View source for Enable VNC (TightVNC) on Xubuntu 16.04

== Update (2019/Feb/02) ==
If you want to install TightVNC on Ubuntu 18.04 I recommend to use my tutorial for Lxde and Ubuntu 18.04 on [https://github.com/koss822/misc/tree/master/Linux/MySettings/myvnc Github.com/.../myvnc]

== Install TightVNC Server==
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
apt-get install tightvncserver
</syntaxhighlight>

== Configure xstartup ==
Edit file ~/.vnc/xstartup
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
startxfce4 &
</syntaxhighlight>

== Try running it ==
tightvncserver :10 -geometry 1152x864 

''Note: You should run it on screen 10 instead of 1 because screen 1 is used by XServer''

'''Connect:'''
xtightvncviewer server_hostname:5910

'''Kill it:'''
tightvncserver -kill :10

== Install TightVNC Server as Systemd service ==
Create /lib/systemd/system/tightvnc.service

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
