Establishing a VNC connection
The SANE analysis group will utilize a VNC server during analysis meetings to allow all
remote parties to view a common computer desktop. It should be possible to connect to this
session using one of the methods described below. If everything is working right, you'll see
a web browser displaying the SANE homepage with which you can interact normally as in
a standard web session.
If you encounter any problems or need the password, please contact slifer@jlab.org
Whatever platform you use to connect, please make sure to set the "shared" option in your vncviewer as
described below.
From a Linux prompt, type:
vncviewer -shared spin.phys.virginia.edu:29
Enter the password.
Note: If you have nothing to show during the meeting, please add the
-viewonly flag(ie. vncviewer -shared -viewonly spin.phys.virginia.edu:29).
This will establish a session where you can observe but not control what is displayed.
This is important to avoid overloading our old server.
If you don't have the Linux vncviewer, you can do one of the following
Copy the executable to your JLab bin directory:
cp /u/home/slifer/bin/vncviewer $HOME/bin/
