RE: Issues running TigerVNC on Debian WSL-2

[<mwoodpatrick@gmail.com>]

Many thanks for the response. Much appreciated

Permissions look ok

    ls -ld /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix
         drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Apr 17 09:31 /tmp
         lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   19 Apr 17 09:31 /tmp/.X11-unix ->
/mnt/wslg/.X11-unix

    ls -ld /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix
        drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 60 Apr 17 09:31 /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix

I have write access to both locations

Regards

Mark

errno 11 is EAGAIN, "Try again".  How strange.

I would check the ownership and permissions and fullness of your /tmp
directory.  Make sure everything looks all right.

Also see whether there's a /tmp/.X11-unix directory.  Here's what I have:

unicorn:~$ ls -ld /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix
drwxrwxrwt 29 root root 73728 Apr 17 09:19 /tmp drwxrwxrwt  2 root root
4096 Mar 26 08:02 /tmp/.X11-unix

Note the world-writability with sticky bits.
