The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
tigervnc-xorg-extension : Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.7.7)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
The version of xserver-xorg-core which is available in the repos would remove the Mate desktop if I tried to install it :mad: If I install tigervnc-standalone-server without the extension package the server will run but I am unable to start a desktop to which I can connect.
I have installed and run x11vnc. However, the numeric keyboard does not work/
I have installed and run vnc4server. It works reasonably well except that I cannot connect over vnc if I have the console on the machine logged in or I connect via vnc I cannot logon to the console. I have read that this is a known limitation.
Tigervnc is my preferred option. Does anyone have any ideas how to work around the issues I described above?
TIA,
Ken
