CLOSED: TigerVNC

Hi Guys

Not been here for a while since all has been running good.

Finally got around to upgrading to Amahi 8 and have managed to get TigerVNC working with Cinnamon Desktop.

I'll be updating the WIKI page i did for TigerVNC shortly.

Good to hear.

Please ensure you identify in the instructions which Amahi 8 Install guidance you followed. Past experience has shown some install methods work with VNC and others do not.

I have finally gotten VNC to work with Amahi9/F23.

The thing I had to do different was with the desktop environment. Supposedly Cinnamon was already installed but I couldn't find where it was located. Instead of using Cinnamon I used LXDE which seems to be extremely lightweight for my older hardware.

To install LXDE:

Code: Select all

dnf group install lxde-desktop

To make LXDE work my xstartup looks like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh unset SESSION_MANAGER unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS #exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc lxterminal & /usr/bin/lxsession -s LXDE &lxterminal &

Hope this helps. The only reason I need it is for Crashplan. Still bashing my head against the wall to make the remote control work but this gets my off-site backup working in the meantime.

Can you please add this to the wiki?

We would greatly appreciate it.

[armorer1984]

Absolutely. As soon as my account for the Wiki gets approved I will get it added.

[bigfoot65]

Your account has been approved.

The TigerVNC page is probably the best place to document the steps for Amahi 9.

[armorer1984]

Wiki updated. Might need a bit of cleanup but I made it as easy to follow as I could.

Looks good and thanks!
