Remote Desktop!
Sorry, time for a rant....
Why is it SO difficult to securely (or even insecurely!) remote desktop in Ubuntu/Linux? (Check out the number of basically unsolved forum posts.)
There is NO WAY to simply connect to a desktop (I am talking local network here, same subnet - won't even venture onto anything more widespread.)
Sure, can jump through heaps of hoops, and get some form of VNC connected, Remmina, etc, but don't venture into the security side of things - have to have a degree to get anywhere.
Have used TeamViewer for a while, but it even has issues in the linux world - works fine if you have a logged on machine on the other end, but if it is slightly "remote", and difficult to access, there is no way to remote a "logged off" PC. (and from what I can see at the moment, this is also an issue for VNC, and maybe Remmina.)
Please..... Can anyone give me a SIMPLE method of remoting to another desktop? Preferably to it's Plasma/Gnome/etc desktop, not a cutdown XFCE or similar version.
Yes, I do ssh into these machines and do admin from there, but there are times when it would be SO GOOD (and even essential...) to be able to connect to the GUI.
Wish I was a developer, and had a clue....
Thanks.
