sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk3.0 python-pyside

Download and install latest version from http://lordamit.github.io/Brightness. Do not use Ubuntu's deb because it contain old version.

apt-get install libappindicator1 libdbusmenu-gtk4 libindicator7 python-appindicator python-gobject apt-get install notify-osd

Force system to ask how to open file:

mimeopen -d file.pdf

or

xdg-mime query filetype document.pdf
xdg-mime query default application/pdf
xdg-mime default okularApplication_pdf.desktop application/pdf 
# or kde4-okularApplication_pdf.desktop

see

cat /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and defaults.list 
cat  ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list 

sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

use xrandr to list available outputs. Example output:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 410mm x 230mm
   1366x768      59.79*+
...
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm
   1920x1080     60.00*+
...
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

To set layout of monitor:

xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of HDMI2

You need to create startup script with above command, and configure XFCE to run it at start (read more below).

There is also graphical UI available:

apt-get install arandr

To make settings permanent, use Layout –> Save as This will create executable script in ~/.screenlayout/your_name.sh

Then add above executable script to autostart of XFCE: Application Menu –> Settings –> Session and Startup

Start VNC after first user login (from autostart):

$ sudo apt-get install x11vnc
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
$ cd ~/.config/autostart
$ cat > X11VNC.desktop

And paste following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=X11VNC
Comment=
Exec=x11vnc -forever -usepw -httpport 5900
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false

Finish pasting with CTRL+D

Password file (~/.vnc/passwd) you can create using vncpasswd command.

in file ~/.vnc/xstartup

add before executing x-session:

~/.vnc/xstartup

if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
	eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax –exit-with-session`
	echo "D-BUS per-session daemon address is: \
	$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
fi
