Installing VNC server on Google Cloud

Installing VNC server on Google Cloud

In this post we are going to see how can we setup GUI in google cloud VM using vncserver. I would be using the same for installing EBS R12.2 in future posts.

Steps:

1. Setup a VM on Google Cloud. I am using RHEL 6.

[himanshu@ebs122 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.10 (Santiago)

2. Install the required RPMS

yum install tigervnc-server

yum install twm

yum install xterm

yum install xsetroot
yum install xclock

3. Start the VNC server using below command

[himanshu@ebs122 ~]$ vncserver

You will require a password to access your desktops.

Password:
Verify:
xauth:  file /home/himanshu/.Xauthority does not exist

New 'ebs122:1 (himanshu)' desktop is ebs122:1

Creating default startup script /home/himanshu/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/himanshu/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/himanshu/.vnc/ebs122:1.log

4. Now install any vnc viewer and try to access.
