TurboVNC Reviews and details

• VNC server rant

  TurboVNC with VirtualGL, the performance-premier implementation today. TVNC and VGL are developed together by the same person and are tuned for max performance. Source: about 1 year ago

• Nvidia drivers cause instabilities on laptops

  Install VirtualGL and TurboVNC. (They are developed together by the same person; TVNC is the performance-premier VNC implementation now.) Run vglserver_config with no disablements or restrictions. Thereafter, put export VGL_DEVICE=egl in your .bash_login (or similar), and run graphics apps by prefixing with vglrun. Under VGL, all OpenGL, most XCB, and a few X primitive calls will be carried out in the dGPU. Source: over 1 year ago

• x11vnc setup

  I suggest dropping TigerVNC in favor of TurboVNC. It's a performance-oriented fork from Tiger developed by someone who cares, who is also the person producing VirtualGL, the premier tool for engaging GPU support in apps not running on a console session (vnc, xpra, ssh). Source: over 1 year ago

• Why are there no good remote desktops?

  In part it may depend on which VNC you're using. Do away with Tight and Tiger, get TurboVNC + VirtualGL. Both are produced by a guy who's very dedicated. TurboVNC is a performance-oriented fork of Tiger. TVNC and VGL are tuned to optimize with each other. Source: over 1 year ago

• Rent machines per hour?

  So run a VNC session*, with a viewer running on your local machine, and your choice of desktop in that. Or (better, in my opinion) use XPRA to run your remote tools as native-ish apps & windows within your local desktop. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do I get TigerVNC server to work with Ubuntu 22.04.1?

  Get TurboVNC which is a superior implementation maintained by somebody (dcommander) who really cares. In conjunction, get VirtualGL as the best means of getting GPU support in VNC sessions. Source: over 1 year ago
