However, Vino is also useful in some other Linux distributions, which may not use GNOME desktop; and where ''gnome-control-center'' is not present: this leaves those distributions with no preference editor. For these distributions, (Lubuntu is one example, being based on LXDE, not GNOME), the alternative configuration manager tool ''dconf-editor'' is recommended (''sudo apt install dconf-editor'' to install). The VNC settings can then be accessed under ''org'' -> ''gnome'' -> ''desktop'' -> ''remote-access'' using that tool.
