How to install VNC on debian 5.0.7

Hi Rinil,

I tried to follow you link, but when I try the following commands it shows an error "E: Couldn't find package vnc4server".

I tried the following

apt-get update
apt-get install vnc4server

Debian 5.x specific instructions for installing VNC:

            #apt-get install vnc4server

Run as the logged in user,  enter the password and confirmation (performance testing):

             #vnc4server

Add service to autorun:

             #gedit /etc/rc.local

Adding before the command "exit 0" the following line:
 
             #su – server -c "vnc4server :1"

Check that its running in rc.local:

             #sudo /etc/rc.local start

Next you must configure a wrapper for connecting a user to VNC, open the file:

            #gedit /home/server/.vnc/xstartup

Get contents of the file and edit accordingly:

#!/bin/sh 

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:

 unset SESSION_MANAGER #uncomment the first line
 # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
 gnome-session & #launch Gnome 

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & x-window-manager &
