Ubuntu comes with vino-server pre-installed. Remote desktop uses TCP port 5900.
To enable go to: System - Preferences - Remote desktop
- Check ‘Allow other users to view your desktop’.
- Check ‘Allow other users to control your desktop’.
- Uncheck ‘Ask you for confirmation’.
- Type in the password you want to use.
To enable using a script:
metacity --replace & disown vino-preferences & disown gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled trueCheck if the server is enabled:
gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled
Now you can use remote desktop with VNC, but you need to have a user logged in. To allow remote desktop at boot modify the gnome startup script to start vino-server:
sudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default
/usr/lib/vino/vino-server &
Then add the line 'KillInitClients=false':
sudo gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf
... KillInitClients=false ...
