Infatuas Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hello All, I am desperately trying to make the full transition into the Linux world from Windows and I have encountered some hurdles along the way that I am trying to overcome. I am currently attempting, yet again, another transition into Ubuntu which I find to be the most suitable for my needs. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my home desktop and installed openssh which is operational and I can connect to from the internet. Additionally, I configured vnc which is a obviously outdated and slow. Ultimately, I would like to use OpenSSH to establish a secure method to view my Gnome Desktop remotely. Unfortunately, I do not know the proper verbiage to properly research and my findings and attempts thus far have been a complete failure. Are there any step-by-step guides that can hold my hand through the process so I can develop a more detailed understanding of how this works? Again, I really need to know what my next step should be to get this working after SSH is operational which it is. How is the "gnome gui" session initiated? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexophrenic Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Use FreeNX from nomachine.com. It works very well. http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Have you tried this Ubuntu wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infatuas Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I did install FreeNX. I was able to connect to from the internet to the machine however, it never fully loaded the desktop and I would only see the background wallpaper.

hexophrenic Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 That is strange, did you select the appropriate windows manager when setting it up? ie, gnome vs kde, etc.? I have not seen that that I can recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
