I do not have physical access to a CentOS server I have access only via SSH and it does not have GUI I have only been acustomed to GUIs though I have used ssh in past I installed GNOME Desktop Environment by yum groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment" but then I am not clear wether it is working or not I tried to access it using vnc but then I got errors that unable to open display so I am wondering if X is working on the system or not.Since I do not have physical access so I am not clear with the process.
I added a user for accessing vncsessions edited /etc/sysconfig/ vncservers and in xstartup file of the user in his .vnc directory did changes as mentioned here http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server [vncus...@testmachine root]$ vncviewer localhost:1 VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.2 for X - built Mar 24 2009 19:52:30 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd.
