You have to disable any running server before editing that file, even as root, or it can’t save the changes. then save, restart and you are good. (You can always logout then login … no need to reboot)

Hi,
I have an issue. I’m running vino-preferences as sudo and the remote desktop preferences is locked. I can’t edit any of the vino preferences. Can you help me?

Thanks

works like a charm on Xubuntu 10.10 too.

Your instructions work equally well on Xubuntu 10.04. Thanks.

Indeed, very helpful, works on 9.10. Wish I have found it earlier tho.

I think these options are great...for now, but I am so sick of having to write code when using Ubuntu. I understand it is an OS aimed at people like us who do code and tinker, but I wouldn't mind seeing some more fleshed out remote desktop software solutions because I keep running into functionality roadblocks.

Works like a charm. I’ve been trying to do this very thing with other VNC packages, but hadn’t thought to try Vino yet. BTW, I’m running this in 8.04.

Thanks for this entry! I was looking for a way to re-enable VNC/remote desktop access since changing over to xfce. This works even on an older sparc build of Ubuntu 7.10
