• Changing name for VNC Server.
    6 replies, posted
Ok, so I'm running ubuntu 10.04, with an AFP server and a VNC server to get at the thing, I've got the AFP server all nicely set up and advertised over bonjour, but I have no idea how to change the name for the VNC server. At the moment it's simply "matt's virtual desktop on ubuntu", I'd much rather it was something simpler. I know it's probably a single command in terminal, which is what's really frustrating me, I couldn't find anything about it by googling...
What VNC server "program" are you using?? I assume X11vnc.
Whatever come's built in, I should know but I don't. Give me a minute and I'll find out exactly. [editline]10:55PM[/editline] According to Ubuntu Software Center it's just called Remote Desktop.
vnc://<username>@<hostname> So change your username and hostname accordingly.
There's no way to set it manually then?
