Installing GUI on Ubuntu + VNC

Choose a GUI you want:

• Gnome/Unity
• XFCE/Xubuntu

 Gnome will probably be to heavy for our little BBB, so we'll try the other option. Xubuntu takes quite a long time to install, so maybe it's best to try XFCE alone.

(run as superuser)

apt-get update
apt-get install xfce4

This will install XFCE, now start it using:

startxfce4

Install tightvncserver:

apt-get install tightvncserver


Run it:

tightvncserver
