I want to install RealVNC. Downloaded RealVNC deb package. Gdebi installer asks for password. Won't accept "rock"... invalid password.
So... what is the real root password?

Edit the link and add gksudo in front of the command.
Hello, you can try NoMachine, who works "out of the box".

Try the armhf version. Very good software, free as in "free beer", no "free software".

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

I did find out that there is a root password. I used root/root and was able to install it.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I managed to install Nomachine on Manjaro by downloading this version and following these instructions.

There seems to be a patch pending to make Nomachine available on Manjaro Pinebook pro.

Warning! This installation is purely empirical! But it works.

Just as an update - I was looking at this today as a means of replacing VNC for connecting to my home server - worked fine but wanted to do 360 video editing on my Pinebook Pro and wanted to add sound Smile

Installing from AUR worked like a charm no problems.
Update: on Manjaro linux, install this version with the same instructions.
