How can I access Ubuntu 14.04 VM GUI over SSH remotely? To be clearer, I don't want to run Ubuntu 14.04 on a headless VM and access over VRDP client, e.g. Remote Desktop. Rather, I'd like to log in to my specific account over SSH, but with GUI instead of being dropped into a console mode. I hope some X11 forwarding trick is there.

  • Regular X forwarding over SSH can't do that. You can just run applications on a remote host that display windows on and take input events from the local host with ssh -X. – David Foerster Oct 22 '14 at 01:01

ssh -X will do the trick. It will forward X so that you can launch graphical apps from the remote server.

  • shh - X won't do. I want full screen access. I tried Xming (Full Screen Mode) on Windows 8.1, but seems it does not work. – sherlock Oct 22 '14 at 05:32
