Hi Jacques, Sorry I haven't responded to Comment #17 yet. Today, I had time to test it in Karmic, and it works for me.
Here is what I had to do: On the server: 1) $ sudo apt-get install openssh-server 2) Go to System > Preferences > Remote Desktop and enable the service 3) Open gconf-editor and change the value of /desktop/gnome/remote_access/network_interface = lo On the client (Option 1): 1) $ ssh -N -L 5900:localhost:5900 ubu...@10.10.10.69 2) Open Applications > Internet > Remote Desktop viewer and connect to "localhost" On the client (Option 2): 1) $ sudo apt-get install vncviewer 2) vncviewer -via ubu...@10.10.10.69 localhost:0 3) Password will be requested in the terminal and a vncviewer window will launch afterwards Both of these seemed to work for me. Can anyone report having issue using these instructions? -- Remote Desktop - "only accept from localhost" option does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
