To access a running TurboVNC Server session from the console, you can
simply run the TurboVNC Viewer on the console, as you suggested, and
enter "localhost:{n}" as the display (where {n} is the X display number
that the TurboVNC Server session is using.)To do the reverse (accessing the console remotely), you can still use the TurboVNC Viewer, but you'd need to use another type of server (a screen scraper.) This could be x0vncserver, TigerVNC's X.org module, or x11vnc. You can probably also run Remmina on the console and access it remotely via the TurboVNC Viewer, although I have no idea how well that performs. The TurboVNC Server itself doesn't provide screen scraping capabilities. On 4/15/18 2:54 PM, torsten wrote: > Hi, > > sometimes I sit at the console of my Ubuntu workstation.
