### How To Setup Vnc:

> If it doesn't work, then don't ask me because it didn’t work for me either



       vnc setup steps: 

       For Debian Based Distro



      sudo apt install  tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-tools -y





      mkdir -p "$HOME/.vnc"





      nano $HOME/.vnc/xstartup





      export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="GNOME"

      gnome-shell --x11 # paste it inside xstartup file




     

      chmod +x "$HOME/.vnc/xstartup"




      

      sudo echo "$YOUR_USER_NAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service dbus start" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers




      

      sudo nano /bin/vncstart




      

      #!/usr/bin/env bash

      sudo service dbus start

      vncserver -geometry 2580x1080 #Add your screen size




      

      sudo chmod +x /bin/vncstart




      

      sudo nano /bin/vncstop




      

      #!/usr/bin/env bash

      if [ "\$1" == "-f" ]; then

      pkill Xtigervnc

      else

      vncserver -kill :*

      fi

      rm -rf /.vnc/localhost:*.pid

      rm -rf /tmp/.X1-lock

      rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix/X1




      

      sudo chmod +x /bin/vncstop

       



### NOTE:



- **Type `DISTRO-NAME` to login into DISTRO CLI.**

- **Type `DISTRO-NAME -r` to login as root user**

- **Type `DISTRO-NAME -tx11` to use gnome with Termux-x11**

- **Type `DISTRO-NAME -remove` to remove the distro**



**Like If You Install Debian So Just Type `debian -r / debian -tx11 / debian -remove`**



### Warning: 

- *In future if you upgarde the system the desktop will fail to launch.*

  #### Fix:

  - **First stop gui and relogin into your distro cli**

  - **Then run the below command inside your distro then start gui again**

```

for file in $(find /usr -type f -iname "*login1*"); do rm -rf $file

   done

```
