I am attempting to use x0vncserver from the package tigervnc-scraping-server to run a VNC server using my local desktop session. Many guides such as this recommend starting the server with
x0vncserver -passwordfile ~/.vnc/passwd -display :0
or
x0vncserver -display :0
For me, both result in
No protocol specified
x0vncserver: unable to open display ":0"
How can I fix this? I have seen similar issues where the desktop session is owned by a different user, but I am the only user in this situation.
