Since my personal use of remote desktop sessions is to manage servers, the lack of a full desktop experience is not a drawback for me. This has the advantage of using a lot less bandwidth and makes things more responsive over the network. For remote sessions using vnc I specify fvwm in my xstartup file (fvwm is slightly better than the even older twm). If you really want to use Gnome remotely, you should look for a different solution like the proprietary NoMachine or Gnome's built-in desktop sharing option. While I continue to use the default Gnome Shell desktop on 18.04 LTS locally, it no longer works in a remote desktop session.

Fortunately, this file is available from a fork of the official repo. NOTE: A key file is missing from the latest official binary release of TigerVNC for Linux, a perl script named vncserver. My workaround is to use the latest stable version from the TigerVNC project Github release page, where generic binaries for 32 and 64-bit Linux are distributed as tarballs (dmg and exe installers for Mac and Windows are also available).

There are packages for TigerVNC in the repositories of the major distributions, but the latest versions for Ubuntu are broken. While I recently tested under Ubuntu 19.10, I have no plans to test non-LTS versions in the future. TigerVNC is a remote desktop session server and viewer solution sponsored by Red Hat that is still in active development. I won't be updating this gist any more, but will leave it up as a reference for others. NOTE: Given its current state, I've given up on tigervnc and now rely on "ssh -X" to execute remote gui apps.
