Here's what I did to get VNC working with Ubuntu Server Edition version 10.10 x64.

1. In a plain SSH window to the server, type:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop tightvncserver

Hit enter when it asks to confirm that you want these packages installed.

2. Type these commands:

Code: Select all

tightvncserver -nolisten tcp :1

3. It will ask you for a password. Choose a good one here, and enter it twice, as it asks. Then tell it "n" when it asks "Would you like to enter a view-only password?" (unless you want one). When you run tightvncserver again after your next boot, it will not repeat these questions.

4. Open up a VNC viewer application and connect to w.x.y.z:1, where w.x.y.z is your server's IP address. It will ask for the password, and then display a desktop window to you.

Note that we recommend against running desktop applications on a server, for performance, security, and stability reasons. As Ubuntu docs state, a web-based administration package is usually a better choice (or simply using the command-line directly).
