You can check this with the one liner on the terminal after the boot-up sequence has completed:- ps aux | grep vnc | grep -v grep If you get a line of text it's running, if not, not. If not you can add the name of the VNC executable file to the file /etc/rc.local before, i.e. above, the line which is the one containing the command 'exit 0' That will start the VNC server during the boot up process. I am deliberately vague about the actual name of the executable file because there are several versions of VNC available for Ubuntu, and I do not know their precise names. Probably something like 'vnc-server'. However it will have the letters vnc in the name, and the command:- find /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin -iname '*vnc*' ( include the asterisks and single quotes on the command line ) will definitely find it for you.
