If you are not familiar with this process, see this page for Ubuntu 18.04 or this page for Ubuntu 20.04, but for the 18.04 instructions scroll down to the section headed “Ubuntu Desktop” – it’s where you will find the first screenshot on the page. This is done by clicking on the Network icon in the upper right of the desktop and changing the settings associated with the correct network interface. If that is the case, consider giving it a static IP address. If this is going to be primarily a media center or home theater computer, you may want to be able to always find it at the same IP address on the network. If you aren’t familiar with that process, see this tutorial.

After doing this you should be able to set up Screen Sharing from the System Settings menu. Note that “Vino” is capitalized in the above line – it won’t work if the V is lowercase. Then, to make it possible to connect from a remote client (particularly one running on a non-Linux system), open a Terminal window on the Ubuntu system and enter this: The first step is probably only necessary if you did a minimal install of Ubuntu, but you can try it anyway just to make sure it’s installed: If you want to install vino there is a two step process, and the second step must be done directly from the system running Ubuntu 18.04 desktop – you cannot do it through a ssh connection. If you plan to do all the configuration directly on the Ubuntu desktop system then you do not need either of these. Similarly, vino allows you to use any VNC client to remotely access the desktop on your system. If you install openssh-server you will be able to ssh into your system from another computer on your network (which gets you to a Linux command prompt, similar to running the Terminal program), and this will make things easier if you wish to do any of the installation steps from a different system. Optional – Install openssh-server and/or vino

Not all of these steps are necessary, and we will tell you which ones are optional.ġ. We also followed essentially the same procedure for Ubuntu 20.04.
