 I want a simple server GUI VNC system.  Sadly most the instructions on the net do not seem to meet my needs.

The main difference is that I can not be bothered using a secure link in my home private network. So to allow a direct connection add ''-localhost no'' to the TigerVNC command line to allow direct connection, see GitHub TigerVNC notes unable to connect to socket: [[https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/117|Connection refused(10061) #117]]

+If connection is refused may need to use option ''-localhost no'', e.g. ''vncserver -localhost no''
