Hi evrybody

I installed vnc, using this tutorial:

you missed this step:



Ubuntu is nicer if you can choose that instead of Centos.

I have actually been spending a few days installing several desktop environments on centos, ubuntu and suse myself. I followed this wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server

suse uses too much memory, centos is too basic. ubuntu is the one i would use myself.

you missed this step:

No, i didn't. Here is it, i opened "xstartup":

from looking at that file alone, it says your resolution is 80x24. Set it to 1024x768.

Either way, i would suggest following the tutorial i linked to, or at the very least, google "centos 5 vnc" and finding which one is easiest for you. You can even google "centos 5 vnc install script" if you prefer.

you like eye candy desktop?

anyways, it will be a lot lighter if you use lightweight desktop rather than gnome or KDE

[neo2504]

I like a friendly user interface desktop, don't kare if it's gnome, kde or other.
I just need some help to install it.
Tried every tutorial/script that I found, couldn't install vnc.
Is there somebody that can help me? for real.

install nomachine and Genome on your VPS. It supports Clipboard sharing and performs good
