Vino-server, enable with GUI
Ubuntu comes with vino-server pre-installed.
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.
Enable with script
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
Note:
- Now you can use remote desktop with VNC, but you need to have a user logged in.
- Remote desktop uses TCP port 5900.
Start vino-server at boot
Note: The following didn't work for me, instead I leave a user logged in and lock the screen
---
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 ...

VPN problem 'Bad checksum from pppd'
Todo: but maybe we want to have mppe-128?
