You might need to open up the firewall once you get it running

Good evening,

Just home from work, still googling to find an answer.

I have just taken a look and it's installed.

But it's not set-up

unit novnc.service could not be found

Wish I understood Linux more.

Good Morning,

I have a clean install of PepperMint Linux (Debian Base(bookworm)).

I have been following: https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Debian_12&p=desktop&f=8

It fails at the set password
$ vncpasswd
bash: vncpasswd command not found

Any tips or ideas to get Novnc working.

Chris

I think you're issue is that you only installed noVNC ,which is the
web socket proxy. You need to make sure that you have a vnc server
running. If it's part of the OS, you might not have vncpasswd - you
might just use the linux username / password.

Maybe sure linux has remote desktop sharing turned on.

You can check by running:

curl -v http://localhost:5900
* Trying 127.0.0.1:5900...
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 5900 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:5900
> User-Agent: curl/7.88.1
> Accept: */*
>
* Received HTTP/0.9 when not allowed
* Closing connection 0
curl: (1) Received HTTP/0.9 when not allowed

if it doesn't connect, there is no vnc server. You can try port 5901 as well.
