Setup

ssh -Y -C $YOUR_NETID@banyan.cse.unr.edu
mkdir ~/.vnc
nano ~/.vnc/xstartup.turbovnc #You can use vim too. Put these contents in the file
#!/bin/bash

#uncomment following line and comment out vglrun line if unstable
#dbus-launch /usr/bin/startxfce4 &
vglrun startxfce4
chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup.turbovnc
#Run vncserver with OpenGL
/opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver -vgl

You should get input that looks like this:

Warning: banyan:1 is taken because of /tmp/.X11-unix/X1
Remove this file if there is no X server banyan:1

Desktop 'TurboVNC: banyan:2 (newellz2)' started on display banyan:2

Starting applications specified in /home/newellz2/.vnc/xstartup.turbovnc
(Enabling VirtualGL)
Log file is /home/newellz2/.vnc/banyan:2.log

Take note of this line:

Desktop 'TurboVNC: banyan:2 (newellz2)' started on display banyan:2

The :2 is the port. Typically its 5900 + n. So in this case it's 5900 +2 = 5902

In a new terminal tab or window:

Port Bind 590# with ssh

ssh -L 5902:localhost:5902 newellz2@banyan.cse.unr.edu

Now launch the TurboVNC viewer

Put localhost:2 in the VNC Server field and connect.

You should be able to connect and run OpenGL Applications:

When done:

Run:

/opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver -kill :#

The number is the session number from earlier

Setup macOS

brew install xquartz
export DISPLAY=:0
ssh -Y -C -L 8888:localhost:3670 $YOUR_NETID@banyan.cse.unr.edu
#Separate tab
