Remote desktop from Mac to Ubuntu

You need to install a VNC server on your ubuntu Desktop. This tutorial should explain how.

Once that part is set up, you can try typing ⌘K from the Finder, and in the "connect to server" box enter:

Code:

vnc://address.of.your.ubuntu.box

And try connecting that way.

If that doesn't work, you'll need to install Real VNC Viewer and use that to connect.

 

There is team viewer

 

I was going to suggest just that.

 

I'm pretty sure ubuntu has a built in VNC server, at least under XFCE. You can also try x2go, although it's harder to configure and run on a Mac IMO.
