Using VNC with Terminal Server Client on Ubuntu
Posted on February 5th, 2009 by Alejandro. Filed under Linux, Ubuntu, terminal.
The VNC client bundled with Ubuntu, Vinagre, works half the time. Fortunately, we can also VNC with the installed “Terminal Server Client”
The “VNC” option with the default installation of Terminal Server Client is disabled or grayed-out.
To enable it you need to install the xtightvncviewer package in Synaptic or with the following command on the terminal
sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer
Done!
UPDATE: To also enable the XDMCP protocol option, sudo apt-get install xnest

Hi!
I did as you said, and was able to connect to a desktop via TSclient -> VNC.
But things went haywire when I tried disconnecting…I clicked on the "Log Out" tab, and since then, have been unable to connect back to that desktop.
I can still connect to other desktops, it's just the one I logged out on that keeps troubling me.
Could you throw some light on this?

Do you have physical access to the remote desktop?
