I want to install VNC server/client with the GUI in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin.
I found a tutorial for this task. But if I followed this tutorial I will lose my Unity desktop and ends with a Gnome classic desktop. I don't want that.
I can install Gnome 3 as described in this article along with Unity.
My questions are,
Any suggestions are also welcome. Thank you in advance.
Ubuntu 12.04 comes with Vino VNC server pre-installed (but not enabled). So you can simply use that one without the need to install any other VNC server, it works just fine for most applications.
To enable it:
(or if you use gnome-session-fallback, select in the menu: Applications -> Internet -> Desktop Sharing")
Check the box "Allow users to view your desktop"
Check the box "Require used to enter this password:" and type in your preferred password
Click on "close"
and you are good to go.
You can test this right away by trying to connect from any local VNC client to the IP of your machine. If you are behind a firewall or NAT router, you will need to forward port 5900 to your Ubuntu machine.
Hope that help!
