<p>I recently "upgraded" from 16.04 to 18.04.1</p>
<p>My backend normally runs "headless" and to use mythtv-setup I ran
a remote session and VNC but after the upgrade <b>x11vnc</b> did
not work well so I tried <b>vnc4server</b> but eventually settled
on <b>tightvncserver</b></p>
<p>Now I have (at least) two problems with my remote sessions which
I don't have when I use a screen, keyboard and mouse connected to
the server:-</p>
<p><b>Software-updater</b> gives a message "You are not allowed to
perform this action"</p>
<p>This is not a major problem because I usually update via ssh and
a terminal.</p>
<p>The other problem which I would like a fix for is that when I run
mythtv-setup via the VNC session it opens OK and I can use my
(remote) mouse OK but the keyboard does not work properly (arrow
keys and esc key seem non-responsive)</p>
<p>Do any list members have any suggestions to overcome these
niggles?</p>
