You start the server with :

```
/usr/lib/vino/vino-server

```

Enter this command in your Autostarted Apps if you wish vino to start automatically.
Here is the whole process I do to utilize VNC, simplified

---

ONE. SETUP server

install VNC: `sudo apt-get install vnc`

install openssh-server: `sudo apt-get install openssh-server`

---

TWO. SETUP remote access PC

install PuTTY

install VNC or VNC viewer

---

THREE. Connect and Launch:

From remote access PC:

1. Run PuTTY
2. Connect SSH into the servers IP
3. Log into the server with Login ID and Password
4. A Run: `sudo x11vnc -display :0 -auth guess`

B Else if that doesn't work, run: `sudo x11vnc -display :0 -auth <insert your path to your .Xauthority>`

C Else if that doesn't work, run the commands again but as root.

Then once connection is established...

5. Launch VNC viewer
6. When prompted, enter the servers IP and connect

You now have accessed your server via VNC and should be able to control and interact with that desktop.

Good Luck and Enjoy!!
