Tigervnc-1.13.1
Introduction to Tigervnc
Tigervnc is an advanced VNC
(Virtual Network Computing) implementation. It allows creation of
an Xorg server not tied to a physical console and also provides a
client for viewing of the remote graphical desktop.

The version of Xorg may
eventually be a few versions out of date, but is required for the
customizations needed for this package.

Installation of Tigervnc
First, make adjustments to the configuration files to make them
compatible with LFS systems:
patch -Np1 -i ../tigervnc-1.13.1-configuration_fixes-1.patch
Install tigervnc by running the
following commands:
# Put code in place
mkdir -p unix/xserver &&
tar -xf ../xorg-server-21.1.6.tar.xz \
--strip-components=1 \
-C unix/xserver &&
( cd unix/xserver &&
patch -Np1 -i ../xserver21.1.1.patch ) &&
# Build viewer
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DINSTALL_SYSTEMD_UNITS=OFF \
-Wno-dev . &&
make &&
# Build server
pushd unix/xserver &&
autoreconf -fiv &&
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/drm" \
./configure $XORG_CONFIG \
--disable-xwayland --disable-dri --disable-dmx \
--disable-xorg --disable-xnest --disable-xvfb \
--disable-xwin --disable-xephyr --disable-kdrive \
--disable-devel-docs --disable-config-hal --disable-config-udev \
--disable-unit-tests --disable-selective-werror \
--disable-static --enable-dri3 \
--without-dtrace --enable-dri2 --enable-glx \
--with-pic &&
make &&
popd
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
#Install viewer
make install &&
#Install server
( cd unix/xserver/hw/vnc && make install ) &&
[ -e /usr/bin/Xvnc ] || ln -svf $XORG_PREFIX/bin/Xvnc /usr/bin/Xvnc
Finally, modify the PAM file to be compatible with elogind:
sed -i 's/pam_systemd.so/pam_elogind.so/' /etc/pam.d/tigervnc
Command Explanations
tar -xf ..
xorg-server...: This command extracts the standard
Xorg package into the tree in a location needed for modification.
--disable ...
: Most options
that are usually needed for the standard Xorg server are not needed
for the Xvnc instance being built.
[ -e /usr/bin/Xvnc ] || ln ...
Xvnc: If the Xvnc server is not installed in the
/usr/bin
directory, then create a
link so the vncserver
script can find it.
Configuring Tigervnc
The default installation of this package makes some changes in the
way it is used. The vncserver perl script is placed in
/usr/bin/libexec and the server is designed to be run via a systemd
style .service file or the vncsession script as the root user. The
man page for vncserver is placed in section 8 of the man pages. The
new procedures require a display manager to be installed.
To restore the previous behavior, install the additional downloaded
files as the root
user:
install -m755 --owner=root ../vncserver /usr/bin &&
cp ../vncserver.1 /usr/share/man/man1
Using the previous procedures, the user specific configuration
files of vncserver reside in the .vnc
directory in the user's home directory. The xstartup
file in that directory is a script
specifying what commands to run when a VNC desktop is started. If
no xstartup
file exists, vncserver will try to start an
xterm in a twm session. An example xstartup
would be:
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
startlxde &
The xstartup
file must be executable
for the commands in it to be executed, so run chmod a+x ~/.vnc/xstartup.
Set up the vnc passwd with vncpasswd. The server can then be
started with the vncserver command. See the man
pages in section 1 for the vncserver for the server system and
vncviewer for the remote system.
