im new in ubuntu and i dont know how install this server , ¿is there some .deb version for install this server?

mikeumus commented 8 years ago

There is nothing mentioned for how to connect to a server in the app's description or here in a ReadMe or Wiki. It just says it's based on VNC Viewer?

@JuanJ67m, the answer is you go here: https://www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/ Install VNC free version, get the free license and then it'll give you the IP once the program is running. Hope it helps! :wave: :smile:

It's designed to connect to any VNC server, of which there are many for Linux, and other platforms including Windows. This is merely a compatible client. Getting a compatible VNC server downloaded and installed is outside the scope of this project.

I don't think there's any need for documentation on how to use the software, it works very similar to all other remote desktop software. To connect to a server simply click the yellow + to get to the "edit connection" menu, give it a name, put in the ip:port, and a password (if applicable).

Yes but it should at least be mentioned. Given at least one sentence. This is our first time trying to deal with VNCs.

I'm afraid this project is a bit dormant as I don't have much time to work on it, but if you want to contribute I'd be happy to accept a good Readme.md pull request.

On ubuntu you can search your apps for "remote desktop" to configure VNC. For more detailed instructions go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers

If the VNC client complains about encryption then run the following on the host: gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false
