Step Two - Configure VNC Serverįirst, we need to tell our VNC server what commands to perform when it starts up. With these packages installed, you are ready to configure your VNC server and graphical desktop. Vncserver completes the installation of VNC by creating default configuration files and connection information for our server to use. This is a helpful option if you want to demonstrate something to other people using your VNC server.) Users who log in with the view-only password will not be able to control the VNC instance with their mouse or keyboard. (After you set up your access password, you will be asked if you would like to enter a view-only password. To complete the VNC server’s initial configuration, use the vncserver command to set up a secure password: vncserver
Sudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies tightvncserver We can get the XFCE packages, along with the package for TightVNC, directly from Ubuntu’s software repositories using apt: sudo apt-get update In this example, we will install XFCE4, which is very lightweight while still being familiar to most users. If this is the case, we’ll need to begin by installing one that we can work with. Step One - Install Desktop Environment and VNC Serverīy default, most Linux server installations will not come with a graphical desktop environment. Once you have your non-root user, you can use it to SSH into your Ubuntu server and continue with the installation of your VNC server. If you haven’t done this yet, you can run through steps 1-4 in the Ubuntu 14.04 initial server setup guide to create this account. You will need an Ubuntu 14.04 server installed and configured with a non-root user that has sudo privileges.
Prerequisitesīefore you begin with this guide, there are a few steps that need to be completed first. This choice will ensure that our VNC connection will be smooth and stable even on slower Internet connections.
The VNC server we will be using is TightVNC, a fast and lightweight remote control package. In this guide, we will be setting up VNC on an Ubuntu 14.04 server and connecting to it securely through an SSH tunnel. VNC makes managing files, software, and settings on a remote server easier for users who are not yet comfortable with working with the command line. I renamed the executable to something simple, like VNC.VNC, or “Virtual Network Computing”, is a connection system that allows you to use your keyboard and mouse to interact with a graphical desktop environment on a remote server. I downloaded a portable version of uVNC viewer (1.2.0.1) from here:
