Hi all,
I'm new in the world of Ubuntu. I have a HomeLab created in ESXi 6.5, and also have a virtual machine of Ubuntu 17.10.
As virtualized ESXi virtual machines are only accessible via a remote desktop, I try to setup a decent access to the virtual machine via remote desktop. By serving over the internet I came across several possiblities; best option I found is an option with X11vnc.
As I'm pretty new in linux/Ubuntu I decided to follow a step-by-step plan to make it work. However I'm facing probles in step 3 (manual start of the vnc-server), showing me an error which I cannot solve. The command "sudo x11vnc -auth guess -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /home/erik/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5900 -shared" is showing me the following message:
Since VNC is not working I believe error above is reason of it.
Apart from that. When starting 'x11vnc' from the command line I get following messages:
Somebody who could help me out?
