VNC server on Ubuntu 12.04 is not working -- external VNC clients cannot access

  • 772

I did:

sudo apt-get install vnc4server

then:

vncserver

But VNC viewer at a Windows computer could not access the Ubuntu.

Then, I did:

sudo apt-get install gnome-core

But still no access.

    Ubuntu already has a VNC server called vino. Vino is pre-installed.

    If you run

    vino-preferences

    you will get a dialog box to help you configure the VNC server, and even make your computer accessible for VNC from the Internet (if you wish to).

    I recommend removing the packages you installed and use vino.

    In addition, the pre-installed VNC client for Ubuntu is remmina.
