Remote login using x11vnc for Hoary (Xubuntu) Server
Installation of x11vnc server (port 5900) to the remote desktop (RD) PC (tested using KRDC)
- Install x11vnc and set VNC password for security, as it is described here.
- Enable remote desktop login: open with sudo the file
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf
find and change the following lines of [xdmcp] section to be:[xdmcp]
Enable=true
MaxPending=4
MaxWait=15
DisplaysPerHost=2
Port=177
Willing=/etc/gdm/Xwilling - Turn on VNC server after each reboot: open with sudo the file
/etc/gdm/Init/Default
and append the line:/usr/bin/x11vnc -dontdisconnect -shared -forever -rfbport 5900 -bg -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -rfbauth /home/your_login_name/.vnc/passwd
beforeexit 0
line. This way you can login to the remote PC, without loosing your login session each time you disconnect your VNC client. Thus, the next time(s) that you will connect with your VNC client again, you will see your RD session (until you logout -or reboot- the remote PC). - Turn up VNC server after each login: open with sudo the file
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default
and append the line:/usr/bin/x11vnc -dontdisconnect -shared -forever -rfbport 5900 -bg -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -rfbauth /home/your_login_name/.vnc/passwd
beforeexit 0
line. This is a workaround to the known problem of gdm, which kills x11vnc server after login. Note however that, in order to login to remote PC using this workaround, you have to connect twice with your VNC client:- the first one to give login and passwd and
- the second to use your remote Xubuntu Desktop.
- Restart gdm:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

Remote login using x11vnc for Jaunty Kubuntu
Installation-configuration of x11vnc server (port 5900) to the remote desktop (RD) PC (tested using KRDC)
- Install x11vnc:
$sudo apt-get install x11vnc
- Set VNC password for security (password is saved by default in ~/.vnc/):
$x11vnc -storepasswd
- Enable remote desktop login: open with sudo the file
/etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc
find and change the following lines of [Xdmcp] section to be:[Xdmcp]
#Enable=false
KeyFile=/etc/kde4/kdm/kdmkeys
Willing=/etc/kde4/kdm/Xwilling - Turn on VNC server after each reboot: open with sudo the file
/etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup
and append the line (see also the 4th comment(σχόλια) of "Ed" for a better solution):/usr/bin/x11vnc -dontdisconnect -shared -forever -rfbport 5900 -bg -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -rfbauth /home/your_login_name/.vnc/passwd
This way you can login to the remote PC, without loosing your login session each time you disconnect your VNC client. Thus, the next time(s) that you will connect with your VNC client again, you will see your RD session (until you logout -or reboot- the remote PC). - Restart kdm:
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
or (better?) reboot remote PC.
