Share Cinnamon desktop through vino-server
Linux Mint Cinnamon Desktop Sharing
Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon desktop comes with a pre-installed vino-server for VNC desktop sharing, which makes it easy to connect to the linux desktop using vncviewer, previously there were many problems with using vnc4server for desktop sharing in ubuntu, and there were also alternative solutions for using xfce for desktop sharing on the Internet. However, these results are not satisfactory, so we found the vino-server solution.
Vino-server Configuration
You can use the dconf-editor GUI to configure vino-server.
Start dconf-editor and enter the command dconf-editor. If dconf-editor is not installed, use sudo apt-get install dconf-editor to install it.
On the left-side panel of dconf-editor, navigate to org-> gnome-> desktop-> remote-access, and you can see various configuration options for desktop sharing.
VcmQ = ".
Note that the password is Base64 encoded. Therefore, enter the Base64 encoding of the password to be set, rather than the password you want to set.
You can also choose to enable other options:
Notify-on-connect: desktop notifications are displayed when vino-server receives connection requests.
Prompt-enabled: remote users are not allowed to access the desktop through the VNC tool, unless the VNC request is authorized by the owner of the desktop.
To enable the Desktop Sharing Service, use the dconf-editor mentioned above. You can also run the following command:
Gsettings set org. gnome. Vino enabled true
