I need to do a remote connection to a Ubuntu PC(need to see the UI) from another Ubuntu PC and Windows PC. I know that we can do that using VNC. Can anyone explain me with the steps or give a proper link which has the instructions.
I followed the following steps: Installed the vnc server in the Ubuntu machine to which I need to do remote access. I followed the instructions in the below link
http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/10/setup-vnc-server-for-ubuntu-gutsy.html
When I do the 4th step:
x11vnc -forever -usepw -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -httpport 5800
I get
20/12/2012 02:12:02 passing arg to libvncserver: -httpport
20/12/2012 02:12:02 passing arg to libvncserver: 5801
