Hello, I am trying to set up a VNC server on my new Manjaro machine and am failing miserably. I was able to do this on a Ubuntu machine and so am not totally clueless (although close to it). Question 1 Is there a beginner-friendly tutorial for how to do this? Such a tutorial would skip no step a…

Yes I agree completely in principle. But the SSH element gives me another chance to get something wrong. (I can set up the tunnel wrong.) It’d be great if you or anyone could tell me what to put in ~/.vnc/config so the VNC server would accept a connection either way, over SSH or not. As is, I ha…

I can tell you I read the guide and did not deviate from it the least bit. You said e.g. :3, and so I used :1 but I also tried :3. Oh yes, I used 15901 instead of 9903 for the start of tunnel if that’s a deviation. In short, I am following you exactly and failing. It would be a huge help if you…
