Extracted from @manics in https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyter-remote-desktop-proxy/pull/84#discussion_r1482654227:

Just a thought, is tigervnc-xorg-extension actually needed?

https://packages.debian.org/sid/tigervnc-xorg-extension

This package contains an X server connector so VNC clients can connect to your local X desktop directly.

I don't know the implications of this, @yuvipanda do you know?

Note that it sais Provides: vnc-server, xserver below, so the actual "x server" seems to be bundled with the standalone-server apt package.

sudo apt show tigervnc-standalone-server
