VNC Server
Setting up a VNC Server inside your crouton works fine, however Chrome OS seems to block port 5900.
You can try crouton-vnc but if you want just a quick way to connect into your crouton (you need to install (or have already) an ssh-server on the client machine) then you can use the -R command of ssh to make a reverse connection: (this is for Ubuntu but the general idea of using ssh should work on other distros/croutons as well)
-
Install and run
vino-preferences
to start a VNC server listening on port 5900. -
If you're using Ubuntu 14.04 don't forget the Vino encryption bug workaround:
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/remote-access/require-encryption false
-
On your client PC make sure you have an ssh server running.
-
Inside your crouton use ssh to connect to the client machine, i.e. ssh from the host to the client, and use -R to forward port 5900:
ssh -R 5900:localhost:5900 clientip
-
On your client PC, in vncviewer specify 127.0.0.1 as the VNC Server address. Voila.
