I have setup my ubuntu machine to allow remote connections (with a PIN), and then I used Mac's VNC viewer Share Screens to connect to it, and it works. However, it always connects to a new session, meaning that I can't see/use the windows that I already have open. Some apps like Firefox won't even let me start them, since they say an instance of the program is already open.
Is there a way to VNC directly into the existing session?
This is old, but I have run into the problem before. The fix for me, is when telling the client to connect to the Ubuntu machine, instead of:
1.2.3.4 as the IP address,
1.2.3.4:1
The :1 specifies which existing instance to use, instead of creating a new instance. Instance 1 is the regular everyday user instance.
