Setting up VNC

[openportz]

Hi there,

I'm having issues setting up vnc4server and/or tightvncserver. I have searched this and solutions did not assist. I tried the suggested command in the error below and apt-get update but also did not help. Can anyone please advise how to rectify this issue?

So did you try --fix-missing

Forgive me if I am wrong as I am new here...

The error would seem to suggest to me a DNS problem.

Did a quick Google search on the error and found the following possible suggestions to check:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/18398...ading-to-12-04

http://askubuntu.com/questions/19954...-with-hostname

Basically they are suggesting you check your DNS server configuration as at present your system is unable to resolve those hostnames.

As I say, I may be completely wrong so please feel free to correct me as I am here to learn as much as I can
