Now, you may want to reboot the instance. # x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: The xstartup file should now look like below: #!/bin/sh Add the lines unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and startxfce4 & after the second commented-out line (ignore the instructions in the file to uncomment both lines). In this case, I use the nano text editor: AWS:$ nano ~/.vnc/xstartup Now, stop the vncserver application: AWS:$ vncserver –kill :1Įdit the vncserver configuration file, ~/.vnc/xstartup. It displays the locations of these files on the screen. When vncserver runs for the first time, it sets up a default configuration file and a log file.
#MOBAXTERM AWS PASSWORD#
Choose your password and enter it at the prompt, then enter it a second time to verify. It will ask you to create a VNC password. Next, run the VNC server to set up the configuration.
#MOBAXTERM AWS INSTALL#
Login to the AWS server: Laptop:$ ssh -i ~/Documents/Ubuntu-2-keypair.pem the XFCE desktop and a VNC server: AWS:$ sudo apt-get updateĪWS:$ sudo apt-get install xfce4 vnc4server Remember, we are using the new user-id brian I previously created, not the default userid ubuntu. To install xvnc4viewer, run the command: Laptop:$ sudo apt-get install xvnc4viewer See the Ubuntu documentation for information about other VNC viewer applications. I chose to use xvnc4viewer, the default for Xubuntu (I use Xubuntu on my laptop. On my laptop computer, I install and use a VNC viewer application. We will install the XFCE Linux destop environment and a VNC server on the remote Amazon AWS server.
Switch to this new user-id before continuing. Please see my previous post for the procedure to set up a new user. Important: Create a new user-idĬreate a new userid that has a password before continuing.
X11 display forwarding is already built-in to Linux so I will only cover it briefly.
#MOBAXTERM AWS HOW TO#
In this post, I will mostly discuss how to set up and use VNC.
The X Window System, via SSH display forwarding.VNC, Virtual Network Computing, via SSH port forwarding.There are two common methods for accessing a remote server’s graphical user interface: In this example, I chose to run the XFCE desktop environment on the Amazon AWS remote server because XFCE uses less resources than other desktop environments such as Gnome or KDE. In this post I will show how to install a Linux desktop (in this case, XFCE) and how to set up either VNC or X11 on a server and client. Then, I need to set up the server and my client devices to allow the graphical user interface displayed on a remote server to be viewed on a local client. To accomplish this, I first need to install a Linux desktop environment on the remote Ubuntu server. I want be able to access a network simulator from any device such as a personal computer, a tablet, or even a smart phone. Now I would like see if I can run one or more of the open-source network simulators I’ve been using on this remote server. In a previous post, I showed how easy it is to set up a remote server on Amazon’s AWS service.
