VNC ports start at 5900 – so when TigerVNC refers to “Display :2”, the port number VNC maps to that display is 5900 + 2 = 5902. Take note of the display number associated with the session.To verify whether a VNC session is already running, use the “-list” argument: $ vncserver - list TigerVNC server sessions : edu : 2 Starting applications specified in / homes / nemo /. 0.1 New '.edu:2 (nemo)' desktop is linux - lab - 069.ece.

The following software is required – it works on both Windows and macOS: VNC sessions will not start if your account is over the disk quota. The ECE Linux Lab systems have VNC software installed.
