Hi all,
I'm trying to get VNC running on the above and I'll try and quickly run down how I managed to get to the position where it's almost working.
So I installed the arm64 image from RealVNC download and then obviously got this error as I'm running the arm64 Ubuntu Mate and RealVNC only offer an armhf one:
"error wrong architecture - run dpkg --add-architechture to add it and update afterwards".
So I forced the architecture by running:
sudo dpkg --add-architechture armhf
When I ran vncserver it kept complaining that some files of /usr/lib were missing, so I copied a load of them from this Github backup here to usr/lib and that seemed to allow vncserver to run.
Yes I know this is not the best method, but it seems Ubuntu Mate is still in beta. Anyway, vnc setup a password, key, etc. and gave me my local IP and a session number/port. When logging into it it asks for the username/password, waits a few seconds and then returns 'access is denied'.
I should note that when running the [xstartup.sh] script in /home/user/.vnc it used to say 'cannot find /home/user/.Xresources' file, but then again the same error appears in a Digital Ocean guide but isn't mentinoed as an issue? (link below)
I think I ran touch ~/.Xresources which made that error go away, but when I run the [xstartup.sh] it just leads to a blank terminal window.
The last two log files are here: [Pastebin1] and [Pastebin2] (see below). The second is the only one that shows the client being rejected. So, in short I think the VNC login errors are something to do with the frontend desktop environment.
Any ideas at all please?
