I have a local computer at home and a remote computer at work, both running Ubuntu Budgie 24.04. I want to connect form my local computer to the remote computer, and have access to the desktop. Both computers are in the same network.
I see in the internet that a possible way to do this is through VNC. This requires to instal a VNC server in the remote computer and a VNC client in the local computer.
So, I installed Tigervnc in the remote computer and Remmina in the local computer. Specifically:
At remote: sudo apt install tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-xorg-extension tigervnc-viewer
At local: sudo apt install remmina remmina-plugin-vnc
Then, I followed a tutorial to configure and start the VNC server in the remote computer.
First: vncpasswd
Second: tigervncserver -xstartup /usr/bin/budgie-session -SecurityTypes VncAuth,TLSVnc -passwd ~/.vnc/passwd -geometry 800x600 -localhost no :1
And this later command results in the following error:
New Xtigervnc server 'poincare:1 (froig)' on port 5901 for display :1.
Use xtigervncviewer -SecurityTypes VncAuth,TLSVnc -passwd /tmp/tigervnc.yg9wqv/passwd poincare:1 to connect to the VNC server.
=================== tail /home/froig/.vnc/poincare:1.log ===================
============================================================================
Session startup via '/usr/bin/budgie-session' cleanly exited too early (< 3 seconds)!
Maybe try something simple first, e.g.,
tigervncserver -xstartup /usr/bin/xterm
The X session cleanly exited!
Killing Xtigervnc process ID 194928... success!
Thus, the VNC server is not starting for some reason. And this is the contents of the log file:

Does anybody know what is going on?
Also, if there is an alternative way to connect to the remote desktop, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
