How to Install and Configure VNC on Ubuntu 16.04

Introduction

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop sharing system that allows you to remotely control another computer. It is especially useful for accessing remote machines that do not have a dedicated monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Step 1: Install the VNC Server

The first step is to install the VNC server on the Ubuntu 16.04 machine. Open the Terminal and enter the following command: 

sudo apt-get install vnc4server

This will install the VNC server on your machine.

Step 2: Configure the VNC Server

Next, you need to configure the VNC server. Enter the following command to create a new configuration file: 

vncserver

You will be prompted to set a password for the VNC server. Enter and confirm your password.

After setting the password, the VNC server will be started on port 5901. You can verify this by running the following command: 

netstat -tln | grep 5901

This will display the status of the VNC server on port 5901.

Step 3: Connect to the VNC Server

To connect to the VNC server, you will need a VNC client. You can download a VNC client such as RealVNC or TightVNC from their respective websites.

Once you have installed a VNC client, open it and enter the IP address of the Ubuntu 16.04 machine followed by the port number 5901 (for example, 192.168.1.100:5901). You will be prompted to enter the password that you set in Step 2.

After entering the password, you should be able to remotely control the Ubuntu 16.04 machine using the VNC client.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured VNC on Ubuntu 16.04. You can now remotely control the machine using a VNC client.
