Install VNC server in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric for remote-desktop is very easy. Here are the steps to install :


sudo apt-get install x11vnc
sudo x11vnc -storepasswd yourpasswordhere /etc/x11vnc.pass
sudo chmod 744 /etc/x11vnc.pass


如果没有安装Ubuntu桌面：

sudo apt-get install x-window-system-core

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

然后安装管理器lightdm：

#sudo apt-get install lightdm

Now you should edit your lightdm :


sudo vim /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

#加入下面的一行，重启服务器

greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/x11vnc -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -forever -bg -rfbport 5900 -o /tmp/x11vnc.log

#如果这个文件没有的话，说明lightdm没有安装或者没有启动执行lightdm来启动


#如果连接vnc的时候Failed to load session "ubuntu"的解决办法
