Remote Access with VNC
If there is no convenient way to connect a display to the gplugD, use the following procedure to
remotely access the desktop with VNC:
1.
Visit
http://www.tightvnc.com/
and download the Windows installer for TightVNC. Run the
installer, and at the “Choose Components” screen, uncheck “TightVNC Server” before continuing.
2.
With the gplugD powered up and connected to a wired Ethernet network with Internet access,
get to the shell command prompt using the console serial port or SSH. Install TightVNC Server
by entering “apt-get install tightvncserver” at the command prompt, and approve the installation
of the “xbase-clients” and “tightvncserver packages” (see Figure 11).
3.
Launch TightVNC Server by issuing the command “tightvncserver.” Passwords are limited in
length to 8 characters by the VNC protocol, so use the gplugD root password “nosoup4u” when
prompted (see Figure 12). Also, do not create a view-only password. Take note of the X desktop
name, which should be “gplugD:1” the first time TightVNC Server is run.
