How do I get a GUI from a computer in other computer?

I have an ubuntu with a lubuntu GUI installed in a computer (PC 1).



Now, I've been able to access the PC 1 through another computer by SSH (just the terminal, no graphical interface), but I want to see the whole GUI and interact with the OS normally (not just a window with $ssh -X).



In other words, the idea is: I have installed in other computer (PC 2) an ubuntu minimal (no graphical interface), and I want to pull the lubuntu GUI from the PC 1 to see in the PC 2 and be able to control with my mouse like when we use TeamViewer.



Is it possible? If not, if I install a GUI on PC 2 can solve or help to solve the problem?

  • I haven't done this before, but if I had to... I'd probably consider exploring some solution like teamviewer. Though I doubt it works on a non GUI OS. So, install the GUI first then some remote control program. Edit3: I mean, if you installed the OS without a GUI, you shouldn't have the tools to run a GUI.

  • As a minimum you need graphics support on PC2 (in XWindows parlance, your PC2 must be an XWindows server).

  • You need a GUI to view a GUI. The second PC will need X windows running in order to open a tool to view the graphical desktop of the first.
