Droplet NY2 1GB Ubuntu 14.04 VNC setup
Hello. I have a question. I followed a tutorial from digitalocean in order to start a VNC on linux (ubuntu). First 2 attempts was full of fails, but this attempt was a kind of succesfull. I installed vnc and after it, I could see the desktop, work with firefox from the console on digitalocean, but I can't connect to it with tightvnc. The cursor is not sync on site console and I have a bit of lag on it, so I wan't somehow to connect to it from a third-part application like tightvnc. When I try to connect to it with IP::5901 or IP:5901 I get: target machine actively refused connection.
I think that I need somehow to make permissions for accessing this droplet from outside the localhost.
Thanks.
Anymore information you could provide might help us answer your question. What is the specific tutorial you followed? Have you tried: How to Install and Configure VNC on Ubuntu 14.04? It includes instructions on how to setup an SSH tunnel to access the desktop locally.
