Ubuntu 18.04 Server - GUI remote access












1















I have installed new Ubuntu Server with GNOME GUI. I configured Remmina to remote desktop. It works fine. However, I need remote access enabled, without first having to log in locally on the box.



How can I enable graphical remote control, without first having to log in locally on the machine?

  • Nope, I wrote that I need set autostart remmina before fist log in. Your suggestion is after log in. This is server. I need set this service the same like ssh, whose start automatically after boot.

  • Remmina is a Rdp client? It doesn't make sense in my opinion to start this before login.

  • Tell this microsoft where remote desktop works after boot system and before first log in from many years. Serwer is in another location so when I restart it, how I can remote to this? I must go there, login first time and after then can remote from my office. Where is sense to go to another location after every restart? I can't start remmina even I connect via ssh on user, this will be another way to resolve my issue, but can't. So I start thinking about autostart remmina.

This is what I used for x11vnc, this may help you with your problem with just switching out the program and names.



# Step 8 - Create the Service Unit File

You can add the a line in /etc/rc.local which is the path to the program you want to run. So if the program/file/script is in /etc the line you will add would be like as following:
/etc/file name

This worked for me with out a hitch so far.
