Anydesk on Ubuntu Server - GUI not launching
by axolinx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5R34X)
Hello guys.
I have an Ubuntu server 20.04 running at home. I am currently traveling overseas, so right now i have no physical local access to the computer.
I installed the Ubuntu Desktop on it so i have a full GUI interface, and i am able to access it with xrdp.
Performance is terribly slow accessing with RDP, and i tried installing anydesk, but for some reason it wont launch.
Installation goes without issues, and i see the Anydesk icon in the list of programs, but clicking on it does not open the anydesk GUI, so i do not know what is the code to access it.
I also tried runnig it from the terminal... same thing, i can see the anydesk service running in the background, but the GUI is not opening.
Maybe anydesk was made this way to not be used on servers?
Remember i DO NOT have local physical access to the server, but i am accessing it remotely either with SSH, or XRDP, just in case this makes any difference.
Please let me know if there is any trick to see the anydesk ID so i can access the server with it.
Thank you.
