Accessing a Remote Ubuntu Linux Desktop
<pre>
vncviewer vinagre hostname:0
</pre>
where ''hostname'' is either the hostname or IP address of the remote system.
If you configured the remote system to prompt to approve a connection a dialog will appear on the remote system. Until the connection is approved the vncviewer vinagre session will wait. Once approved, or if no approval is required, VNC vinagre will prompt for the password (assuming one was defined):  [[Image:vinagre_auth.jpg|Vinagre requesting a password to access a remote desktop]]

Enter the password and a new screen will appear containing the desktop from the remote system. If remote desktop control was enabled you can interact with the desktop as if you were sitting at the remote screen.
