Ubuntu 18.04 Virtual Network Computing

To remote control another machine Ubuntu 18.04 in LAN from Windows 10, you can use Remote Desktop Connection.

  2. Click Screen Sharing.
  3. Tick Allow connections to control the screen.
  4. Tick Require a password.
  5. Enter a password.
  6. Turn on Networks Wifi (LAN).
  7. Close.
  8. Disable Encryption.

dconf-editor # launch it

Windows 10 Remote Desktop Connection

  1. Enter these in General, then click Connect,
    2. 
Computer: 192.168.1.100
Username: yui
  2. In the blue screen with a small window at the middle, 
    3. 
Session: vnc-any
ip: 192.168.1.100

Sometimes, RDP Client in Windows does not work that well with vnc. You can install tinyVNC viewer installed in Windows, or Remmina default in Ubuntu.
