| - | == FarmVNC ==
| + | The FarmVNC script has been retired. VNC remote display is still supported, but X Windows is strongly recommended, instead; see the [https://srcc.stanford.edu/farmshare2/connecting service documentation] for instructions. |
| - | | + | |
| - | This page documents a new script - farmvnc - which has been introduced with the upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04. The steps involved in setting up VNC on Farmshare are largely the same with just the change of substituting farmvnc script instead of vncserver.

| - | == running farmvnc ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | First, run farmvnc to see what resolution's are supported:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | <source lang="sh">
| + | |
| - | $ module load farmvnc
| + | |
| - | $ farmvnc
| + | |
| - | please give desired resolution on command line:
| + | |
| - | for example: farmvnc 1440x900
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | you can choose any of the following
| + | |
| - | 1024x768
| + | |
| - | 1280x1024
| + | |
| - | 1440x900
| + | |
| - | 1920x1080
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | </source>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I am using a macbook air so I will choose 1440x900 so that full screen vnc will match with native mac resolution.

| - | run this command in another window to setup the SSH tunnel
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 bishopj@corn01.stanford.edu
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The VNC desktop is: localhost:1
| + | |
| - | PORT=5901
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | </source>
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | At this point, we need to setup an SSH tunnel so that the vncclient that we need to run on your desktop/laptop can connect to the vncserver that is now listening.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | If you are running linux or macos on your laptop/desktop I would suggest cutting and pasting the ssh command that is displayed in the output of farmvnc into a new terminal window. For example I would run this command (keep in mind that the username and port numbers will change from what is written here).

| - | ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 bishopj@corn01.stanford.edu

| - | == choice of vnc client ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Ubuntu 13.04 desktop makes use of 3D effects. You can turn some of these effects off, however, you are going to want a reasonably good VNC client. I would suggest turboVNC.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | You can get turboVNC from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualgl/files/TurboVNC/
| + | |

| + | |

| - | Launch turbovnc and type in localhost:5901
| + | |

| - | Type in your vnc password that you set.
