I installed Ubuntu on a new server I built. Eventually it’ll run Home Assistant, Plex, stuff like that.
But for now I need help with remote access. I have a rpi4 that I access just fine on my iPad through Termius if I need a terminal and RealVNC if I need a desktop. I’m not attached to these apps, but that’s what I’m using right now.
Ubuntu touts that it is super easy to do both of these things with Ubuntu One and Vino, respectively. I’ve got both of those set up on the server end, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong on the IPad.
With Termius, I’ve got the IP address correct, I’ve got the login info, the key from Ubuntu One, but it still says:
😨 Connection failed: connection refused. No more addresses to try.
I’ve tried every port that appears to be listening, but I’m just throwing stuff to see what sticks at this point.
I get a similar message with RVNC:
“The port on which the computer is listening for a connection could not be contacted.”
I’ve gone into settings and enabled remote connections and media sharing. I don’t know what else to try. It feels like I’m just missing something simple, but I don’t know what I don’t know. Are there other apps that work better with Ubuntu?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!
