When you run "vncserver" for the first time, it will ask you to set a password. Set up the VNC server for the user you wish to log in as.It can be installed with Synaptic, or with sudo aptitude install tightvncserver. This VNC server has excellent compatibility with clients, and provides reasonable compression for slow networks. In this case, my server runs MythTV on the normal X server connected to my TV, but starts up Azureus and K3B in a VNC session so I can access them without bothering those watching TV. This is especially handy if you are running a headless server, or are using the primary display for other purposes. The only problem is that to get the VNC server running, you have to be logged in! Luckily, it's not too difficult to create a script which starts up the server as soon as your system boots. For example, with Gnome, it's very simple to set up remote access to your desktop with the included Vino application.
If you're trying to access some http service on the remote system, just forward the port directly for that service rather than using vnc.Ubuntu makes many things easy. Note, usually it will be painfully slow to run a browser remotely. You can prove this to yourself by running tightvnc in a VM on your local machine, connect to it, and you should be able to go for hours without having the connection reset.
One of the routers along the way is timing out your connection. Your connection to that server isn't very good. Once you have a remote terminal open, use /usr/bin/firefoxĪlso, after sometime, I get the following error message:Ĭlient_loop: send disconnect: Connection reset by peer You'll probably need to run apt install firefox or use dnf or some other packaging tool.
Try right clicking the desktop and see if "Xterm" or "Terminal" or something like that is an option.Īssuming Firefox is installed on that system (note - it's probably not). If you can see the desktop via VNC, then you're probably just looking at a desktop environment that you're not familiar with. How do I open a web browser on a VNC session?
I am able see the desktop, but I cannot see Chrome, Firefox etc. Probably could have edited your question to be more clear instead of posting a completely separate question.
