Fix inability to type in Spyder IDE over VNC
With Ubuntu 16.04 at the remote and local ends, I was unable to type anything into the Spyder IDE when connecting remotely over VNC.
What finally fixed this problem for me was using TurboVNC on my laptop.
Install TurboVNC
- Download the latest TurboVNC .deb file
- Install the .deb file
gdebi turbovnc*.deb
Now, the command vncviewer
maps to the more advanced TurboVNC instead of TightVNC.
Notes
Before using TurboVNC, errors included
Qt: XKEYBOARD extension not present on the X server.
I tried putting in my remote system’s ~/.bashrc
the line
export XKB_DEFAULT_RULES=base
based on Spyder Github Issue but with no luck.
