Configuring TigerVNC User - Ubuntu #11

Closed ammazzetto2 closed 2 years ago

ammazzetto2 commented 2 years ago

I am having dome difficulties configuring the TigerVNC user.

After sudo vim /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users and adding the pi password I land on the same screen as in the video (Ubuntu Desktop on iPad) but in the TigerVNC User assignment, when I add

:2=pi

I get the following error:

E488: Trailing characters: i

Any suggestions?

Where is that error being reported? Is it in a specific log file or does it pop up on screen?

ammazzetto2 commented 2 years ago

It appears in the screen, as a red box at the bottom. When I type the :2=pi it doesn't go to the same spot as the video - the text appear at the bottom of the screen.

Should I do this part while connected to the iPad? I connected the pi to a external monitor/keyboard to install Ubuntu and configure TigerVNC.

If yes, how did you do it? I know you mentioned using BlinkShell to connect via SSH, but I couldn't figure it out how to - sorry, beginner here :)

Ok, I think I managed to do it and it is working fine on the iPad...it took some time googling and watching other videos from you, but it is working now.

Thanks!

Great! I realise from your description that I completely glossed over the fact that I was using the vim editor which has keybindings that are not intuitive!
