# Vino

From ArchWiki

Vino is a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) server allowing remote connection to your actual desktop. It is a default component of the GNOME Desktop Environment.

## Installation

Install the package vino, which is available in the official repositories.

If you are running GNOME, you need to restart GNOME so that `vino-server` is started automatically when enabling the remote desktop feature.

## Configuration

You can configure vino via the following command:

    # vino-preferences

Now you can connect remotely to your desktop via a VNC viewer like TightVNC. Remember to forward port 5900 if you are behind a NAT device and to allow the connection through iptables.

If you use a standalone window manager like Openbox and it doesn't work, you can start `vino-server` manually or add the command to the window manager's autostart script

    # /usr/lib/vino/vino-server &
