Problem with Real VNC Win32 client to TigerVNC server on Oracle Linux 6.5 through ssh tunel

Ivan_DOct 7 2014 — edited Oct 9 2014

Hello,

Installed Oracle Linux 6.5 with recommended  packages.

Now trying to set up gnome or KDE environment to establish X desktop environment.

With yum successfully installed Tiger VNC on Oracle Linux x64.

Now trying to establish access from Windows 7 ( 32 bit ) workstation with Real Win VNCviewer to Oracle Linux server.

vncserver -list on the OL 6.5 give me following list:

vncserver -list

TigerVNC server sessions:

X DISPLAY #     PROCESS ID

:02             29010

:1              28946

processes with vnc substring on server ( ps -ef | grep vnc ) are following:

oracle   28163     1  0 Oct06 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xvnc :3 -desktop perun.nijz.si:3 (oracle) -auth /home/oracle/.Xauthority -geometry 1024x768 -rfbwait 30000 -rfbauth /home/oracle/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5903 -fp catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d -pn

oracle   28169     1  0 Oct06 ?        00:00:00 vncconfig -iconic

root     29010     1  0 Oct06 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xvnc :02 -desktop perun.nijz.si:02 (root) -auth /root/.Xauthority -geometry 1024x704 -rfbwait 30000 -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5902 -fp catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d -pn -localhost

root     29016     1  0 Oct06 ?        00:00:00 vncconfig -iconic

OL 6.5 server is accessible through ssh shell.

So as understood need to provide X access using ssh tunelling.

According to these recommendations Using VNC to a Linux system

I get blank screen with X window and unable to do anything except closing or generating new sessions.

Accroding to this reccomendations How to remotely display and control a Linux desktop from a Windows or Linux system using VNC

get no succesfull connection to server.

Grateful for experience or example that works of those of you, who suceeded to make vnc connection from win to OL 6.5 through tunelling with ssh.
