Most of the times after installing ubuntu, we forget to enable Remote Desktop. How ever we have installed ssh in all the ubuntu systems. Is it possible to enable Remote Desktop remotely? It will be helpful for us if it is possible.. I hope someone will write a possible solution, thanks in advance..

The GNOME VNC-server vino is started from the command line with:
/usr/lib/vino/vino-server
This can also be done remotely in a SSH session.
Settings for vino need to be made on the remote, e.g. by editing /desktop/gnome/remote_access
with gconftool-2, from the GUI, or by using gconf-editor, or in a GUI with
vino-preferences
This can also be done from an X-forwarding enabled SSH session.

vino-server
shouldn't be called directly from the user. It is activated/deactivated automatically fromvino-preferences
. Moreover,vino-preferences
do not require root privileges.– enzotibJul 31, 2011 at 20:19 -
@enzotib: ty for this. I erroneously thought this was for a root access (which it is not of course) - corrected :)– TakkatJul 31, 2011 at 20:36
