Find Theme GDM in Ubuntu 14.04

I need to run the service only in Putty.

Well then you can't have it running elsewhere already.

But you need to step back, this is the same issue you get all the time. You are "in too deep" and trying to get specific answers when you really have bigger questions.

Before we fix this... WHY are you doing this? WHY are you trying to run Vino from SSH?

scottalanmiller

In order to use Vino, you need to disable the existing VNC application.

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Then go into dconf and disable Remote Desktop Sharing. You can't run both at the same time.

But why is the existing VNC system not good enough? Why are you playing with Vino?

I am taking the france server in India by the VNC viewer.
I have given only permission to take 3 session and I need to take the server in VNC by 3 sessions

Same answer as above. You already have a VNC server running. Use the netstat command that I provided to see that. Vino cannot run if a VNC server is already running since port 5900 is already bound and unavailable.

I provided the link to the tool that you need to disable the existing VNC server so you can replace it. But I don't understand why you want Vino. You've not provided any logic for what you are doing. That you need VNC and SSH is fine, but that doesn't address why you don't want to use the included, running VNC server that you already have.

The question is around why are you replacing the built in VNC server, not why do you want VNC. I understand why you want VNC, you are using this as a remote desktop. Although VNC is rarely ideal for that. RDP and NX would be better. But nevertheless, why replace the fully managed, working VNC server?

scottalanmiller

Also, we should look at what Vino is... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vino_(VNC_server)

Vino is a VNC server for Gnome. But this is a thread about your replacing Gnome with XFCE. So using Vino makes even less sense here as this is a thread explicitly about you abandoning Gnome.

Vino comes from 2004 and is so active that its last stable release was two months ago and a preview release was just three days ago. Nice to see so many of these projects with so much activity on them.

The customer need is to use VNC only as remote tools and putty as another option.
I have tested in my machine after four sessions the VNC is not able to connect.
I can use putty to run the above path to restart the VNC session

Understood, but how is this related to my question? My question is not why VNC or if it makes sense. I am purely asking why you are removing the VNC that is built into Ubuntu and replacing it with a different VNC. There is no need to justify wanting VNC. The question is not "Why VNC?", it is "Why Vino?"

Vino is not your VNC server. Why are you trying to run Vino?
