#64 – How to install x11vnc vnc server on Ubuntu 21.04 remote access, screen sharing(remove Wayland)

Here I show how to install x11vnc on Ubuntu 21.04 as a VNC server for remote access or screen sharing. It’s not as simple as just installing due to Wayland being the default windowing system.

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE to see which display manager you are running,
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and change the line WaylandEnable=false
sudo reboot

Then this older set of instructions can be followed; https://www.crazy-logic.co.uk/projects/computing/how-to-install-x11vnc-vnc-server-as-a-service-on-ubuntu-20-04-for-remote-access-or-screen-sharing
