Hello everyone,

I am playing with Fedora 15 Alpha and Ubuntu 11.04 Beta. How can get remote desktop sharing working in Gnome 3 and Unity?

thanks,

On desktop version go to System>>Preferences>>Remote Desktop.

Thanks EDDY1,

It works in Ubuntu 11.04 beta, but there isn't "System>>Preferences>>Remote Desktop" in Fedora 15 alpha even in 'Classic GNOME with Compiz' session.

I've got remote desktop sharing working in Gnome 3 using x11vnc:
Fedora 15 example:
- Install x11vnc:
as root user

Code:

# yum install x11vnc

- Set the password:
as everyday user

Code:

$ /usr/bin/vncpasswd

-I don't need make it auto-start when the user logs, so I've logged on to remote computer via ssh and ran:

Code:

$ x11vnc -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -display :0

and connected to remote computer using vnc-client.
