Exceed to remote connect to Linux box

in this post, I will introduce the steps that is required to make connection to the linux box. 

 

Xstart

 

First you need to install the HummingBird Exceed.

 

Then you first start the XServer, which will be minized when it is starts.

 

there are two approaches that you can take.

first, you can start with the xstart. on the logon window, you can click on the "Browse" button to the Command box, you can select the host on the following window.

Click OK, and you can see the following.

 

 

You may ensure you are using hte RLOGIN as the execution method. and you may need to 

 

Method: RLOGIN

Command:  @(XTerm, method=stdappdb) -display @d&@;

 

ensure that you are using the correct user and password.

 

and then click on the green button to start,  you will see a xterm window coming up, you can start 

 

 

gnome-session

 

to start gnome desktop manager.

 

REXEC

The above requires you to do logins that means you need to input as reply the user name and password, with rexec, you can directly launch a xterm. make sure you have 

 

Method: REXEC

Command:  @(XTerm, method=stdappdb) -display @d&@;

 

and make sure there is no background exceed running(not sure if necessary), then click the green button to start, you will see

 

the server has to be configured to suppor the above mention start method.

putty and Exceed

First, you need to enable X11 forwarding, as follow.

make  a new connection and check the DISPLAY variable.

 

 

kulxdesktop19$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:11.0

 

from the Putty, you can directly start the xterm from the putty window. the rest should be the same as xstart.

 

 

vnc

 

 

% module load fsf/tightvnc
 % vncserver

 

 

 

  You will require a password to access your desktops.

 

Or you can use directly use this (the newer version), which is much more stable

 

 

/ms/dist/fsf/PROJ/tightvnc/1.3.10/bin/vncserver

 

 

on Aurora linux, you may run this

 

 

/ms/dist/fsf/PROJ/tightvnc/1.3.10/bin/vncserver -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc

 

 

make the ${HOME}/.vnc/xstartup executable

 

 

chmod +x ${HOME}/.vnc/xstartup

 

 

 

now you can start the client on windows

 

\\ms\dist\fsf\PROJ\tightvnc\1.3.10\bin\vncviewer.exe 

 when you are done, do this to kill the server.

 

 

   % module load fsf/tightvnc
   % vncserver -kill somehost:1

 

 

If you forget your password to connect to the vncserver, you may need to change the password with the following command

 

 

nvcpasswd

 

 

When you are on full screen, you can do this to un-full screen

 

---------------------------
VNCviewer full-screen mode
---------------------------
To exit from full-screen mode, press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F.

Alternatively, press Ctrl-Esc Esc and then right-click

on the vncviewer taskbar icon to see the menu.

OK
