VNC-Client

Unable to locate package evnc

Asked by Martin Delille

I tried installing evnc with the following step on ElementaryOS:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:l-admin-3/apps-daily
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install evnc

But I have the following error:

    E: Unable to locate package evnc

Any idea?

Your distribution is based on Ubuntu 12.04

The PPA only supports Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty). I suggest you upgrade to the next LTS if you want to use the PPA however, there may be a sleeker solution to achieve what you want to use VNC for. What are you wanting to do on the remote PC that needs VNC?

In the mean time, do you know a running VNC server on ElementaryOS Luna? The idea is to connect to my girlfriend PC in order to help her remotely.
