How To Fix vnccapture: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu vnccapture is provided by libnet-vnc-perl package.

libnet-vnc-perl is:

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a desktop sharing system which uses the RFB (Remote FrameBuffer) protocol to remotely control another computer. Net::VNC acts as a VNC client and communicates to a VNC server using the RFB protocol, allowing you to capture the screen of the remote computer.

This module dies upon connection errors (with a timeout of 15 seconds) and protocol errors.

This implementation is based largely on the RFB Protocol Specification, http://www.realvnc.com/docs/rfbproto.pdf. That document has an error in the DES encryption description, which is clarified via http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/junk/vnc.html.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install libnet-vnc-perl

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install libnet-vnc-perl.

sudo apt -y install libnet-vnc-perl

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install libnet-vnc-perl
