How to setup VNC server on Debian 10?
by Red Squirrel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CC7A)
I want to be able to VNC via ssh tunnel to a normal Linux desktop. I've done this before but can't seem to get it working in Debian. I installed tightvnc server and ran "vncserver" as a regular user and it runs, but when I try to VNC to it I just get a message that Cinnamon has crashed and there's nothing I can do to get past it.
I installed gnome desktop and I tried a bunch of xstartup file examples I found online so I can try to use Gnome desktop install but I just get a gray screen.
Is there a way to get this to work? I don't really care what desktop it runs I just want a usable desktop so I can use a normal desktop environment on the server.
Basically I'm writing some selenium scripts and I just want a GUI environment for testing them in non headless mode on the server side. I was trying X11 but it's just too slow. I've had good luck with VNC before but for some reason now it's not working.
