![]() The vncserver binary file is a helper application which takes a simplified list of parameters and uses vncconfig and Xvnc to launch an instance of the VNC server more easily and conveniently than requiring the user to manually use vncconfig and Xvnc.This will start a separate desktop to which one might connect using a VNC client – to learn how to share your current desktop instance (the one you use at your physical desk), see the x0vncserver entry below and later the superior tigervnc-server-module solution.The file is a template systemd service unit file which can be quickly modified by the user and placed in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory to cause the vncserver application to start automatically when the system enters the multi-user.target.The vncservers file simply points to the new file used by systemd.The vncpasswd file allows the user to create a password file (in $HOME/.vnc/passwd by default) which can then be used by Xvnc to authenticate users based on the password file provided.The vncconfig file is a helper aqpplication for Xvnc which is used to configure and control a running instance of Xvnc.The Xvnc file provided in the tigervnc-server-minimal package is the actual server software.Here’s a quick breakdown of the contents: If you’re reading this guide, you will definitely want to install the tigervnc-server package. Tigervnc-server /usr/share/man/man1/x0vncserver.1.gz Tigervnc-server /usr/share/man/man1/vncserver.1.gz Tigervnc-server /etc/sysconfig/vncservers The latter adds: $ rpm -q -filesbypkg tigervnc-server ![]() Tigervnc-server-minimal /usr/share/man/man1/vncpasswd.1.gz Tigervnc-server-minimal /usr/share/man/man1/vncconfig.1.gz Tigervnc-server-minimal /usr/share/man/man1/Xvnc.1.gz Tigervnc-server-minimal /usr/bin/vncpasswd Tigervnc-server-minimal /usr/bin/vncconfig The former package contains these files: $ rpm -q -filesbypkg tigervnc-server-minimal If you want to run a VNC server on your system so that you can connect to it from other systems, you may choose to install only the tigervnc-server-minimal package or both it and the tigervnc-server package, which depends and builds on the minimal package. ![]() If you want merely to view VNC sessions on another system, install the tigervnc package. For some reason, I had a hell of a time finding good documentation regarding this simple subject matter, so here you go:
