The commands above will be automatically executed whenever you start or restart the TigerVNC server. Now that we have both Xfce and TigerVNC installed on our server we need to configure TigerVNC to use Xfce. In our case the server is running in port 5901 ( :1), so we’ll stop it with: vncserver -kill :1 Killing Xtigervnc process ID 7264… success! Configuring VNC Server What is important to remember is that when working with VNC servers, :X is a display port that refers to 5900+X.īefore continuing with the next step, first stop the VNC instance using the vncservercommand with a -kill option and the server number as an argument. If you create a second instance with vncserver it will run on the next free port i.e :2 that means that the server is running on port 5902 (5900+2). In our case, the server is running on TCP port 5901 (5900+1). This indicates the display port number on which the vnc server is running. Note the :1 after the hostname in the output above.
VNC CONNECT UBUNTU 18.04 PASSWORD
The first time the vncserver command is run, it will create and store the password file in the ~/.vnc directory which will be created if not present. Use xtigervncviewer -SecurityTypes VncAuth -passwd /home/linuxize/.vnc/passwd :1 to connect to the VNC server.
Starting applications specified in /etc/X11/Xvnc-session
New ':1 (linuxize)' desktop at :1 on machine usr/bin/xauth: file /home/linuxize/.Xauthority does not exist Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)? n You will require a password to access your desktops. If you choose to set up a view-only password the user will not be able to interact with the VNC instance with the mouse and the keyboard. You will be prompted to enter and confirm the password and whether to set it as a view-only password. Do not use sudo when running the following command: Now that the VNC server is installed the next step is to run the vncserver command which will create the initial configuration and set up the password.
VNC CONNECT UBUNTU 18.04 INSTALL
Type the following command to install TigerVNC on your Ubuntu server: sudo apt install tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-common We’ll be installing TigerVNC, which is actively maintained high-performance VNC server. Each VNC server has different strengths and weaknesses in terms of speed and security. There are also several different VNC servers available in Ubuntu repositories such as TightVNC, TigerVNC and x11vnc. Then, type the following command to install Xfce on your server: sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xorg dbus-x11 x11-xserver-utils Installing VNC Server
VNC CONNECT UBUNTU 18.04 UPDATE
It is fast, stable and lightweight desktop environment, which makes it ideal for usage on a remote server.įirst update your system with: sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade In this tutorial we’ll be installing Xfce. There are several desktop environments (DE) available in Ubuntu repositories.
Most servers don’t have a desktop environment installed, so we’ll start by installing a lightweight desktop environment.
