Windows OS: TightVNC, RealVNC, or UltraVNC. Also, the VNC client we will be using connects through the SSH tunnels. PrerequisitesĪn Ubuntu 20.04 server with a non-root user and an uncomplicated firewall (UFW).Ī local computer with a VNC client installed on it. Finally, we will use a VNC client program on our local machine to interact with the server through a graphical desktop environment.

We’ll start with setting up a VNC server on an Ubuntu server and establishing a secure connection through the SSH tunnel.
REAL VNC CONNECT UBUNTU 16.04 INSTALL
We’re going to install Xfce because of its speed, lightweightness, and excellent performance. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of installing and configuring VNC on Ubuntu 20.04.

Among the list of alternatives available, you are free to choose any VNC at your convenience. RealVNC, UltraVNC, Xfce, TightVNC, to name a few, are the most popular VNC clients used today. VNC is safe, secure, and works on all operating systems. It uses the remote frame buffer protocol allowing one server (user side) to connect with another side (client). This is a test set up on an AMD 64bit desktop so I dont know for sure it will all work on a Mini or that everything works 100% but perhaps it maybe of some help.Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a screen-sharing system used to access graphical user interfaces remotely. Without doubt,IMHO, its a mess compared to Windows or RPI Mate/Stretch using Realvnc server - as for the googled junk on VNC its a case of seeing the wood for the tree's
REAL VNC CONNECT UBUNTU 16.04 UPDATE
NOTE Update there is still some manual work to set up permanent passwords (the GUI passwords only stay for a session) and I am yet to test headless) Used this write up to install KDE Desktop /how-to-install-kde-plasm.-bionic-beaver-linuxĪnyway it works, no (well nearly) editing files a simple way to get remote desktop working - see attached screen prints The latter,Gnome desktop !) does not seem to do anything but X11VNC Server provides a nice simple GUI to configure the service to how you want it to work(See note at the end regarding headless). I switched desktop from std Gnome Ubuntu 18.04 to KDE Plasma(can choose which to login too !) and found "Discover" which allowed a simple install and set up of X11VNC Server and Desktop Sharing programs. Vino-preferences also seems to have gone or hidden. I ask because although Vino is supposed to work out of the box - it doesn't even appear (or work) unless you use the default Gnome desktop which Kstars doesn't like (graphics are u/s ). You say Ubuntu 18.04 is that a true Ubuntu 18.04 or Mate base? It may sound a stupid question but what Desktop are you using - Gnome,KDE etc? Then go to org -> gnome -> desktop -> remote access and deselect "require encryption".

Start it from Applications -> system Tools -> dconf editor. In order to configure vino you'll need dconf-editor. vino *needs* to run unencrypted otherwise RealVNC cannot connect. However, I have setup a fixed ip address on eth0 (since I always use wifi at home) and connect to it from my MacBook, which I also have given a fixed ip address (since I always use wifi otherwise) no but you do need to know the ip address in order to make a connection.

I only have Mac machines (iPhone, iPad and MacBook) and I use RealVNC I make sure that my user automatically logs in into Ubuntu and added vino as a start up application (System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Startup Applications). I am not saying that my solution is the best, but I use vino and that works very well for me.
