TigerVNC fails to run on LibreELEC (Leia) v8.90.003 ALPHA

  • The tigervnc service addon fails to run on the generic version of v8.90.003 with the error: "x0vncserver: error while loading shared libraries: libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

    Installing tigervnc on a milhouse test build about a week or two ago was working.

    Hardware: Intel NUC BOXNUC7CJYH1

    To reproduce, manually run /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tigervnc/bin/tigervnc.start to see the error message. It doesn't appear to be logged in kodi's log.

  • Hi,

    Am having same issue, trying to run a VNC server - TigerVNC on my LibreElec, seems to be two libraries missing, as per below? (This has worked previously for me)

    LibreELEC:~/.kodi/addons/service.tigervnc/bin # ./tigervnc.start

    x0vncserver: error while loading shared libraries: libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    if [ ! -f "$ADDON_HOME/passwd" ]

    then

    cp "$ADDON_DIR/config/passwd" "$ADDON_HOME/passwd"

    fi

    x0vncserver -PasswordFile="$ADDON_HOME/passwd" -rfbport="$vnc_port"

    LibreELEC (Milhouse): devel-20180822225356-#0822-gb56a1af [Build #0822]

    Can these libraries, libXtst.so.6 & libXdamage.so.1 be added to a future Milhouse build?

    Many thanks again

  • It looks like the addon is out of date, or had a dependency on another addon (possibly Chrome) which no longer includes those libraries.

    Try installing this version of the addon - it's for LE9, so may not work with LE8.2.5:

    service.tigervnc-9.0.103.zip

    Hi Milhouse,

    I uninstalled the previous addon and installed your version, and the 2 dependencies are gone! and TigerVNC works as expected:thumbup:
