TigerVNC: vncserver is not usable
The TigerVNC package in Alpine Linux repo has many issues in the vncserver part.
I have already discussed with member of TigerVNC. See here.
I listed below some of the key points:
- The original TigerVNC
vncserver@.service
only supportssystemd
. And the package included in the Alpine repo also hassystemd
service instead of OpenRC service. There is a simple converter can do the trick, although maybe not fully functional but is usable. - There is a file (
/etc/pam.d/tigervnc
) out of date (?) or not compatible. - There is dependency missing,
perl
is one example I believe. -
Xvnc
(Xtigervnc
) is not included in the Alpine version. It makesvncserver
unusable right now.
Detailed information can be found on the TigerVNC issue link. Hope all those info can provide some direction for this package.
Thanks!
