Ubuntu comes with default remote sharing, to enable that just execute vino-preferences
in terminal and enable remote sharing with password.

So like the subject I am trying to get vnc to work with Gnome. I have installed gnome and vncserver using the following command.
sudo apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktop sudo apt-get install vnc4server
my xstartup file is as follows:
#!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: unset SESSION_MANAGER # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup. [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey. #vncconfig -iconic & x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & #x-window-manager & gnome-session & #metacity & #gnome-settings-daemon & #gnome-panel & #nautilus &
I get a grey window.. I being trying based on the suggestions of google and yet no luck.. Though vnc server works or should I say the display shows up when I use XFCE.. but I am trying to use gnome(not classic)..
Please help..
UPDATE:could not figure out how to get vnc4server/vino to work.. But x11vnc worked just fine..

Andrea Borga about 6 yearscan you consider trying x2go? I find it faster and more reliable on ubuntu these days.

vinay about 6 yearsI did try this first.. But when I try to connect from the Mac with realvnc, it say connection refused.. Also I do get a GTK message: GTKdialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
