Easiest way to connect it is to connect it to your router with an ethernet cable (you might have to move it close to the router).
Boot, and you should be connected to your LAN / the internet.
Your router can tell you what LAN IP it has assigned to the desktop. You will need to know this. Check by logging into your router from the laptop, and getting it to list the connected devices.
If the desktop is not listed as connected:
Login to your desktop as yourself. Type
Give your password
Press return
Wait a minute, then try
Code:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server espeak
Give your password
Press return
Watch your router's lights they should indicate something is happening.
Wait a few minutes
See if
espeak was installed (I like that idea!)
Code:
echo hello | espeak
If it was, then the
openssh-server should be there as well. Remember, your volume may be turned down too low for you to hear anything, so silence does not necessarily mean "fail".
Now try connecting from your laptop with
ssh. You must do this
once before you can use
sftp and
nautilus to connect.
