Hi,

This error usually occur when vncserver does not installed successfully.

Please run the command in Desktop Environment feature and post the screenshots if any error occur.

Still getting E: Unable to locate package tigervnc-standalone-server…

Solved on kali by first running the suggested code an then on termux pkg install x11-repo then pkg install tigervnc Then starting kali again and running dpkg --configure -a apt-get install tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-viewer And to fix the black screen I followed this video https://youtu.be/_8YZst2x9GE

I have to manually install mate de in script de-apt-mate.sh is core i want full version of mate apt install mate-desktop-environment

Is there any fix? I’m getting the exact same bug, but with Kali Linux.

Hello! I successfuly executed the vncserver-start by downloading manually the files that were missing:

mkdir /root/.vnc
cd /root/.vnc/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EXALAB/AnLinux-Resources/master/Scripts/DesktopEnvironment/Apt/Xfce4/xstartup

cd /usr/local/bin/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EXALAB/AnLinux-Resources/master/Scripts/DesktopEnvironment/Apt/Xfce4/vncserver-start

cd /usr/local/bin/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EXALAB/AnLinux-Resources/master/Scripts/DesktopEnvironment/Apt/Xfce4/vncserver-stop

Then I tried to run the .sh file and it worked ./de-apt-xfce4.sh

I think that if you now run vncserver-start it could work too.

I hope it helps! 😄

PS: when I try to connect to the given ip:port I get the following error: the port on which the computer is listening for a connection could not be contacted Does anyone know how to continue? 😞

Yahhh… Ananyapam7 i have just found the solution…

The tigervnc-server-module is a module for Xorg.

To install the vncserver, you need to install tigervnc-standalone-server

Is there a fix yet. I can use

vncserver 

and a vncserver starts whichh can be accessed with vnc viewer.

$ vncserver

New 'localhost:1 ()' desktop is localhost:1

Starting applications specified in /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.vnc/localhost:1.log

But the installer tries to run

vncserver-start

which results in command not found.

de-apt-xfce4.sh: line 42: vncserver-start: command not found

root@localhost:~# vncserver-start

New Xtigervnc server ‘remote-desktop’ on port 5901 for display :1. Use xtigervncviewer -SecurityTypes VncAuth -passwd /root/.vnc/passwd :1 to connect to the VNC server.

                                                            =================== tail /root/.vnc/localhost:5901.log ===================

xrdb: No such file or directory xrdb: can’t open file ‘/root/.Xresources’

Session startup via ‘/root/.vnc/xstartup’ cleanly exited too early (< 3 seconds)!

Maybe try something simple first, e.g., tigervncserver -xstartup /usr/bin/xterm The X session cleanly exited! Killing Xtigervnc process ID 10811… success! root@localhost:~#

I am getting this problem someone help me please

Same problem here, is there any fix yet?

THIS IS NOT A BUG!

This issue have been leaved for a long time for user to discuss, recently there are some funny review on Play Store, so I guess I would write the solution here.

If you are getting vncserver-start command not found error:

1. Check if you run this command inside distro, you should run this command in distro after start it with ./start-*.sh , DO NOT run this command without starting distro first. Most error fall into this category 😕
2. Network Issue, please check if the package has successfully downloaded and no network connection error in the proccess, for China users, please use a VPN.
3. Certificate issue, running apt-get purge ca-certificates and then run apt install ca-certificates might fix the issue, the reason this occur is currently unknown as I do not encounter this issue after testing on all device I had, however next update(In this month) will fixed this by giving all wget command inside the distro --no-check-certificate flag, the reason this isn’t fixed until now is that this issue is very rarely occur and didn’t verify certificate lower the security.
4. Termux issue, use termux from f-droid and not Google Play Store, Termux of Play Store is Not maintained. If you use Termux from Play Store, please don’t report about bug or issue.

vncserver-start related message will be shown to people who reporting bugs for the first time in the app at next update. This issue will stay open for discussion.
