==== 6.1(OPTIONAL): Remote Desktop Access with x11vnc and TigerVNC ==== x11vnc is like teamviewer if teamviewer were open source and 50x slower. x11vnc allows you to connect to your server’s GUI for remote access, as if you were right in front of the computer, without having to be in the room with your computer. Up until now, we have been SSHing into the machine in order to enter terminal commands, but normal SSH won’t work if we want to use the graphical user interface, see a mouse cursor, etc. <blockquote>'''Note:''' If you are ok with sitting in front of your server computer with a keyboard, mouse, & monitor plugged into it when using virtual machine manager, this step is ''unnecessary'' and you can feel free to skip it. </blockquote> This will walk you through setting up remote desktop access to your Ubuntu Server using x11vnc and TigerVNC. I like using '''virtual machine manager''' GUI to install virtual machines on the main server. Since we keep going to the GUI to install virtual machines & use '''virtual machine manager''' via the GUI, we’re stuck sitting in front of the server, which sucks if it’s in a closet or garage. Here’s how you can connect to it to view what is on its screen from another computer. <span id="installing-x11vnc-on-ubuntu-server"></span>
