Restart VINO Installer

I clicked install vino int he menu, but then acidently hit ctrl+c which closed the installer before vino was installed.  the menu thinks its installed and offers the start and stop options.  however I can't connect, so I don't think vino's actually installed.  dconf editor is, and I edit settings, but nothing else.

How can I re-run the vnc server install script?

Re: Restart VINO Installer

The installer pipemenus are mostly using basic apt-get commands. Have you tried doing it directly, using

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vino

Re: Restart VINO Installer

...or find the vino install script in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml, figure out what it does (probably create some file to signify that vino is installed, so remove that file), and start again.

note to devs:
it should be possible to mark vino as installed only at the very end of the script, after a succesful apt-get install!

Re: Restart VINO Installer

@OP: sometimes, it is enough to simply reinstall the package:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall vino

My thoughts exactly, and what I thought the script was already doing.

Checking bl-remote-desktop-pipemenu I see the test is:

if [[ -x /usr/lib/vino/vino-server ]]; then...

which would imply at least a partial install of vino.
iMBeCil's suggestion of reinstalling vino looks well worth trying.

Or maybe even

sudo apt-get purge vino
sudo apt-get install vino
