Ubuntu – VNC server on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Unity

16.04unityvnc

Is anyone having problems setting up vncserver with xstartup file to support Unity when remotely connecting over VNC?
I read numerous articles on setting up vncserver on 16.04 but all does not work with Unity hence I need to install gnome-panel, gnome-settings-daemon, metacity, nautilus, and gnome-terminal and add couple of lines for the xstartup to get the the VNC working for Gnome classic and not Unity.

Why Unity has no support for VNC?

Any ideas? And if anyone successfully got VNC to remotely connect to the fully Unity desktop on 16.04 please share the setup.

I don't want to use Vino, I need to have multiple sessions over VNC for other users.

Best Answer

Ubuntu 16.04 has a default VNC server VINO and VINO runs with Unity without problems.
