Tested in Ubuntu 16.04 desktop Gnome+Unity in Vmware.
OBS: pure server will automatically start X in reboot and will lack of something, e.g. Default Terminal etc.

FIREWALL #

TCP port 5900+N (N is monitorId, starts from 1.)

TIGHT.VNC AS SERVER #

TightVnc allows us to start from a server without X11 and do everything in command line, remotely.

install (either already with or w/o desktop) #

sudo su: use root can avoid weird problems, see “ps”.
