This is a fresh install. Already ran and applied updates.
I already installed and started the service for SSH. SSH works fine. Everything else was done via SSH.
sudo pacman -S openssh
sudo systemctl enable --now sshd
Tried following these:
Installed tigervnc
Ran vncpasswd
ls /usr/share/xsessions gives me:
gnome-classic.desktop gnome.desktop
gnome-classic-xorg.desktop gnome-xorg.desktop
I used gnome.desktop
My /home/pasquale/.vnc/config:
session=gnome.desktop
geometry=1280x720
localhost
dpi=96
My /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users:
# TigerVNC user assignment
#
# This file assigns users to specific VNC display numbers.
# The syntax is <display>=<username>. E.g.:
#
# :2=andrew
# :3=lisa
:4=pasquale
Then I ran systemctl enable vncserver@:4 and sudo reboot
Followed the docs to a tee. Refuses to connect. Exact tigervnc error:
Failed to connect to "localhost::45125":
Unable to connect to the socket: Connection refused (111)
Attempt to reconnect?
also tried connecting via terminal vncviewer -via pasquale@192.1681.1.68 localhost::5904, same error, the port in the error message changes every time.
I tried searching for forum posts through google, but most of the replies just link to the documents above, and the other threads don’t really go anywhere. One person was just scolded for insisting on uploading images to the forum.
Anyways, any ideas here? Did I miss something?
