| cnuulhu | Is there a go-to VNC (or other remote desktop protocol) that integrates best with MATE? | 18:36 |
|---|---|---|
| cnuulhu | VNC server* | 18:36 |
| cnuulhu | Use case is for my father, who's been using Linux day-to-day for his work since before I was born, but never really picked up the troubleshooting skills; so want to be able to control his screen when needed. | 18:36 |
| alkisg | Check out https://epoptes.org | 18:57 |

| cnuulhu | Woah! Might be overkill for my purposes but really cool to know about. | 19:01 |
| coconut | cnuulhu, i don't use mate currently, but gnome connections might be an easy one? | 19:12 |
| cnuulhu | Looking for the server, not the client, but yes asking if there's anything that's similarly standard on the server side. | 19:14 |
| cnuulhu | So choosing between tightvnc, x11vnc, and xrdp, but can't find any good comparison between them. | 19:15 |
| coconut | cnuulhu, i haven't used remote desktop a lot under linux do can't really advise.... cnuulhu, i would ask this in #ubuntu , you'll get twice the response. | 19:18 |
| coconut | *so | 19:18 |
| cnuulhu | Many thanks. | 19:21 |
| cnuulhu | Shall do. That on Libera as well? | 19:21 |
| coconut | yeah -> #ubuntu | 19:21 |
| alkisg | cnuulhu: it needs 1 MB RAM, so it's the lightest there is | 19:38 |
| alkisg | It only invokes the vnc when needed | 19:38 |
| alkisg | And, your father doesn't need port forwarding; only you need it | 19:38 |
| alkisg | and he also doesn't need a static ip or a dyndns one | 19:39 |
| cnuulhu | Oh, dang, that's really nifty. | 19:39 |
| cnuulhu | Not needing port forwarding is a big plus. | 19:40 |
| alkisg | xrdp would give you a separate session, not the one your father works on | 19:41 |
| alkisg | x11vnc is used by epoptes, it's very nice but not automated; epoptes automates it | 19:42 |
| alkisg | tightvnc is fine too; x11vnc is lighter though | 19:42 |
| cnuulhu | Aaand you gave me the comparison I was looking for, in addition to a great recommendation. Thanks! | 19:46 |
| Swift110-mobile | hey | 21:21 |
