I have a new installation of Lubuntu 16.04, and want to install Vino on it. After installing, I can open vino-preferences and configure - but the vino server itself won't start. When attempting to start manually, I get
sudo /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Cannot open display:
Run 'vino-server --help' to see a full list of available command line options
When trying to connect, I get "The connection was refused by the remote computer" - probably because the server isn't running properly. I am not routing this over SSH and am connecting on a local network.
I'm not especially familiar with Linux or how to go about fixing this. My old Ubuntu install worked without issue. Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I decided to go with Vino because it has always worked for me in the past, has a configuration GUI, and most importantly, mirrors the local desktop. I have looked into tightvnc, which may perform better, but it's configuration seems rather complicated and it creates it's own desktop and doesn't mirror.
