Thread: remote desktop enviroments
my system ubuntu 11.10 , have installed gnome.
when login @ console can set desktop enviroment gnome.
how do when remote in ?
when try remote in using vnc console getting errors if console not logged in.
how switch session if multiple id's logged in @ same time ?
in ubuntu user enables vnc sessions enabling vino server start listening when logged in.
if nobody logged in ssh box root, start x11vnc this:
x11vnc -nopw -once -auth /var/lib/lightdm/.xauthority -display :0
(not secure on public lan!!)
vnc session the lightdm login screen enter username , password , select session type want (kde, gnome etc)
if use "ssh -l5900:localhost:5900 user@linuxbox" forward port own machine, on machine "vncviewer localhost:5900"
(notice 5900 might change 5901, 5902, depending on concurrent sessions)
use x11vnc -auth guess , x11vnc -auth find find proper display managers authorization cookie key file.
