Hi, Dan, Thanks for your response. I am in the process to setup a VNC server by following this instruction: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-16-04
It almost works until I run into this problem when I try to connect to the VNC server: So as soon as i remote is with the VNC session (the xfce4 desktop is displayed) but with errors. xfce unable to determine failsafe session name. possible causes: xfconfd isn’t running (D-Bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG*CONFIG*DIRS is set incorrectly (must include… and so on. I saw someone suggests this solution in the comments section in the original post: apt-get install gnome-panel gnome-settings-daemon metacity nautilus gnome-terminal I tried this command and then I run into the memory issue. Even after I reboot this machine, the memory usage is still 98%. I know 2GB memory is not great, but I just hope it can run a VNC server. Right now, there is nothing I can do before I solve the memory issue. Thanks a lot!
