I have Ubuntu 15.10 running on my desktop PC and my laptop. On the desktop PC I have enabled sharing in Desktop Sharing Preferences:
Next I am trying to use remmina client to connect to Ubuntu on my desktop PC from my laptop. On my laptop I am doing a quick connect where I am using the hostname for the desktop pc in:
cat /etc/hostname
ubuntu-macmini
