VNC Server wont work on a new Ubuntu Desktop Install
Hello.
We have Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (GUI) and have just tried to install VNC Server 6.9.1 Deb
On starting the program we get 'Authentication needed to run '/etc/vnc/vncservice' as a super user' but on Authenticating nothing happens. I cant see a service running either.
Ive tried disabling Wayland to no avail.
Can anyone help?

Same problem. Haven't tried disabling Wayland though.
This is a from-scratch (empty disk) install of Ubuntu 22.04.
On another forum post , "How do I get started with VNC Connect on Linux?", there is the folowing
posting. I'll try this later today.
Using the Setup Helper Script
For the best experience, we recommend that you download and run the vncsetup-helper script:
cd ~/Downloadstar -xzf vncsetup-helper.tar.gzsudo ./vncsetup.shThat worked. Ive not checked it restarts on a reboot, but it works now. Thankyou.
Thanks for the info about the script. Saved me from a ton of frustration and headache.
I tried this method but did not work for me. I found this did work:

I got vnc server to work in ubuntu this link
https://techviewleo.com/install-realvnc-server-and-client-on-ubuntu/
now just download the vnc viewer in pc and remember to install the gnome desktop for viewing a desktop. I thought that it what I purchased realvnc for, it does not have its own desktop environment?
