I am having issues setting up VNC server on Fedora 21 droplet. To be exact, I am having issues following Step 5 on
http://www.tecmint.com/install-tightvnc-remote-desktop/
as there is no vncserver file under /etc/init.d
but i do see it under /usr/bin
However when i execute
#/usr/bin/vncserver start
xstartup script is not created in my user’s home directory (/home/remote_user/.vnc) Below is the command and the output
#/usr/bin/vncserver start
usage: vncserver [:] [-name ] [-depth ]
[-geometry x]
[-pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN]
[-fp ]
[-cc ]
[-fg]
[-autokill]
vncserver -kill
vncserver -list
Please help debug this.
