I'm attempting to set up local screen sharing on a machine running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS desktop. This machine serves as a Jellyfin server and NAS. It has no dedicated monitor.
The problem I'm running into is that the GUI (settings > sharing) seems to have absolutely no control over vino-server.
In the GUI, I can toggle screen sharing on and off, tweak the security settings, etc. The GUI shows the ...
I'm using KRDC 17.12.3 to operate a Mac at the far end of my table, and it works fine except that on the Linux screen the host's pointer shows up as a tiny circle - very hard to see.
The 'show local pointer' option allows me to turn the circle off, but then I have no visible pointer at all at the Linux end!
Is there a way I can force that little circle to be a normal arrow or something else that's v ...
I'm currently using a stationary PC in our living room. Now I'm building a hobby-room where I want to be able to work as well (=accessing all my data and programs). What would be the best approach for this? Buying a second PC and keeping my home folder in sync? Some "thin client" that can access my main computer? Using some sort of remot desktop/VNC? Any other method I don't know about?
My curren ...
I am using Remmina (1.4.21 installed via SNAP) on Ubuntu (20.04.3 LTS) to remote into a mac computer, using VNC plugin for GNOME & KVM; everything works great when I am not using the "grab all keyboard events" option. However, when I use "grab all keyboard events" (which I would like to use), the mouse/cursor immediately disappears.
It is of note that I am also using Remmina RDP protocol to a ...
I have a Ubuntu 21.10 headless and I need to connect to it using remote desktop. When I attempt to start using vncservercommand I get the below too early exit code
hd2900@hd2900:~/.vnc$ vncserver

=================== tail /home ...I would like to use a Digital Ocean droplet through my smartphone with a smartphone-friendly interface. I can connect to a Droplet through a VNC app. Is it possible that I could set up my Droplet with a touchable version of Ubuntu, then interact with it through a touch screen through a remote computing connection such as VNC, on my phone?
I have a fresh install of 21.10 and selected the minimal installation as this will mostly be a hands off machine and I don't need the majority of the extras. This of course does not install vino so I installed this. However the Sharing tab in setting does not show the slider for screen sharing.
I have tried both the Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu with Xorg and this does not help.
Is there something else ...
I am using remmina to connect to remote machines using the RDP protocol.
What I am looking for is to be able to connect to remote machines without having to open the graphical environment.
The way I have found is, first of all, run remmina from the graphical interface and create a host profile, make the first connection via GUI and once I have made the first connection by GUI remmina creates a confi ...
I have previously posted the following question.
For reasons of unknown cause, a huge size of syslog continues to be created
I hastily concluded that this problem was caused by docker, but the same problem continued to occur, so I tried to investigate a little more.
As a result of checking the log in real time through the journalctl-f command,

I have installed Lubuntu desktop on a Ubuntu 20.03 LTS server. The desktop works fine when I log on to it locally. I can see the SDDM and I can chose between various sessions for the desktop (Lubuntu, LXDE, LXQt).
However, I set up a vnc server and I configured (as per the instructions I found online) the ~/.vnc/xstartup fileto looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
xsetroot -solid grey

I have VINO installed to control my PC remotely. But if I reboot my PC (Ubuntu 18.04), the first screen I see is the login screen.
It seems that I necessarily need to log in for Vino to start, because I try to connect to my PC through VNC, the connection fails, but If I make login, after I will be able to connect through VNC successfully.
So, my question is: Is there any way to avoid the necessity o ...
I am using the built-in VNC server, which I believe is called gnome-remote-desktop and is enabled using GNOME Settings -> Sharing -> Screen sharing.
I enabled it on my desktop PC and can connect successfully to it from my laptop PC (the idea behind this is to make it easier to use a single keyboard and screen without having to press button to switch between the two).
However, in order to co ...
I followed this guide to try to connect to my Ubuntu 20.04 machine from my Windows machine; installed tightVNC, changed the xstartup file to show the default Gnome desktop. I start the server with vncserver -geometry 1920x1080 -depth 24.
When I try to connect with VNC viewer however, I see only a blank grey screen. The logs have this line:
/home/username/.vnc/xstartup: 2: def: not found
How can I fix t ...
I'm using a mini PC (8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Intel Celeron J4125I) with Xubuntu 20.04. It runs well with good performance. I've installed Vino to access the server remotely with a VNC client (Windows) and the performance is good.
My only issue occurs when using Firefox and other web browsers. Any web browser is very slow and impossible to use. Other apps, i.e. LiberOffice Calc, video player, etc. wor ...
I have machine with only a Ubuntu 21.04 setup on it. It was at 20.04 before and I used tigerVNC to get VNC to run. All was working when I did an upgrade command and it moved me to 21.04 which I did not expect. Now everything else works but my vncserver command cannot start a vnc session. Instead I get the error:

I also installed gdm3 in order to have a remote desktop to simplify some operations.
To remotely access the desktop I use Zoho Assist but as far as I understand the problem I'm experience is for any VNC connection.
It happens that when I run the PC with monitor attached I can see the desktop. Instead, in the operative co ...
I have two physical machines with ubuntu 21.10 installed, machine 1 screen sharing works perfectly from machine 2 as client and windows machines (it took zero effort!). machine 2 screen sharing is enabled, but nothing can connect to it (tight vnc viewer from windows, remmina from machine 1), ssh is working and I can connect via terminal, there appear to be nothing interesting in the logs to show anythi ...
I tried to follow this guide because I need to do exactly te same thing: after restarting a remote pc, I need to access to the login screen with vnc.
Unfortunately, after giving the command sudo x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -display :0, the server does not start. I also tried to type x11vnc -display :1 as suggested in this post, but it works only if the remote pc i ...
I have an Ubuntu 20.04 desktop at work which I need to remote into. I'm able to with xrdp, but there's a problem:
Every time I remote in it creates a new session, and when I sign in locally that session dies. I want to be able to use the same session every time, like remoting into Windows does.
Now, you might be thinking, oh, why don't you use VNC then?
I want my local screen locked when I've remoted in ...
I am using a Digital Ocean virtual machine with Ubuntu Server 21.04.
I would like to view its GUI through a VNC app on my phone.
I would like the screen to be fit to the proportions of my phone’s available space above the touch keyboard. The bottom half is a terminal which cannot be closed, it is fixed. The top is a window manager where I can control certain window arrangements (viewing one or ano ...
I have a pc with Ubuntu 20.04 that will be in a remote location, and I need to control it from my office, using a Windows pc. I usually use mRemoteNG or UltraVCN Viewer to see the remote desktop. The problem is that when the desktop is locked, I can't access from remote to insert the password; I can only connect with SSH.
Is there a way to unlock the screen from remote? I followed this guide, but it o ...
I need to connect to Ubuntu 20.04 from Windows with VNC; I followed this tutorial and I tried both with UltraVNC Viewer and TightVNC Viewer, but in both cases after inserting the password I only obtain a grey screen...it looks like I am connected, but I can't see anything.
Any suggestions?
I am using vino (with the default screen sharing integration in Ubuntu) as a VNC server and vinagre as the client.
I can connect the machine when the screen is awake with no problem. However, any attempt to connect when the screen has gone to sleep mode results in an instant Connection refused error.
Waking up the screen fixes it, but it kinda defeats the concept of remote access =)
I also don't want t ...
I am having a huge problem accessing my server through VNC as I get "Too many authentication failures" way too often. At first I was solving it by connecting through SSH and restarting the VNC server, but this is not an option anymore because I am training Deep Learning models that can take days to finish, and by restarting the server, the training crashes too. I've also tried the trick with resetting th ...

I'm running an Ubuntu server with Digital Ocean. I want full UI access, like a personal computer, however this is hard. I have a VNC server running. When I connect, the only way I can open windows, is if I manually go into the Digital Ocean and run a command to open GUI, like firefox. Is there a way I can get a taskbar? A terminal window? Shortcuts?
Thanks!
I have followed to the letter instructions from https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/ubuntu-desktop-aws#2-setting-up-tightvnc-on-aws to install Ubuntu Desktop on an EC2 instance.
I have opened both port 3389 for RDP connection, and 5901 for VNC connection. If I connect through RDP, with Microsoft Remote Desktop, everything works fine, except an extreme lag, which I don't think is due to the EC2 instance, as I a ...
I am using the RealVNC server which uses vncserver-x11-serviced. According to the documentation, one can run the daemon at startup using systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced.service command.
How to make it run before a user logs in to the account?
This is necessary when you reboot the system. In that case, the RealVNC server does not start listening until one actually logs in to the system which ...
RealVNC viewer on Android tablet and Windows 10 pro PC. RealVNC server on raspberry pi 4 8gb running ubuntu 20.0.4 with XCFE desktop. When viewing/running the pi from any platform with a monitor attached to pi, it operates normally. It's quite snappy. If you disconnect the monitor from the pi, it slows to unacceptable speeds, e.g. type a letter, 2 seconds later it appears. Same behavior on wired or wir ...

Looking thru all the "system settings" i don't see anything relevant.
Not a problem on lubuntu 20.04.
How do i get TigerVNC fullscreen on just one screen in KDE?
