Vino not working in LMDE 2014

[takakia]

When you open the Mint menu and search for Desktop sharing, it used to open vino and help setup remote desktop server in Linux Mint. But it is not work in LMDE.

The cli

Code: Select all

vino-preferences

also does not work. only vino-passwd works. Is it a problem in Debian upstream?

Does it work for others?

Take a look at this too. It's for Ubuntu but it applies to LMDE as well. I'm not sure about Petra. http://askubuntu.com/questions/416353/w ... -xubuntu-1

Vino-preferences is gone. So is "Desktop Sharing" in LMDE. Installing gnome-control-center (it does the Desktop Sharing part nicely) is an option but that seemed a like a bit much just to enable Vino in my case anyway.

Some of your other options are... to configure Vino from the terminal window / command line. Or... I eventually installed NoMachine via a DEB package. It works like a dream across Linux and Windows.

Thanks gtsfer

I came across this link too.

I am trying out NoMachine as you suggested

Oh yeah and a tip here.... Firewall allow port 4000 TCP/UDP. Aside from that I had to do nothing special. Nomachine just works!

OK, I managed to get Vino to work on LMDE201403.

vino-server is not enabled so we have to do that first:

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.gnome.Vino enabled true

Still, there is no easy way to configure vino, so we need to get dconf-Editor so we can configure it - install dconf-Editor with Synaptic.

Launch dconf-Editor and navigate to:

desktop.gnome.remote-access

Here you will be able apply the settings to vino like we used to see in previous versions when "vino-preferences" used to work. Password, encryption, notify on connection etc.

Finally, add

Code: Select all

 /usr/lib/vino/vino-server 

to the Start Up Applications and you are done for good!
