RealVNC - I need help installing it properly on Rpi 1 B+

Troubleshooting
1

Hello,

It’s been years since my last install of Dietpi. This time, I need to reformat it fresh from the start because for some reason the backup does not work properly and just corrupts my installation.

I still have the same issue as before for RealVNC when I reinstall Dietpi. These are the usual steps I did:

  1. Reinstall Dietpi
  2. Static IP
  3. SSH
  4. dietpi-software
  5. install RealVNC Server
  6. checked dietpi-services
  7. RealVNC showing as “failed”

When it says failed, I know VNC is not starting on the server. And if I use a monitor the icon on the tray does not show up.

My question is, is there are proper way to install RealVNC on my Dietpi installation? Aside from dietpi-software, I don’t want to manually install it as it may cause issues. Although I did tried it its still not working and worse, its not listed under dietpi-services.

Any help is appreciated. Once this works, I will bookmark it as resolved.
