      I have configured the VNC server by using the command from the internet as

      apt-get install vnc4server

      When I tried to search vnc in my ubuntu 14.04.It does not shows the vnc server.In order to check the system with vnc server,I used the following command

      dpkg -l | grep vnc

      It showed the result in the image.Whether I have to configure VNC server and client for the purpose of taking the system in remote Screenshot - Monday 13 April 2015 - 05:41:53  IST.png .How to configure VNC in ubuntu 14.04.In order to configure I followed the below link but when I have issues starting from the step 2 of the following link

        I don't understand. In your screenshots you clearly search for, and found, the VNC server. What's the issue?

          The issue I faced was that VNC server is not shown and when I searched for vnc there is nothing shown related vnc,so i configured as such the link I have provided but there is a second screenshot which has issue in the vnc server where no such file option is shown.Why?

            I would assume because you did not create that directory. What made you choose a nonexisting directory?

                You have to ask the package where it is installed:

                rpm -ql packagename

                      You can but, it's long and annoying to convert. VNC servers should be available in the repository.

                            I don't understand this question.

                            What does "VNC is not able take remote in XP machine.Why?" mean?

                              "I have installed VNC in XP machine and the configuration is somewhat not easy for me.How to do ?" - I'm not aware of any configuration for t. In what way is not easy? Just install, open the firewall and use.

                                  I still don't understand. You have installed VNC server or client in which locations? You are trying to connect from where to where? You are leaving out very major details.

                                      So why are you trying to do anything with XP yet or configure something if it is not installed yet? Something does not make sense here.

                                          This is very confusing. Let's work on the terms before going any further. It is common now to use "remote" as a verb (this actually comes from India, I think, India tends to promote noun to verb movements in English ahead of the native English speaking countries). So let's do that. "Take" doesn't mean anything in this context and is leaving us without knowing what you mean.

                                          Do you want to remote from Windows XP (the client) to Ubuntu (the server?)

                                          Do you want to remote from Ubuntu (client) to Windows XP (server?)

                                          Do you want to do something else?
