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