[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && 
   xrdb $HOME/.Xresources vncconfig -iconic & 
   dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session &

Answer 2

Remmina is a simple and lightweight remote desktop client for various protocols like RDP, VNC, and SSH. Remmina is easy to use and suitable for basic remote access.

To install Remmina in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type either sudo apt install remmina or sudo snap install remmina The remmina apt package is installed by default in Ubuntu.

Remmina doesn't have a built-in method to directly handle router traversal. It relies on external mechanisms like port forwarding or VPNs to establish connections through a home router.
