vncviewer and SharedAppVnc for the Control Room Macs

  1. To run a vncviewer of the display wall requires an ssh tunnel to nstxwindowspc:

    Click on the X11 icon to bring up an X terminal. Make sure the DISPLAY environment variable is set to your mac. Then run:

    xhost +nstxwindowspc
    ssh nstxwindowspc
    

    On nstxwindowspc set the DISPLAY environment variable to your mac. Then run:

    /usr/bin/vncviewer localhost
    

    Enter the p*ssword (lab name in lowercase, followed by a 4-number sequence).

    This will bring up the vncviewer window on your mac and give you access to the display wall.

  2. SharedAppVnc runs from the command line but not from the icon shortcut. To run it from the command line:
    cd /Applications/SharedAppVnc-OSX/SharedAppVnc.app/Contents/MacOS
    
    Then run:
    ./SharedAppVnc -connectHost nstxwindowspc
