VNC¶

Arch [1][2][3]

sudo pacman -S tigervnc
vncpasswd
sudo useradd -m vncuser
sudo passwd vncuser
sudo groupadd -r vncusers
sudo usermod -aG vncusers vncuser
sudo vim /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users

:1=vncuser

For example, used Xfce as desktop:

sudo pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies
# rm -rf ~/.vnc
# mkdir ~/.vnc
vim ~/.vnc/config

session=xfce
geometry=1280x720
# localhost
alwaysshared

vncserver :1
# sudo systemctl enable --now vncserver@:1

ArchWSL [4]

vim ~/vncstart.sh

#!/bin/bash
vncserver -kill :1 > /dev/null 2>&1
rm -f /tmp/.X1-lock
rm -f /tmp/.X11-unix/X1
vncserver :1

chmod u+x ~/vncstart.sh

vncstart

Ubuntu 22 ARM [5] (Cache)

sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
sudo apt install tightvncserver
vncserver
vncserver -kill :1
mv ~/.vnc/xstartup ~/.vnc/xstartup.bak
chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup
vim ~/.vnc/xstartup

#!/bin/bash
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
startxfce4 &

vncserver
