now it returns a "no screens found" error Screenshot_20220420_191324_com termux

Try these commands

export DISPLAY=:1
vncserver
startxfce4

All these commands already exists when installation complete. How have you installed the distro?

BobbedBob commented 2 years ago

nope. still doesn't work. or does it? Screenshot_20220420_194333_com termux

I installed it according to the readme. don't think I did anything wrong. should I run sudo pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies Is it because I did not install Anki? When I tried to do so, it returns a "target not found error.

BobbedBob commented 2 years ago

ran sudo pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies but it still did not work. nothing changed.

Also export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:1 can be used. But first I have retest the script. (To be updated) In meantime try again, remove these installation and try again with latest termux from f-droid. And follow the instruction in menu. Select xfce from the menu.

do i need to reinstall the entire thing? the code you asked me to run in the previous reply did not work either.

Enter the commands, do not add sudo. Do this in following manner. Also DISPLAY in all capital letters. You may have to clear tmp folder and stop and remove unused vncserver using vncserver -kill :1. Replace :1 with :2 or other numbers that previously vnc server started with.

Do exactly this. Do not add sudo

export DISPLAY=:1
vncserver
startxfce4
