Tightvnc: how to connect to a user session in Linux Mint Cinnamon?

Question

linux

Actually, subject. On my computer I am logging in as user user. How to connect from a remote machine via a VNC client to an existing session of the user user, and not create a new one when connecting? When I connect after entering the password, for some reason a new session is created on behalf of the root user.

Answer 1

Because the VNC server must be started after the user login in his session (in autorun).

Answer 2

Something like this?
