Enable VNC for Linux VMs 编辑

VMs might not be set up to support Virtual Network Computing (VNC), which Citrix Hypervisor uses to control VMs remotely, by default. Before you can connect with Citrix Hypervisor Center, ensure that the VNC server and an X display manager are installed on the VM and properly configured. This section describes how to configure VNC on each of the supported Linux operating system distributions to allow proper interactions with Citrix Hypervisor Center.

For CentOS-based VMs, use the instructions for the Red Hat-based VMs below, as they use the same base code to provide graphical VNC access. CentOS X is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux X.

Enable a graphical console on Debian VMs

Note:

Before enabling a graphical console on your Debian VM, ensure that you have installed the Citrix VM Tools for Linux. For more information, see Install the Citrix VM Tools for Linux.

The graphical console for Debian virtual machines is provided by a VNC server running inside the VM. In the recommended configuration, a standard display manager controls the console so that a login dialog box is provided.

1. Install your Debian guest with the desktop system packages, or install GDM (the display manager) using apt (following standard procedures).

2. Install the Xvnc server using apt-get (or similar):

   apt-get install vnc4server
