As many of us works on Linux servers some times for installation of the products we like to have GUI enabled.
I would like to share the procedure to enable the GUI mode of installation on Red Hat Linux servers.
- · Go to your home directory from any were by just typing “cd” and enter
- · Then do ls –al to list out all the files in the directory
- · You will see .vnc folder will be there. Enter into the folder by cd .vnc
- · You will see a file name called xstartup
- · Take a back up of the file
- · Run the following command “vncserver”
- · Then you will get message similar to below
- New 'roswell:1 (root)' desktop is roswell:1
- Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
- Log file is /root/.vnc/roswell:1.log
- · Then go to the log file and note down the HTTP port value
- · Then type the command “vncpasswd” where it will ask you for the password please give your login password and verify it .
- · The file will look like below where I uncommented two lines next to “#uncomment”
- #!/bin/sh
- # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
- unset SESSION_MANAGER
- exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
- [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
- [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
- xsetroot -solid grey
- vncconfig -iconic &
- xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
- startx &
- · Then go to your Internet explorer and type :http://yourserverip:portnumber/
- · You will get the page requesting for password and enter password.. Then you will see Redhatlinux window(GUI) for you.
