I installed TigerVNC on my WSL-2 based Debian distro and installed TogerVNC
using:

 

    sudo apt-get install tigervnc-standalone-server

 

It installed version TigerVNC 1.11.0 but TigerVNC 1.12.0 has been out since
last November is there a reason the package version has not been updated?

 

In trying to run TigerVNC using:

 

    Vncserver :1

 

To display on display 1 (since 0 is Microsoft Wayland) I get:

 

=================== tail /home/mwoodpatrick/.vnc/MarkSpectre14.:5901.log
===================

_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: mkdir(/tmp/.X11-unix) failed, errno =
11
<https://www.bing.com/search?q=errno+11&form=ANNNB1&refig=28839b9aa2594a0ab1
cd007b1568da97> 

_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for unix

 

Anyone know why this is failing, is anyone able to run TigerVNC on WSL-2
Debian

 

Any pointers would be most helpful

 

Regards

 

Mark
