24.8. Disable SMART disk monitoring for guests
SMART disk monitoring can be safely disabled as virtual disks and the physical storage devices are
managed by the host.
# service smartd stop
# chkconfig --del smartd
24.9. Configuring a VNC Server
To configure a VNC server use the Remote Desktop application in System > Preferences.
Alternatively, you can run the vino-preferences command.
The following steps set up a dedicated VNC server session:
1. Edit the ~/.vnc/xstartup file to start a GNOME session whenever vncserver is started. The
first time you run the vncserver script it will ask you for a password you want to use for your VNC
session.
2. A sample xstartup file:
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
#vncconfig -iconic &
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax –exit-with-session`
echo "D-BUS per-session daemon address is: \
$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
fi
exec gnome-session
