Hi Tony, first-time viewer, but THANK you so much. Obviously, I'm a NuBe. I'm trying to get ready for the delivery of my first RippleD Node. I have been a Server Admin for 12 years, but my last interaction with Linux was 11 years ago... :) Anyway, thanks again!

When I use sudo reboot, the vnc closes, how do I activate it again?

Is it ok and safe to leave the vncserver running all the time?

Happy New Year Tony! Thanks a lot for this great video. I am trying to install the desktop Display Manager after entering the command: sudo tasksel. However, I got a list of options different from what you have on your screen on minute 2:46 and I see that I do not have on my list the options: Ubuntu Cloud Image and neither Ubuntu Desktop. Here below the options that I have: 1. Debian desktop environnement 2. GNOME 3. Xfce 4. GNOME Flashback 5. KDE Plasma 6. Cinnamon 7. MATE 8. LXDE 9. LXQt 10. web server 11. ssh server 12. laptop Which one do you recommend me to install? Thanks a lot for your precious help man! Very helpful your video

You forgot to tell, if it's a linux instance, we have to allow port in security group's inbound rules.

Running tasksel gives me a very different set of choices. I'm on Ubuntu server 20.4. Unbuntu desktop is not an option given by tasksel. Any ideas?

i can't see anything when i put vncserver -list on my ubuntu server , why

Great tutorial as always, what’s is minimum VPS requirement for Ubuntu GUI and what have you used in this Tutorial?

hey tony can u make a video on easyengine wordpress tutorial

Why are we creating a new user? I did this and the user ended up with a partition on the server and absolutely no space left in the partition.

i keep getting couldnt start session , please help

ssh no tigervncserver '-localhost=1'' failed: 65280 On my terminal it shows this

Connection was refused by computer ?

For some reason my pi wanted to install debian after hitting tasksel

@Tony, Thanks for this. However I have issues after installation. It's laggy

i did this and after desktop everything works besides the internet. i got 2 eth but not connected, when i click connect nothing happens

if u killed it how do u start it back up?

😮 Larva Lamp 🤩

I can't manage to open any chromium-based browser I install Did anyone else come across that issue?

Thanks

I am getting Black screen , any solutions for that

Hey Tony .. I am unable to connect to tiger vnc-server and it says "Timed out waiting for a response from the computer' . May I know how to fix this ?

I keep getting to "preparing to configure network-manager" and it just stops. What am i doing worng here?

I follow the step to set Slim & tasksel... but I always not able to get into GUI panel after reboot?? What's going on?

Can you instead of a GUI on the server, use RDP? Keep the server headsless but run the GUI apps on the remote client? I know how to use RDP with a GUI server, just wondering if the host actually needs a GUI?

Thanks. -- *AYS

Ive made everything like you, 2 times and still have "Timed out waiting for response from a computer"... can someone help?

Can this be used for running Selenium (say using Python) for a service that needs some Selenium based webscrapping?

Can you please make a video where we can do this using the Windows Remote Desktop Mac App? I think it would look much better visually.

I am getting timeout when connecting to the server

both slim and lightdm failed to install. Loads of unable to fetch errors on both.

Sir, i have three server, After Create DNS i want to divert Globally Traffic by Region, Like Asian Visitor divert on asian Server, African Visitor on African Server..... Already i'm Used this Service on Oracle Cloud, it's Very Costlly / Sooooooo i want this Service on my own VPS, will you please tell How do i do this ??

This is a cool video, but I have a web hosting server that is headless. Can I install gui on that?

you updated to complete desktop ubuntu not good idea

kde + RDP imo

Terminated This does not work! X connection to :1 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

I don't see any reason to not install a GUI on a server for maintenance purpose, so long as you shut it down after you're done setting things up. If you're able to switch between running and not running a desktop environment, then avoiding to install a light weight one makes absolutely zero sense to me. It just seems like a stupid, purist mentality.

I dont have any sort of server thing, just ubuntu server is the only distro that installs on a raid array

Restarting services... Service restarts being deferred: systemctl restart networkd-dispatcher.service systemctl restart unattended-upgrades.service No containers need to be restarted. No user sessions are running outdated binaries. No VM guests are running outdated hypervisor (qemu) binaries on this host.

Thanks
