VNC app - runlevel

[nickpinn]

If I install server version of Ubuntu, and install VNC app it works great, so well done devlopers!

I just wanted to check, if i then set runlevel to 3, and the server boots to text based rather than gui, can i still VNC on to the app, or does that need x to start, so i would always have to run a desktop?

Thanks

Glad it worked for you. We worked hard on this one to get it working.

Not 100% sure, but it may not work if you change it. Only way to tell is try it and see what happens.

I found this snippet on the web:

Even if your Linux vnc-server is running on level 3 , a remote client can connect to it and perform tasks . Of course vnc-server must be enabled to work on runlevel 3 : chkconfig – -level 3 vncserver on

So tonight im going to set it to run level 3 and then try this.

Will report back if it works.

Great news. If it works, we can add guidance to the wiki and/or the app for others.
