Hi, I run in to the problem and I have tried everything what I could find in the google and my VNC still does not work. I am having error that says error getting private key from registry BigNumReadF. Any idea how to tackle that? Cheers Dan

How far in the tutorial did you get?

What commands did you use to generate the key?

So I followed the tutorial below https://www.geekyhacker.com/2021/02/15/configure-ssh-key-based-authentication-on-raspberry-pi/

use TightVNC

I got realvnc working on a headless (key-auth only). I do have to load up lightdm before connecting though so I have a desktop. I think I had to create a virtual session though as there is no screen attached to the pi.
