I've had a few issues with various machines over the years, where TigerVNC-Scrapper was "unable to fully resolve hostname", when running on a Debian Linux machine (in my case, an ODroid C4)

This weekend I discovered it was the simplest fix and caused by a stupid oversight.


What it means is

The hostname as defined in

`/etc/hostname`
Was not mentioned in
`/etc/hosts`


By simply ensuring that (for example)

`/etc/hostname` only had "QLCplus"

And there was at least a line in `/etc/hosts` that reads "127.0.0.1 QLCplus"

After a restart, Everything works perfectly.

I hope this helps someone else.
