Install xfce + vncserver rather than the VNC screen share?

Use that method every day of the week for 18.04 and 16.04 stuff and AWS and Linode...

Gnome over vncviewer is a bit sucky performance wise, hence xfce, but probably fine if you're doing this on a LAN not over the interwebs.

Hi,

I've got a new Ubuntu machine that will be run without an attached monitor or 
keyboard/mouse in our comms cupboard for call logging from the PABX system.

I'm trying to set up a method that will allow a remote desktop connection, but 
finding many conflicting ideas abound.

So far, I can setup 'screen sharing' from the settings and connect to the 
desktop remotely using VNC on windows.
However, if the machine is rebooted without a monitor attached then VNC can't 
connect, It needs there to be a monitor present.
If a monitor is present it still needs the user to have logged on first before 
it works.  So I need some way to start it in this situation or something 
different.

I know I could use SSH and use command line to do everything, but other 
non-linux users need to be able to connect and look at stuff from time to time, 
a gui would help them a lot.

So, I was hoping someone on this list may have done this already and be able to 
give me a good pointer?

Regards,
   Bryce Stenberg.
