'''NOTE2: This is specific to setup VNC for Mac machines.'''<br />
'''NOTE3: From these notes we should create steps to setup VNC for developers'''<br />
= Ubuntu =VNC is not running by default.ssh as root and run this: start x11vnc= Mac OS X === How to connect ===== From a Mac client ===
* Use Apple's Remote Desktop - VNC that comes with the Mac machines
* Use the FQDN, e.g: vnc://talos-r4-snow-001.build.mozilla.org
=== From a Linux client ===
Remmina Desktop Client has been tested as a Linux client that managed to connect to Mountain Lion. Other versions have not been tested.
Once you run those commands you will be able to VNC and you will have to use your cltbld credentials. You might have to connect a second time for the connection to stick.
=== From a Windows client ===
TightVNC has been tested by Honza to work to connect from Windows to a Mountain Lion releng machine.
Honza has determined that real VNC free is faulty
== VNC status as-is ==
Each of our Mac versions have slight differences with regards as to which user to login with once you have VNC'ed into the machine.
You might need to go through the section "Enable legacy VNC and set the password" depending on the version of Mac.
=== Mac OS X 10.6 - Snow Leopard ===
Login as the root user with the root password. It will take you to the Builders's session.
=== Mac OS X 10.7 - Lion ===
No need to figure out. As far as I know we don't have the need to VNC into build machines.
=== Mac OS X 10.8 - Mountain Lion ===
Mac relengers can login with the root user, however, you will be starting root's VNC
session without being able to see what is happening under Builder/cltbld.

=== Mac OS X 10.9 - Mavericks ===
TBD
== Setup for loaning ==
'''NOTE: Please add notes once you figure it out.'''
== Enable legacy VNC and set the password ==
We have to enable legacy VNC and set a new password (as I can't figure out what the current password is):
