<p dir="ltr">So copy the above and create a new file, call it whatever you want (I called it vncserver) then change the permissions to make it executable (chmod +x filename) then place the file into /etc/init.d then run sudo update-rc.d filename defaults and that will make tightvnc load at boot on either 5900 or 590x (whatever you choose in the file as the port) </p>
<p dir="ltr">You'll need to run tightvncserver before rebooting to setup the session password... <br></p>
