can you share console commands for LXDE, iam using haphost free alsoQuote:
Just to explain this a bit.
This isn't just VNC, VNC is like teamviewer, It only allows you to see what's happening on desktop and doesn't give you any kind of desktop, What you are using is called Ubuntu desktop which I don't recommend because It uses much RAM.
I suggest using LXDE desktop, Uses 60 MB ram only, I've it running on 128 MB vps like charm (haphost vps[free])
Thanks for this anyway :)
how much space this require? if is more than 3 gb then i need to look for other method lulz, ths a lot @Chillivanilli you are my idol :P
Ubuntu Desktop is about 1gbQuote:

Thanks for the nice words :)
I tried installing lxde light + only the programs i need, but for some reason when i start my bots it is slow like hell. I open firefox and it takes about 5-10 seconds to load a new site. When i click an item it also takes much more time. When i looked into my ressources with free -m there was much more free ram.Quote:

I reinstalled ubuntu desktop again and it was running smooth again but i had a higher ram usage.
Any idea?
Well, In the end, It's a light desktop interface, You can't expect it to work functional as well as Ubuntu Desktop (which is originally made for ubuntu lol)
I use LXDE desktop to run Hitleap on Ubuntu 14.04 (Could install it for anyone, Just hit me with a PM)
thank you chili, this is very detailed guide
thanks bro :)
chilli what's this problem ?Quote:
Because of an exploit ( btw.: to be a VIP on a2s rocks! :) ) some people asked me how to setup a linux VPS for desktop connection like RDP on Windows.
Here is a simple step by step guide for absolute beginners how to connect to your Ubuntu VPS (the commands on other linux OS are a bit different).
You can't really make mistakes by using this guide.
Requirements for your home PC:
- Tight VNC(DOWNLOAD)
- PuTTY (DOWNLOAD)
1. Open a connection from PuTTY
Type in the IP from your server and the port (default is 22, so if you don't know the port, dont edit it) and click on "open"
http://i.imgur.com/LmYzdxX.png
Then you'll see a console window asking you "login as".
Type in: root and click enter, then type in your password and click enter.
Note
When you type there are no characters or *** shown, so you have to take a look at your keyboard to avoid making mistakes. After that your console will look like this:
http://i.imgur.com/qZQzB8I.png
You find this easy? Great, because that was the hardest part, after that you will only do copy and paste work!
Copy / paste in PuTTY is not like on windows "CTRL + C ; CTRL +V".
If you want to copy something from Windows, just use CTRL + C, but if you want to paste it in the console, just do a right click it gets pasted.
2. Update and upgrade Ubuntu
Depending on the internet connection of your VPS this will normally take about 10-20 secondsCode:apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade -y --force-yes
3.Install GUI on Ubuntu 14.04 Server
This will take a little bit more time, so just wait until its finished.Code:apt-get install xubuntu-desktop xfce4 firefox nano -y --force-yes
4. Install VNC Server on Ubuntu 14.04
5. Add a user + passwordCode:apt-get install vnc4server -y --force-yes
Now you'll need to add a user and a password with which you want to login to vnc. In this case it's the user "vncuser"
6. Switch to the created userCode:adduser vncuser
7. Start VNC serverCode:su - vncuser
This is needed because VNC server needs to create some files first, which we can edit after this step
8. Kill VNC serverCode:vncserver
9. Edit xstartup fileCode:vncserver -kill :1
This will be a little bit more complicated now, but don't worry, it's also very easy if you follow my steps:
You will see something like this now:Code:nano .vnc/xstartup
http://i.imgur.com/dDpNHV0.png
Now press the DEL key on your keyboard and delete everything!
When you are done, just copy this code and paste it:
Now press CTRL + X to save it.Code:#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
startxfce4 &
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
Now press Y to confirm it and press enter to finally save the file.
10. Get root access and edit vncserver file
Enter your root password now and hit enter.Code:su -
This creates a new file. Now paste this code into the file again:Code:nano /etc/init.d/vncserver
Press CTRL + X, then press Y and finally ENTER to save the file.Code:#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO

echo -n $"Starting $prog: "

su ${USER} -c "vncserver -kill :${display%%:*}" >/dev/null 2>&1

echo -e "\n"

sleep 3
start $@
fi
;;
status)
status Xvnc
;;

echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|condrestart|status}"
exit 1
esac
11. Make the VNC startup script executable
12. Create the VNC server config fileCode:chmod +x /etc/init.d/vncserver
Create the directory
Create the fileCode:mkdir -p /etc/vncserver
Copy and paste this code again now:Code:nano /etc/vncserver/vncservers.conf
Press CTRL + X, then Y, then ENTER to finally save the file.Code:VNCSERVERS="1:vncuser"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1024x768"
12. Make VNC server start on boot
13. Reboot your VPSCode:update-rc.d vncserver defaults 99
Finally you need to reboot your VPS
Code:reboot
14. Connect with TightVNC
Now you'll need to connect to your VPS with TightVNC.
Open TightVNC Viewer and put in your IP address. After the IP address, write :1
That means that you are connecting to the IP on port 1.

Finally click on "connect".
You will be asked for a password. Enter your password which you've chosen to you vncuser.
Now you are connected via desktop connection with your VPS!
It will look like this:

Click on "Use default config".
Congratulations, that's it! You have created a desktop connection to Ubuntu 14.04!
NOTE:
If you want to run my java bots which i posted in the subscriber section, you'll need to download java first and after you've done that you'll need to mark the .jar file as executable.
If you don't mark it as executable, the following error will occur:
http://i.imgur.com/vuwlny1.png
To install java, click here:
http://i.imgur.com/LgP0Dxk.png
Then search for OpenJDK Java 7 and click on install.
http://i.imgur.com/ezyWbO9.png
Now open the Terminal.
Type in this code:
In my case to mark my iRazoo bot as executable i have to type in this code:Code:chmod +x pathtothefile
chmod +x /home/vncuser/Desktop/iRazooBot_v1.4_by_Chillivanilli/irazoo_bot_v_1_4.jar
Thats it!
I hope you enjoyed my step by step tutorial and could create a VNC connection to your Ubuntu VPS.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I dont know.. I'd say that this vps got some restrictions and you cannot install software? Can you install other things? From which provider is this vps?Quote:
