Nice to see someone presenting information the way it needs to be. Many people in the linux community seem to be able to tell you everything except what you need to do to resolve your conundrum.

It would be nice if they followed suit and presented information in simple, progressive steps, or as a simple lead such as this.

Thankyou – it is not often I am driven to leave a comment in places like this.

Hi,
The result on either “sudo apt-get install tightvncserver” or “sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer” is: “E: Unable to fetch some archives, may be run apt-get update or try with – -fix-missing”.

Any idea what’s going on? Why is this reply? And mostly what can I do?

Gotta say, this is *such* an unintuitive set of package names. Someone should file a bug if one hasn’t been already..

@matt

just run “xtightvncviewer” on any console, terminal or kicker applet. I installed and worked nice, too bad you have to manually ser the ip each time u use it. Also de scrollbars does not work nicely on Xubuntu 8.10 (humm vinagre does not even show the scroll bars either).. but tight is faster than vinagre
