Vnc viewer linux mint

Install a vnc server

If you want to ‘see’ your own or someone else’s screen, install a viewer:

sudo apt-get install vncviewer

Start the server on «screen 1»:

vncserver -geometry 800×600 :1

You can change the «geometry» to whatever you like.

To stop the vnc server, remember the command:

where the «:1» is the ‘screen or display.’ It corresponds to port 5901. :2 would refer to 5902 and so on.

To check what’s running try:

To see your own shared screen, type:

This is quite unsatisfying, but now you can have multiple people look at the same screen. To let other people see your screen you can have them ssh in, or you can port forward port 5901 to that linux machine.

The default gives you kind of a nothing screen with just a terminal. If your screen looks «bad,» follow the instructions below based on what you’re running.

MATE

To get mate to show up use the follow text in your

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80×24+10+10 -ls -title «$VNCDESKTOP Desktop» &
mate-session &

Restart your vnc server and retry to connect.

Cinnamon

If you’re running Cinnamon try this in your xstartup file:

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
#sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80×24+10+10 -ls -title «$VNCDESKTOP Desktop» &
#x-window-manager &
# Fix to make GNOME work
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
#/etc/X11/Xsession
#exec /usr/bin/gnome-session —session=gnome-classic &
gnome-session —session=gnome-fallback &

Recommend a VNC viewer

Post by Red Squirrel » Tue Oct 11, 2016 12:13 am

I don’t know why but each distro I try, they never have the same VNC viewers available. So now I’m stuck, can’t seem to find a decent one.

One I used to use was called KRDP or something like that, but I can’t find it for Mint 18.

I just want something that is no frills and has some kind of memory/profile capability so I don’t have to always reenter the same info over and over. I have several windows boxes that I manage through VNC and RDP, so idealy a client that supports both. Anything available that can do these things? Thanks.

Oh did not realize there was a Linux version of RealVNC. Just installed that, thanks. Thankfully no dependencies so it installed easily.

Hi «Red Squirrel», & Anyone Else Interested in this,

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

+1 for the excellent «Krdp» application, which I think is now called «Krdc» (Remote Desktop Connections Client) in Linux Mint 18 and is available in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM), see screenshot below. There is also «Krfb» for desktop sharing.

+1 for «Remmina» as well which has a lot of great plug-ins available in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) as well, search for «remmina», click to install, then right click to see recommended and suggested packages.

Screenshot shows Krdc (Krdp) Remote Desktop Connections Client in front of my Firefox browser.
