[SOLVED] VNC server will not start

I installed VNC remotely through the VPN (I'm at work), but under Servers, it's always showing as "Stopped." I've tried to start it, to no avail. Same after a reboot.
Complete newbie here so any help would be extremely appreciated!

Did you install Amahi VNC? Check the Amahi app install log located in /var/log for errors. Something might not of installed correctly.

Here's what I got from the app installer log... I can't tell what if anything went wrong...
Code: Select all

Yes, there is something wrong. You might consider uninstall/reinstall. I would also recommend you do this on the HDA and not remote using VPN.
