I have a headless Ubuntu PC running 18.04.1 Desktop. If I plug a monitor into it, Vino starts automatically and I can VNC into the box. I did set the "Sharing" item in the control panel to share the screen.

I followed the instructions here to install the dummy monitor.

If I ssh into the box and manually start Vino with

/usr/lib/vino/vino-server --display=:0

then it works fine and I can VNC. How can I make it work without needing to do this?

Thanks.

After startup, click the square array of dots in the lower left of the screen.

Type 'startup applications' (no quotes) into the search box that appears at the top of the screen. Clock on the resulting icon.

Click Add at the right of the box, Type 'start vino' in the Name box, and paste /usr/lib/vino/vino-server into the command box.

Click Add at the bottom of the box.

Close the app.

You're done.

  @cvocvo AFAIK you have to log in somehow to get a desktop, and vnc is a desktop sharing thing. But I am not very knowledgable, maybe ask a new question on the site.

The following also works, and makes use of the systemd unit file that is installed by the Vino package, so I assume this is "the right way":

sudo ln -s ../vino-server.service 
 /usr/lib/systemd/user/graphical-session.target.wants
