This will include the x11vnc server in the list of startup applications. Next, enable the X11vnc service in order to auto-start on boot time. With the service config file in place, notify the systemd service of the change made as follows. Save the changes and exit the configuration file. Be sure to set a strong password for security reasons and to prevent other users from accessing the system. Note: The my-password attribute represents the VNC server password for providing VNC client access to the server. Īfter=rvice network.target syslog.targetĮxecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -forever -display :0 -auth guess -passwd my-password In addition, it will force the server to restart automatically in case of any failure. The service file will start the x11vnc server and make it easy to seamlessly manage the service. We will use the nano text editor to create the service file as shown. Once the X11VNC server is installed, the next step is to create a systemd service file. This installs the X11VNC server alongside other additional packages and dependencies. To install the x11vnc server on ubuntu 20.04/22.04 on the command line, run the command. Change and select the 'lightdm' option and hit ENTER.
By default, this is set to gdm (GNOME Display Manager) for Ubuntu systems. This is a program that provides graphical login capabilities. This is because Wayland doesn't allow to display x11vnc (only works with X11).ĭuring the installation process, you will be prompted to choose a default display manager. Note: For users using GDM make sure to disable Wayland by uncomment line #WaylandEnable=false setting in /etc/gdm/nf file. Later in this guide, we will show you how to configure it as the default display manager. Next, install the lightdm display manager. To get started, first, update the package lists. The X11vnc server package is available on Ubuntu repositories and can be installed using the APT package manager.
