vnc

For a stand alone Lubuntu 19.04 that was created on VMWare vSphere I was going to follow the instructions on https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-18-04 to install a VNC Server.

However since I am using vSphere a much more convenient option is to simply use VMware Remote Console 10.0.6.

To get the vmrc:// link than can be saved open the Google Chrome developer tools when selecting to open the console from the Actions menu, the URL should look something like this: vmrc://clone:cst-52face01-97f1-8d12-a00d-49df6ebc9e0e--tp-47-82-97-CE-C5-F1-3C-20-15-CC-33-3C-38-95-34-1A-50-CF-78-54@server-pc/?moid=1

VMWare tools are installed as normal:

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools
sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools-desktop
