Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Installing Remote Desktop on Ubuntu

[Ruriko]

I have ubuntu 10 LAMP so I installed ubuntu desktop. When I first connect to vnc I get 3 error popups saying

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet".

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet".

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_IndicatorApplet".

All 3 ask if I want to delete but I selected no. I can't run any programs

how you are connecting ?

[Ruriko]

I use TightVNC to connect to my remote desktop

[BMurtagh]

Is there a specific reason you need to vnc into the ubuntu box? The only real reason to VNC would be for a graphic view of the desktop instead of using ssh for command line use.

If that's a remote server, you could consider using NX instead of VNC, as it gets along with less bandwidth.

NX is really cool thing, better then VNC and you can use RDP as well
