How to paste into VNC terminal
- Struggled to paste into VNC(graphic) terminal as it does not accept paste, and Remmina kept crashing.
- Use tigervnc-viewer (any should work)
In separate terminal run
sleep 3; echo -e "\r\nroot\r\n<<PASSWORD>>\r\n\r\n" | xdotool type --delay 50 --file -
- before the 3sec timeout click back into VNC, it xdotool will then type username and password
