VNC to Ubuntu LTS

<< < (2/3) > >>

Neil Waldhauer:
This must be the vino server. I didn't install anything, I just enabled VNC in settings. This is Ubuntu LTS 22.04.

Andy Willis:
I got it working using tigervncserver on Linux Mint.  Installed stunnel rather than changing the binding. 

Andy Willis:
I also installed xrdp and am using freerdp to connect.  I've found it has been more stable.  VNC keeps just closing out, I am not getting any popuplog.os2 entries nor any exceptq files so I don't know if it is the VNC client crashing, a problem with the VNC server or if maybe the network is blipping and rdp is able to keep going while VNC does not.

Greg Pringle:
When SUSE enterprise went from 15.4 to 15.5 vnc stopped working. does not accept password.

I went to the /usr/bin/vncserver script was not found in 15.5 so I copied the 15.4 version to 15.5 and removed the line "$default_opts{rfbwait} = 30000;"

Then I use this to start the vnc server for a one time connection:
vncserver :2 -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24 -autokill

that works.

I've found that RDP keeps reconnecting occasionally, which looks like the network drops out momentarily and RDP reconnects without my really noticing it but VNC is not as tolerant to these drop outs.
