Managing a server exclusively via SSH is a daunting task. Some administrators end up installing VNC for the purpose of having a GUI environment to work with.<\/p>\n

Luckily for us,\u00a0AKLWEB HOST<\/strong>\u00a0has a\u00a0View Console<\/strong>\u00a0option!<\/p>\n

AKLWEB HOST’s\u00a0noVNC<\/em>\u00a0is a secure alternative to VNC, without the resource overhead, and with many more functions.<\/p>\n

Installing GUI on Ubuntu<\/h3>\n

Follow these steps:<\/p>\n

\n
1. Login to your VPS instance via the Linux terminal by executing\u00a0ssh@serverip<\/code>. Alternatively, use the\u00a0View Console<\/em>\u00a0on your manage area.<\/li>\n
2. Make sure that all of your packages and dependencies are up-to-date.\n

   apt-get update\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
   Install the LXDE Minimalist package.\n
   apt-get install -y lubuntu-core\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
   Alternatively, if you have a more powerful VPS, and want a full-fledged desktop, then install the desktop package:<\/p>\n
      apt-get install -y lubuntu-desktop\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n
   (Optional) You can install Firefox for browsing:\n
   apt-get install -y firefox\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
   Reboot the machine by executing\u00a0reboot<\/code>.<\/li>\n
   Click\u00a0View Console<\/em>\u00a0again, you’ll see a desktop-like GUI environment.<\/li>\n
   Login using\u00a0root<\/code>\u00a0and your default provided password.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
   And that’s it! Now you can use your VPS to perform tasks with the help of a GUI. In addition to that, you can also use Firefox to browse the web using your VPS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[242,247],"manual_kb_tag":[433],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2854"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2854"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2862,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2854\/revisions\/2862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=2854"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/support.aklwebhost.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=2854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
