Comment 21 for bug 275340

Hi Jacques,

Sorry I haven't responded to Comment #17 yet. Today, I had time to test it in Karmic, and it works for me.

Here is what I had to do:

On the server:
1) $ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
2) Go to System > Preferences > Remote Desktop and enable the service
3) Open gconf-editor and change the value of /desktop/gnome/remote_access/network_interface = lo

On the client (Option 1):
1) $ ssh -N -L 5900:localhost:5900 ubuntu@10.10.10.69
2) Open Applications > Internet > Remote Desktop viewer and connect to "localhost"

On the client (Option 2):
1) $ sudo apt-get install vncviewer
2) vncviewer -via ubuntu@10.10.10.69 localhost:0
3) Password will be requested in the terminal and a vncviewer window will launch afterwards

Both of these seemed to work for me. Can anyone report having issue using these instructions?
