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
Port bind 590# with ssh in a new tab or window on your local computer:
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:
Setup macOS
brew install xquartz
export DISPLAY=:0
ssh -Y -C -L 8888:localhost:3670 $YOUR_NETID@banyan.cse.unr.edu
#Separate tab vglrun glxgears
