Setting up a VNC for SVT DAQ work

SVT DAQ system implies running a gui for configuration and data taking. Setting up a VNC can speed up significantly work time. 
It is suggested to setup a VNC server on rdsrv305 as that is directly accessible via internet. 
General informations on how to setup a VNC are given here:
VNC on Unix

This is how you can setup VNC on rdsrv305.

ssh username@rdsrv305.slac.stanford.edu

In the case you don't have access to your home area (try to touch something) try:

kinit
aklog

Then setup a vncserver

vncserver :1 -geometry 2880x1620 # Use whatever resolution your home monitor has

#Fix the permissionsfs setacl ~/.vnc system:slac none
fs setacl ~/.vnc system:authuser noneexit #logout
ssh username@rdsrv305.slac.stanford.edu -L9999:localhost:5901 #port is 590X where X is the monitor number :X
#If you see a black screen with checkmarks to select but you don't see a monitor, take this vncstartup file:
cp ~bareese/.vnc/xstartup ~/.vnc/

You should be able to connect to the vncserver via ssh tunnel through localhost:9999

Before starting working make sure that the heatsink of the FEB is facing upward and the fan is pointing to it. If the FEB overheats it will reset itself (you will see all the leds halfway up).
