Linux Mint 20 Remote Desktop

[GJQ]

Dear all
I have currently install Linux Mint 20 on 1 pc and Linux Mint 20.1 on another pc. I like to know how do i set up remote access on the pc with Linux Mint 20. I have tried to install tightvnc on Linux Mint 20 pc but when I start the service, I cannot remote access it from Linux Mint 20.1 pc. May I have a step by step procedures to get it to work

Thanks everyone

I'm no expert here, but will try. Some say you need to use sudo and the full path. And I see sites that say to do

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl enable /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@1.service && sudo systemctl start vncserver@1.service

If that doesn't work do some google search on Failed to start vncserver@1.service: Unit vncserver@1.service not found
