How to setup Ubuntu with VNC for remote desktop
To run a VNC server on your VPS, you need to have the desktop version of Ubuntu installed. The server version, which you are probably running, is missing some required features.
On your VPS, run the following command to install the desktop version:
Code:sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
After the desktop install is complete you want to make sure GNOME is installed and configured:
Code:sudo apt-get install gdm
Code:sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
Code:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
This step will install tightVNC on the server :
Code:sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
Code:vncserver :1 -geometry 1024×768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565
Code:vncpasswd
Code:vncserver -kill :1
Code:sudo nano ~/.vnc/xstartup
Code:gnome-session &
Code:sudo reboot
Code:vncserver :1 -geometry 1024×768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565
On your PC open up TightVNC Viewer. Set the Host to the IP of your server. Set the Display to 1 (:1).
Enter the password that you set when you started the server and connect. You should be remotely viewing your VPS's Ubuntu desktop!
