Re: Issues running TigerVNC on Debian WSL-2

[Mark Wood-Patrick <mwoodpatrick@gmail.com>]

I need to run on Debian under WSL-2 and want to be able to use Microsoft Wayland as display 0 and want to have VNC access to the system. 

Can you elaborate on exactly what your concerns are and how you would resolve them and on your comment about the sticky bit, any links on these issues would be appreciated

Regards

That looks incredibly not OK.  You're doing something unusual, and
you are going to have to deal with the consequences of that.  This
may include running afoul of various things like AppArmor that are
restricting access to specific directory trees, which you are no longer
in.

I can't imagine what benefit you think you're deriving from this
convoluted setup, but whatever it is, I hope it's worth the pain you're
going to experience, trying to track down all of the things you've
broken.

(You've also forgotten the sticky bit on your mounted directory.)
