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:
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.

Your account has been approved.
The
TigerVNC page is probably the best place to document the steps for Amahi 9.

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