Just for VNC on Ubuntu:

#Right lets get this done
# (c)ThomasGlassUK.com
echo "Updating your system. This could take time depending on your connection & how much to upgrade."
sudo apt-get -qq update
sudo apt-get -y -qq upgrade
echo "Installing VNC packages"
sudo apt-get -y -qq install xfce4 xfce4-goodies tightvncserver
echo "Please configure VNC"
vncserver
vncserver -kill :1
mv ~/.vnc/xstartup ~/.vnc/xstartup.bak
echo "#!/bin/bash
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
startxfce4 &" > ~/.vnc/xstartup
sudo chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup

echo "Now lets configure the user & resolution"
echo "What user is to be logged in for the VNC:"
read user
echo "What resolution would you like the VNC to be?:"
read resolution
sudo echo "
#!/bin/bash
PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin/"
export USER="$user"
DISPLAY="1"
DEPTH="16"
GEOMETRY="$resolution"
OPTIONS="-depth ${DEPTH} -geometry ${GEOMETRY} :${DISPLAY} -localhost"
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
" > /etc/init.d/vncserver
echo "All done. CentOS & debian coming soon"

Like what are you looking to manage?

noaman · March 2015

Hmm what options are you wanting to manage "all" is too many

noaman · March 2015
