Problem Making VNCSERVER Connection From Windows 10
by swamprat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BDHJ)
Greetings all, I can use some help getting my Windows 10 system to get a connection to my Debian 10 Linux system (Parrot Linux 4.9 with all updates applied).
I get a connection from WIN10 to the VNCserver but I want to use KDE and after (WIN10 TightVnc viewer) makes the connection all I have is a screen filled with tiny dots so I know from the logs that a connection is being made.
Below are the commands I used to install the VNCserver and the listing of the VNC logs.
I don't understand how the (~) character is effecting the search structure and what the character is doing, if anything. Also I don't think the STARTXKDE command is correct nor the system, VNCserver is the control files.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
