How to remotely control the XFCE desktop under Windows system

The default GNOME desktop for Ubuntu can open Remote Desktop directly in the system setup and then access it using Windows Vncviewer. I didn't find the option at the Xfce, but the software x11vnc seemed to me to exist for the same function. The installation configuration process is described below. We need to do two things, install X11vnc server on the Xfce client and turn on the service, and use vncviewer access in the console.

Install the X11VNC service (on the XFCE client)

Install directly

sudo apt install x11vnc

When installed, open the service

sudo x11vnc-forever-passwd

Parameter description

-forever means that the service is always on, that is, you can connect/exit multiple times without this parameter. Log on once and the server shuts down automatically

-PASSWD is used to set the login password, please replace it with the password

After the screen shows 5900 ports have been opened, you can remotely log in from other places

Access from Windows control machine

Windows access software is called Vncviewer, simple access only need a small program of more than 200 K, do not install very convenient.

Download the address you can in the forum or Baidu search, use is very simple, first enter the client IP, and then enter the password.

Comparison

Based on actual experience, the speed of remote control of the GNOME desktop with VNC is unbearable, compared to the control of Xfce a lot smoother.

What is XFCE?

XFCE is a desktop environment that runs on UNIX and unix-like operating systems, such as Linux and FreeBSD, which is primarily set by the mouse, and its profiles are usually not seen by ordinary users. It is designed to be "designed to be used as a practical application, to quickly load and execute programs, and to reduce the consumption of system resources". XFCE also provides the development framework for programmers. In addition to XFCE itself, there are third-party programs that use XFCE libraries, such as text editors-mousepad, multimedia playback programs-Xfmedia and terminal simulators-Terminal emulator.

Xfce is built on GTK + 2.x. It uses XFWM as the window manager. 　　Xfce is a bit like another commercial desktop environment CDE, but it's already a big difference in the new version. The name "XFCE" originally represented "XForms Common Environnement," but since then XFCE has been rewritten two times and no longer uses the XForms toolkit. Although the name is still preserved, it is now not capitalized as "XFce", but as "XFce". The developer's task now is to make XFCE no longer represent anything.

Unlike KDE and GNOME, XFCE is not common in Linux distributions. However, there are still a few distributions that use it as the default desktop environment, but large distributions such as Debian and Fedora Core are only optional accessories. With the maturity of XFCE, there are more and more systems using XFCE as desktop, and Xubuntu GNU, SAM Linux desktop and domestic lucky8k-veket will be XFCE as the default Desktop Window manager.

Xfce is a complete free software. Each standalone component of XFCE is released under BSD licenses, the GNU General Public License, or one of the GNU Library general public licenses. Adherence to standards is a major design goal of Xfce 4, especially those defined on freedesktop.org. This allows XFCE 4 to interoperate seamlessly with programs written for other desktop environments, as long as the desktop environments follow these specifications (standards).
