I installed x11vnc on Mint and it works fine as long as I have a monitor plugged into the server. I want to run the server without a monitor though. That apparently doesn’t work with Cinnamon. I already bought a dummy plug to simulate a monitor but that seems clunky. Is there a better way? I’m also open to using a different VNC server or even a different distro (as long as it’s not Ubuntu or Arch).
Thanks. I’ve had some problems with TigerVNC. Do you know any good guide on setting it up?
What problems do you have ? From the top of my head it is something like this :
Install the tigervnc-standalone-server deb package on your server
ssh in your server as your user and type :
vncpasswd
Continue and type :
vncserver
On your client connect via a vnc viewer software
This https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/TigerVNC doesn’t read like an easy howto but could be useful.
Cool. I’ll try that tonight.
