The 'Remote Desktop Viewer' is the Vinagre client & is matched with the
Vino VNC server.

<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC>
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers>
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Clients>

However, Remmina is now the default RDV, so can try that as well. You
can easily add additional protocol packages for Remmina to support RDP,
VNC, NX, XDMCP, SFTP and SSH.

In order to connect to the other computer you'll need to enable the Vino
VNC server via 'Desktop Sharing' See:
<https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/sharing-desktop.html> Note:
*always* set a password.

Once you've set up desktop sharing, open the 'Remote Desktop Viewer' and
click 'Connect', select the VNC protocol, enter the IP address in the
'Host' box, or click the 'Find' button and that should find your other
computer by computer name, click 'Connect' and the window should go
black & then prompt you with 'VNC authentication is required' to enter
your password. Enter the password & click 'Authenticate'.

Remmina Remote Desktop Client is a little more cumbersome at first in
that it doesn't have the 'Find' button. However, if you click on the
down arrow at the right side of the 'Server' box, it should show your
other machine's IP address.

Try them both & use whichever one you are most comfortable with.

Compdoc and NoOp!

I installed the X11VNC Server and kept the Vinagre client (Desktop
Remote Viewer), everything works perfectly. Since I am new to remote
desktop protocols I will keep tweaking both and give a try to Remmina
client and rdp protocols on the days to come.

Thank you to both of you!
