Setup VNC

Jump to: navigation, search

If your RAM allows for it you might want to install the VNC server.

You can follow the instructions from DSL but I want to see the actual screen, so the x11vnc package seems like a better option:

I did the following: 

apt-get install x11vnc
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  x11vnc
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 131 not upgraded.
Need to get 180kB of archives.
After unpacking 431kB of additional disk space will be used.
Get:1 http://ftp.us.debian.org stable/main x11vnc 0.7-1 [180kB]
Fetched 180kB in 3s (50.0kB/s) 
Selecting previously deselected package x11vnc.
(Reading database ... 14483 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking x11vnc (from .../archives/x11vnc_0.7-1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up x11vnc (0.7-1) ...

And updated /home/dsl/.xinitrc with: 

 /usr/bin/x11vnc &

Unfortunately I get: 

# x11vnc
x11vnc: error while loading shared libraries: libXrandr.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So: 

# apt-get install libxrandr2

And eventually: 

# startx
# x11vnc -display :0
