For information on how to connect to the Linux desktop using VNC, refer to Connecting to the VNC Console in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation.

The Oracle Linux desktop created with this instance includes a variety of useful desktop application launchers (shortcuts). Upon first attempt to use these launchers, a warning will be displayed that suggests the launcher is "Untrusted". This warning is expected. Choose "Trust and Launch" to continue. This will permanently trust the launcher and display the appropriate desktop icon associated with the launcher. Launchers added by this provisioning include the following:

  • Firefox
