Asus Tinker Board tightvnc server installation steps

Just wanted to post this here for others to find, and also for myself to find when I eventually need to redo this.

#good write up at : https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/27676/auto-start-tightvncserver-on-raspberry-pi-2

#first run

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install xfonts-base
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
sudo apt-get install nano

#on a user you want to use to run the server

run command : vncserver

#enter password for the server

let the server stay running

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

#add a line of su – linaro -c ‘/usr/bin/tightvncserver :1’

  1. Thank you for this guide.
    I am stuck at point, (not sure where) but somewhere in this realm

    {
    #enter password for the server
    let the server stay running
    sudo nano /etc/rc.local
    #add a line of su – linaro -c ‘/usr/bin/tightvncserver :1’
    }

    I cant assess the vnc form the client, I have been able to do this with a raspberry.

  2. Hello, there where you say

    let the server stay running

    sudo nano /etc/rc.local

    #add a line of su – linaro -c ‘/usr/bin/tightvncserver :1’

    Where should I add it, which line?
    And will it run on start up?
