FarmVNC
This page documents a new script - farmvnc - which has been introduced with the upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04. The steps involved in setting up VNC on Farmshare are largely the same with just the change of substituting farmvnc script instead of vncserver.
running farmvnc
First, run farmvnc to see what resolution's are supported:
$ module load farmvnc $ farmvnc please give desired resolution on command line: for example: farmvnc 1440x900 you can choose any of the following 1024x768 1280x1024 1440x900 1920x1080
I am using a macbook air so I will choose 1440x900 so that full screen vnc will match with native mac resolution.

At this point, we need to setup an SSH tunnel so that the vncclient that we need to run on your desktop/laptop can connect to the vncserver that is now listening.
If you are running linux or macos on your laptop/desktop I would suggest cutting and pasting the ssh command that is displayed in the output of farmvnc into a new terminal window. For example I would run this command. Keep in mind that the username and port numbers will change from what is written here.
ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 bishopj@corn01.stanford.edu
