First, uninstall and delete unnecessary software in the system
apt-get purge apache2* bind9* samba*
Uninstall unnecessary software to reduce system resource occupation and improve utilization. During the uninstallation process, you will be prompted whether to continue. Enter y to continue.
Second, upgrade the system environment and the latest package, and install nano tools
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install nano
Third, install the desktop environment
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
During the installation process, it will be mentioned to select the country, input method keyboard, code, etc. We can directly enter all. As follows:
Choose console country from the list, for example.: USA
Select keyboard layout, for example.: USA
If asked, choose optional keyboard shortcut to switch keyboard languages, for example.: Alt + Shift
Choose console charset, for example.: UTF-8
Choose console font: . Combined – Latin; Slavic Cyrillic, Hebrew, basic Arabic
Fourth, set Gnome and XWindows desktop environment
/etc/init.d/gdm start
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Fifth, install TightVNC
apt-get install tightvncserver
Sixth, set VNC login password
vncpasswd
Then you need to enter the password twice. You can't see it. We need to see it clearly and don't enter it incorrectly. There will be a prompt of Would you like to enter a view only password. Here I enter n without setting.
Then set the following window:
vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565
Seventh, set Gnome's window manager
By default, the VNC server is not the window manager of Gnome. To enable the VNC server to use Gnome's window manager by default, we should configure the following files.
nano ~/.vnc/xstartup
Open the xstartup file and check whether the line "x-window-manager" is # commented out. If not, please comment out. If it is already commented out, don't bother. Then add gnome session&in the last line, so that all the scripts we see are as follows:
#!/ bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/. Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
#x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#x-window-manager &
# Fix to make GNOME work
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
/etc/X11/Xsession
gnome-session &
VIII. Set startup
update-rc.d ssh defaults
Ninth, check whether VNC is running
ps aux | grep Xtightvnc
If you see the prompt Xtightvnc: 1-desktop X-auth in the above figure, it indicates that it is already running.
Tenth, restart VPS to take effect
reboot
After restarting VPS, we use VNC tool Links. If the link fails, you need to execute the following script in SSH first:
vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565
Then log in to the desktop by linking VNC tools.
