Incorrect instructions for Manually Closing VNC server #73

Closed Mikowmer closed 2 years ago

Mikowmer commented 3 years ago

When stopping the rmview service when the reMarkable device is sleeping, rmview can't stop the VNC service on the device. Good news: It tells you this, and gives you instructions on how to stop the service manually. Bad news: It gives you incorrect instructions on how to stop the service manually.

What it says: You can manually terminate it by running ssh {IP address of device} killall rM-vnc-server-standalone.

Why this is a problem: Unless your username is root, this will not work, as the default username for ssh is your username.

What it should say: You can manually terminate it by running ssh root@{IP address of device} killall rM-vnc-server-standalone.

Branch used is version2.6

Ah thanks for the feedback! I keep forgetting this issue because I configured the user in the ssh config 🤦🏻 I'll fix it
