It's described as "Win95-like", which is sufficient for me to run the odd remote app over VNC. I wouldn't use it on my desktop, but for running some apps and providing a user-friendly UI for some windows, it works. It's very lightweight, and provides the basic window widgets you'd expect from a window manager. That said, here's my instructions on how I set up VNC: Nor would any type of video remoting solution save bandwidth, it'd always be more efficient to use the browser locally rather than remotely. Even a gigabit LAN isn't going to work for that without multimedia remoting, and multimedia remoting isn't going to work with web video anyhow.
Best vnc server ubuntu install#
I can just start fresh Can you suggest a package / packages to install that will work with the current Ubuntu 32bit OS, for a functional color desktop environment and VNC support?įirst off, you need to understand that you won't be able to play videos remotely over VNC or NX through a web browser. I must just be missing something, because I have done this on a linode in the past. (VNC connected, but the screen was always blank) I tried 3 different tutorials for setting up VNC and had the same issue with all of them. I was able to establish a connection over VNC, but was not able to get it to render a desktop image, I don't think the desk environment was starting. Ubuntu would be my OS of choice for this project due to packages being available for much of the presentation software. Due to limitations in the speed of the presenters home connection, the movies will need to reside on and be played from the Linode. I have a couple projects where I am going to need to remotely connect to a linode and access a desktop environment with a functional web browser (need to play some movies for a live webinar / classroom style presentation).
