat9 xauth: creating new authority file /home/pirat9/.Xauthority
5 xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "unixmen-Centos64:2" in "add" command
6 New 'unixmen-Centos64:2 (pirat9)' desktop is unixmen-Centos64:2
7 Creating default startup script /home/pirat9/.vnc/xstartup
8 Starting applications specified in /home/pirat9/.vnc/xstartup
