How to share Ubuntu Desktop using VNC ? *The Wayland problem
by Xeratul from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KKC8)
Hello,
How to share Ubuntu Desktop using VNC ? *The Wayland problem
X11vnc will not work, and you cannot type:
Code:export DISPLAY=:0 ; x11vncSecondly, tiger is NOT desktop sharing.
You can run VNC from almost anywhere, that includes Ubuntu 20.04, and even a home router with OpenWRT, or docker, with tigervnc-standalone-server or xtightvncserver.
It's not going to share your existing desktop, like x11vnc or tigervnc-scraping-server does, but it will create a new VNC Server that you can connect to using the normal VNC clients - both from the machine itself and from other machines.
Any other ideas using Wayland planet?
Thanks
Kind regards
