VNC sessions

if your laptop runs a VNC client, that's the easy way to run interactive tools on faraday

on faraday

faraday runs a vnc server, and here is how to create a VNC tunnel

example from a MAC:

• ssh -L localhost:5901:vnc-your_slicename:5900 your_slicename@faraday.inria.fr
• while this is running I can use e.g. the VNC Viewer app on the MAC
  and connect to localhost:1, in order to get an interactive X11 session on faraday
• using port e.g. 5902 instead of 5901 means I need to connect to localhost:2

other OS'es:

• significantly easier from a linux box

  vncviewer -shared -via your_slicename@faraday.inria.fr vnc-your_slicename
  

• see detailed instructions for other OS'es here (on faraday itself):

  less /usr/share/doc/vncserver-sop/README.txt
  

  where you replace SERVER with faraday.inria.fr and LOGIN with your_slicename
