Configuring & Connecting to SUTs

Linux

Once logged into your Linux machine, you're going to need to install a VNC server which will allow incoming connections and then collect your IP information.

Note: Ensure you're using GNOME desktop environment as there are known issues for use with KDE.

  1. Open a new Terminal window.
  2. Log in as the root user.
$ su
// system should prompt you to enter password for `root` user
  1. Run the following command to install TigerVNC and a corresponding fonts package:
$ yum -y install tigervnc-server xorg-x11-fonts-Type1
  1. Gather IP address information for machine. Note: It is best to ensure the machine has a static IP address. If it does not, or you do not what this means, please contact your internal IT support team before moving forward.
$ ifconfig -a
// copy the value for the inet property (ex. 192.168.1.215)
