Ubuntu Mate Desktop On Android | No Root

hello guys welcome to today's article, in this tutorial I'm gonna show you how to install ubuntu mate desktop on Android, in our previous articles we've talked about how to install different versions of Ubuntu, but in this particular one I'm gonna show you how to install the mate desktop on ubuntu.

Prerequisites:

Termux:

Vnc viewer:

Procedures:

Login to your Ubuntu terminal and first you update it, to do that you can use the command:

• apt update && apt upgrade

You want to make sure you have sudo nano Installed on your terminal to do that you can use the command

• apt install sudo nano 

Now we proceed with the desktop installation, you can install mate on ubuntu with the command:

• sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-desktop

 It's gonna take a while for the installation to be completed, After the Ubuntu Desktop has been completely installed the next thing you're going to do is open a new terminal session and in the new "terminal 2" we're going to install vncserver and some other packages on Termux itself, the reason for doing this is because we want to connect to ubuntu Using a TCP protocol to avoid unnecessary disconnection while using Ubuntu, so on your termux terminal 2, type the command :

• pkg update

then we install the x11-repo using the command:

• pkg install x11-repo

the next thing you're going to do is install vncserver using the command

• pkg install tigervnc xorg-xhost

you're going to be required to create a new password, create any 6ix digits password of your choice. After that we're going to launch vncserver using the command:

• vncserver -geometry 1600x720 -listen tcp :1

then we disable access control using the command:

• DISPLAY=:1 xhost +

After that switch back to your Ubuntu session "session 1" and connect ubuntu to the TCP server using the command:

• DISPLAY=:1 dbus-launch mate-session

now you can launch your vnc viewer application and connect using the localhost :1 

And that is pretty much it, you will be logged in to your mate desktop and you can now setup your desktop as you prefer.
