Title: Remoting to a "build" system...
Post by: MoreBloodWine on July 25, 2015, 09:49:18 AM
Ok, so I'm trying to learn linux so I can do more with making my own builds from source but I want to do this remote so I don't need all my systems near me. Well, I have a build laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and using VNC just find on it with VNC locked to the launcher along with other items like System Settings, the FireFox browser etc.

So my question is, how upon system boot can I get VNC to auto launch so I don't need to click it ?

I have read people suggest tight VNC well, I don't have it and already have the 5x VNC server installed form realvnc.com.

So if your still with me, I would love an answer, Ty.

I assume that you are talking about your remote system and not the viewer or local system your connecting from. So you want your remote linux system to load VNC server upon boot?

Both systems are in my home and about 20ft apart. Just easier to use one system and remote the other.

But the system I remote to is on Ubunto 14.04 LTS... I have VNC pinned to the launcher / sidebar on the left. After bootn it auto logs me in but to start the VNC server, I need to click the VNC icon in the launcher. This is what I would like to start on boot / after login for the user, which at present is just the one set up during the install.

Hope this makes a bit better sense.

Thats how i do it, but with fedora. I dont know what the current commands are for ubunto to update-rc.d vncserver, but something like that to update what starts at whatever run level you boot into.
