alqqu Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Hey so i just bought this VPS from contabo ---> https://contabo.com/?show=configurator&vserver_id=261 (with the Ubuntu 18.04 version) When i try to open the desktop thru remote desktop program (RDP), it gives me an error. I went to the page and then they recommended me to launch the VPS with a program called "UltraVNCViewer", so i downloaded it & connected to my VNC VPS address and it worked! but i cant see the Ubuntu desktop, all i can see is a console with some text on it did i buy a wrong VPS which cannot be used with the Windows Remote Desktop Program???

Expand You should ask your provider about it as one timeone provider stated to me that their VPS can only be controlled through cmd, they dont give normal desktop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Windows servers have RDP, and you chose Ubuntu 18.04. Use this to get botting setup on your VPS https://osbot.org/forum/topic/69569-using-digital-ocean-to-run-osbot-start-to-finish/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 You've got a "core install". I think Contabo offers VNC out of the box but tbh best to set it up yourself. Apart from VNC, I think Ubuntu now supports RDP, but dunno I still prefer VNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If you've followed his steps, you should be able to connect to the desktop environment using VNC viewer (Chrome extension) like this Then just use the username and password you set during the installation process.
